Tornado?

The weather forecasters are all foaming at the mouth over this afternoon's tornado warning for NYC. But that ain't gonna stop these folks from picking through their latest trash-can scavenged goodies!

Tuesday - still raining

They're back in business today. I guess that it takes a lot of bottles and cans to pay for that (illegally) parked limo that they have in the driveway.

Monday in the rain

I was fooled. Last Wednesday the back corner of their yard was cleaned out and the bottle and can sorting only lasted about 15 minutes last Thursday and Friday. I had mistakenly thought that this BS was coming to an end. Guess that they were just sprucing up for their weekend party.

What do we have come Monday afternoon? A resurgence! Perhaps because of the rain it didn't last too long (thankfully).

If this crap doesn't attract critters, then why do they store this junk as far away from their house as possible?

PARTY!

We were out on Saturday afternoon, so we missed the beginning of their festivities. But, we did we did get home around 6:30 PM the backyard party was going full storm. While they did move the crowd indoors about 10 PM, as you can see in the first photo, they didn't bother to close their door (they almost never do) so the loud music and louder, drunken talk carried in the air and into all of the neighboring houses.

Of course, they had to leave the door open so that the little kids in the house could periodically come out to shoot a couple of baskets or just or have screaming contests.

A complaint about the din was made to 311 at 11:15 PM. In an attempt to get some sleep, we closed our windows and put on the ceiling fan and air conditioner.

We were able to fall asleep without too much trouble, but were awoken at 1:57 AM by the increased assault of noise coming from the house.

This time, I called the local precinct "We'll try to send a car" and attempted once again to go back asleep.

Getting up at 7AM we found that the party was still going strong, the music had been turned off, but the people inside were louder and drunker.

You can see in the second photo that they still hadn't closed their door (and, yes, that is last year's Christmas wreath still on it).

It was only when I left the house at 8:40 AM that I saw some of their guest going home!

We were out again on Sunday afternoon, but when we got home in the early evening we could see that they were partying again! This time, whale the adults were out in the back, the children must've been asleep in bed as the house itself was dark with the door closed. Clearly the parents knew that their behavior was loud and disruptive, and wanted to shield their kids, but it was still okay to poop on all the neighbors.

And, what about the complaints that were made to the police? According to the page at 311 officers visited the house at 3:00 AM and "took action to fix the condition". Well, besides the cops taking four hours to respond (much better than no at all), they weren't very effective when they did.

The was one good thing about the party: no bottle and can sorting!

blanket of bottles

What a spread! And there's more in the back!

cookout

Now that the bottle and can sorting is done, it's time for a cookout! Again, no charcoal will be injured - just what looks like what once was an old cabinet that was just unloaded from their van.



With the fire well under way, it's time to take out the circular saw to make sure that there is enough wood to keep this fire going for hours!

Sunday stockpile - and re-sort

After yesterday afternoon and evening's s#$t sorting, we have Sunday morning's nice, neat stockpile.



Unfortunately, come Sunday afternoon, these a-holes are re-sorting all the crap that they sorted yesterday!

another Saturday of sorting

As this is the third consecutive Saturday afternoon of this, it seems that Saturday afternoons are becoming their prime time for bottle and can sorting.

Last week, this BS went on for a full fours hours straight. I hope (but don't expect) today to be better.

Saturday's crap

Just in case you might think that this bottle sorting mess is only an occasional event. Here are two photos from this past Saturday afternoon.

These asses spent nearly four - that's right four - continuous hours sorting their trash and then they started in again for another two hours Sunday morning at 8:30.

today's garbage picking

Just a look at this morning's load of crap! It's a feast day for vermin and bugs!

this is a barbeque?

Haven't these people ever heard of charcoal? Is is any wonder why our houses smell like they've been in a fire when these idiots burn a disemboweled shipping pallet for their cookouts? Isn't this supposed to be illegal in NYC?
