continuation of annoyance - Spring Edition

Things I have found annoying lately ---- (all tongue in cheek!)

-Neighbors that feel they need to mow, use power tools, weed whackers, hedge trimmers etc. in the early morning hours.  Be reasonable, 7 am is just too early on a Saturday or Sunday.  8 is reasonable, 9 even better!

-The over use of yard signs for candidates.  Do we really need 50 signs for every candidate running for office in every median strip along every road in the city?
Besides the fact that they make it really hard to navigate some intersections.

-The crazy cheering parent(s) at children's sporting events.   They are just little ones and are doing their best, and learning to play and be part of a team.  It's just a game, full of teachable moments - children learn how to win and lose gracefully so please set a good example.  You screaming at the top of your lungs at them isn't going to help them learn this!

-The neighborhood teen (or twenty some yr old) who comes in at midnight (or later) with the music full blast and just sits in front of their house til the favorite song ends.  It's spring, everyone's windows are open, my kids don't need to be awakened by your music.  And we don't need to hear the conversations between boyfriends/girlfriends/friends outside of the care -  ewwwwww
