[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 518012, member: 3907"] Let's see... The amorous teenage boys who come strolling, skateboarding or driving down my street, attempting to impress my next-door neighbour's daughter. She's a beautiful girl, just finishing high school, and nice into the bargain. And they all stand in her driveway, bending her ear. The way our street curves, the back of our house faces the side of theirs, so her driveway is just below my bedroom window. And so I can hear them...um...pitching woo. It's sad, really. And so far, she's not impressed. But still they try, and I have to listen to them go on. The city workers who have been repairing the water mains at the bottom of the court. The other morning, I found a truckload of them peering in my windows while I was doing my morning workout. I know, I know...I should close the curtains. Except that I don't have any curtains in that room because it's just been renovated and we haven't gotten around to buying the new ones, let alone hanging them. And for pete's sake! I work out at 4:30 in the blankety-blank morning so that I CAN BE LEFT ALONE TO EXERCISE IN PEACE. I don't expect anyone else to be awake at that hour, let alone looking in my windows watching me make an idiot of myself to the Ab Blaster Thingy or the Merengue-At-Home workout. The idiot who keeps cutting through the soaker hose that runs around the outer edge of my back garden. It's in the corner furthest from the house, but right next to the bus stop. He reaches through the fence and splits it open with a knife. Replacement hose, same thing. Last summer, he cut through THREE hoses before I gave up and started watering the gardens by hand. I'm dreading his return this spring, and trying to come up with a plan to thwart him. All I can think of is installing galvanized steel conduit that runs around the edge of the yard...like I don't have better things to do with my time or money than planning how to thwart some idiot vandal. My preference would be to just lurk, catch him in the act, and then brain him with a garden spade, but it always happens when husband and I are at work. Sigh... [/QUOTE]
