Great solution for people walking across your lawn

[Raymond Lin]

Would be easier to put up a picket fence.

Those are mostly children walking home from school. He looks like he lives in a nice neighbourhood as well. This is just a passive aggressive solution to get back at people rather than actually stopping people. Come the summer you will get people purposely dancing on his lawn to get some water to cool down. In the winter one might argue someone might slip from the ice he cause and get a lawsuit. This is America after all.

Wow, somebody needs to get a life.

I dunno, it went viral and he's probably going to get a lot of attention and money now.

If you are going to be that protective over your property like others have said put up a wall. The reality is that it is human nature to take the shortest route possible.

What if the water damaged someone's phone etc? Would the owner of the land be liable?

Absolutely. I remember the time I dropped my phone into the sea when I was kayaking. I sued Poseidon.

 

[Em3bbs]

/That/ made the press?

Slowest news week in history it would sem.

You get annoyed if cats or foxes walk over your car, let alone people walking over your lawn!

The news isn't about politics or current affairs any longer. It's all just what's popular in the media and on television.

The news sites want clicks. That's all they care about. What's happening on I'm a Celebrity or Gogglebox is made more important than other events...

It seems to me that the BBC site carries more celebrity stories than it did in the past. I'm assuming they do that based on user behaviour.

News sites are learning from Facebook that few people want a weighty analysis or serious news stories: what gets clicks is a 15 second video of a celebrity tripping over a dog.

Might not be allowed to

haha, that’s great! I’ll give that a proper read at the 11am toilet session. Love this quote though

When God "failed to turn up in court", Penrose won the case by default.”

agree it might be a condition of owning the property. Then again, I’m still not sure a sprinkler is a good move. I think it will attract people to see it and play. A bit like painting words to fast jets on your roof to make them go away. In fact you make the place more identifiable and unique which attracts rather than detracts attention

The follow up which the tik tok guy probably won't post is when he gets shot or his cars get torched.

Shame the rest get thrown out for not serving proper notice as God is of no fixed abode.

Yeah, the quoted one is the only good one.

 

[bayo000]

Guess this approach didn't work

 

[Tefal]

Yeah, the quoted one is the only good one.

Given they have to swear on the bible in front of God in court there could they not just serve notice then

 

[randomshenans]

TBF lawn care is a mission to keep it nice and having people walk that line everyday would ruin his lawn. I mean, it would make sense to put up a fence, but the lawn looks in a weird spot from the images, so not sure it's even possible to put a fence up?

It did

This is a lie, I laugh and takes pics to share on Geocities. You even laughed at them!

 

[robgmun]

Indeed. A friend of mine who lives just outside of Vegas went away on deployment and upon returning home found that the neighbourhood association were trying to fine him due to his lawn being slightly overgrown and unkempt.

HOA's are absolutely mental and seems backwards that in the "Land of the free" that anyone has the right to tell you what to do on your own land

I noticed when I went over there Americans seem less anxious about putting up fences than we do here.

I was staying in a residential district and noticed in the backyards nobody had a fence.
