To the woman down the road

27 comments - Leave a comment

To whom it may concern:

Is it really necessary to bellow like an enraged yak for your children? The whole neighborhood does not enjoy hearing your moose-like call for [child 1] and [child 2].

Sincerely,
The majority of the families living within a one mile radius of you

I’m mailing it (the envelope will have no return address, and the destination address will be printed, not written by hand) from the post office tomorrow. :cool:

  1. You’re too funny, Jenn! :lol:
    I would love to be a fly on the wall when she opens this letter.

  2. You always crack me up. I would love to see her reaction when she opens the letter.

    Lol. My mom was one of those moms. Actually, my dad was too. But, those were different times. (I fondly remember hearing “CAAAAAATE” yelled down the road at dinner time.)

    I’d love to see her reaction when she opens it… lol.

  5. LOL, I can’t believe you’re going to do that but let us know if anything else happens as a result. LOLZ.

    Have you talked to her about it already? She might not know she’s bothering anyone. Maybe she should get one of those dinner bells instead, lol.

    My mom used to scream down the street for us… I never really realized it could have been pissing off the neighbors lol. I bet she has no idea.

    That’s cute, but she might get offended since it’ll be anonymous.

    curious.. what is TGO’s full name?

    That’s funny but have you talked to her first? If I got that in the mail and no one had even bothered to talk to me about it first I would probably just yell louder because I’m kinda mean like that.

    That’s totally unnecessary and rude. Parents need to call in their kids, get the fuck over it. Your little letter won’t stop it. When your kids are old enough to play outside and roam you’ll understand.

    Also, for someone who doesn’t appreciate anonymous shit talking, you should at least have the decency to knock up and tell the parents your complaint face to face.

  14. When a woman stands on her doorstep – refusing to budge an inch even to her front yard, her driveway, or heaven forbid closer to the road – and bellows in a good imitation of a fog horn on a steamer, and it’s loud enough to be heard EIGHT HOUSES AWAY, even with televisions, air conditioners, stereos, and the chatters and shrieking of children, and verbal requests from her immediate neighbors have done nothing, then yes, I think an anonymous letter is in order. Even if does nothing but piss her off and make her think twice about what neighbor to trust and nothing else, it still makes me feel a little better. ;)

    Trust me, this woman doesn’t just do the standard call for her children. She BELLOWS.

    That’s pretty passive-agressive, and not to mention, kind of cowardly. A direct, friendly approach is probably more effective.

    Its pretty rude to hollar down the street like all the time for her kids instead of going out and looking for them. It gets really annoying after awhile if you have never heard someone in your own neighborhood do that.

    Awww… that’s kinda mean lol! Merry Freaking Christmas to her I guess…. at least send it in a Christmas card! LOL! ;)

  19. Elyse wrote on #

    Ah, neighbors. They make Christmas merrier!

  20. Jessica wrote on #

    Well, I would certainly send it to her. I’m mean like that though, lol.

  21. Caitlin wrote on #

    Haha that is so awesome. I wonder if it will change anything though. My next door neighbors are like that calling for their children and for their dog but I think they just like the attention.

    It would probably be more effective if you actually had the names of the houses that wanted her to stop, or talk to her person-to-person. Passive-aggressive actions barely ever work. IF I was that woman, I wouldn’t even change if I read the letter.

    LOL! That’s too funny! I wonder what her reaction will be, and, more importantly, whether she’ll take notice of how annoying she is and stop!
