Chit chat

Well I don't live in a neighborhood per say.. I live on a ~1-1.5 mile U shaped road that used to be a family farm. About 25 years ago the patriarch started to sell off the land. What was left his family sold off, save for one 11 acre plot where the black sheep of the family lives in a very "methlabesque" mobile home. He's quiet though, so long as he doesn't make eye contact with you.. then he'll try to offer to buy your land and go on a tirade about how its his family land anyway.. he doesn't even have a job he can't buy land.

 

anyway... This side of the road, aside from that interesting guy is 6 houses with 1-11 acre plots, mostly 3/2s. The other side is mostly mobile homes, save for a development that came through in the last 5 years, so there's some suburban types over there.

 

The ATV kid lives in a mobile home near the top end of the U on the other side of the road. (I live at the other point of the U) He rides all the time and you can hear it when outside, but inside you can't. He normally keeps it on his family land, but lately hes been getting rather bold with it and has been riding it on the street.

 

Beyond my property to the back, and actually wrapping around our entire area is a multi-thousand house neighborhood with all the noise and activity that comes from suburbia. As I type this the kid with the booming stereo is doing his thing. He'll be deaf one day.. or maybe he'll wise up and get rid of all that mess. I was a "boom kid." I grew out of it.

 

I have issues with noise in general. Misophonia I've heard it called. Most people who have it have issues with silverware scraping, but my noises are birds (robins and cardinals mainly) and ATVs (any small engine.. like forklifts, dirt bikes, sports bikes) but any repetitive noise wears on me very quickly. I found myself yelling at a dog in the suburban neighborhood yesterday as I sat on my golfcart in the back yard reading the paper. I was enjoying the afternoon and my land! The dog was ruining it!

 

I grew up on 6 acres. I've always been a "rural" person, but.. I like to be close enough to the city that I can get internet and not have to have a well. I don't spite the neighborhoods TOO much.. they bring piped water out here, DSL, and maybe one day even piped natural gas.

I would go running out side the next time you hear him coming and tell him you just heard the cops coming out to your block because of the noise!! It may only work once or twice but then the third time you do call the cops!! It has worked in the past for me.

I was grandfathered with unlimited data and no roaming charges. I was having to work out of town and was using a lot of off-network data. AT&T complained about it for a couple of months and then told me to take my new phone and find service elsewhere. I had just renewed my contract, and they cancelled it and didn't charge any fees.

Cricket is owned by AtT so you can keep your phone, much cheaper , BUT they throttle data , as it has a Max throughput of 8mbps and you'll only get a fraction of the speed they are giving ATT customers at any given tower.(or else everyone would go to the cheaper place).

 

I just dropped sprint for att and was looking at all the options. T mobile in my town is only 2G!

Wow.. thats a big smelly pile of it right there.

 

I'd be red in the face furious.

 

But you know they have an army of black suits with 400 pages of legal documentation at the ready that basically says they can do anyhthing they want to you or your phone at any time without notification, or any stated, unstated, thought or UN-thought reason.

 

Crap like this is why we need more competition. I feel like with internet and cell phones we've been teetering on the late 90s.. we keep going back and forth on limits and speeds.. we're getting so little innovation because only 2 or 3 mega corps control everything..

 

ATT rubs me the wrong way all the time, but I dont have much choice. Verizon has no coverage at my house, Metro PCS BOOST mobile sprint etc dont either. Basically there's one tower about 3 miles from here.. I guess ATT owns it..
