Block Party A-Holes

[Foster]

a few weeks ago i get this letter in the mail inviting me to and asking my permission to block off our street for a block party.
i wasn't planning on participating, but i didn't want to be a killjoy either, so i didn't oppose.
anyhow, today is the day, and i am pissed at myself for not saying "no"
my mom went into the hospital thursday night, and my dad doesn't drive, so yesterday and today i've been going back and forth with my dad to visit my mom.
on my way back home this afternoon, i pulled up to my block and found a blockaid at the end of my street. i slowy drove around it (making sure i didn't run over any of my neighbors or their children) and was greeted my this asshole screaming at me that the street is closed.
apparently, i missed the fine print on the invite that said i would not drive to or from my house during this festive event
so i had to park about a mile away and hear lovely neighbors berating me on my way back to my house.
these assholes aren't even using the street!
they all have their gas grills at the end of their driveways and no one is leaving their yards!
why the fuck does the street need to be blocked off for!

have to go, my dad just called. time to start my treck back to car.

I wonder if they would have obliged you if you had said no, since they don't care to let you through in a time of family emergency.

Next time bring some pie!:wink:


Where I used to live, they used to have a block party every year for a nice meet and greet for 2-3 hours. I've been to a few, mind you it was the suburbs and the road was big enough so that people that didn't participate and had to use there cars could.

Is a blockaid something that helps blocks?

from the way i read the notice, if i wanted to be a prick and said "no, fuck you i don't want the road blocked off", they would not be able to get the permit from the town.

They are probably going to come into your house and kill you as you sleep.

that won't surprise me, but this crowd is the type that breaks your windows after you leave for work.

they're going to be real happy in about 30 minutes when pull out of my driveway again.
