-Mrs and I drink coffee on the 2nd floor lanai/Fl Room every morning looking out over our neighborhood, bird's eye view of our neighbors house on the corner, they moved in a couple years ago, 3-4 children all in the under 10 range i'll say, one or two of them are especially young, maybe under 5.
-These children frequently run amok on ATV/little tiny Motorbikes or motorcycles and my wife and I have had our heart in our throat a couple times watching these children come within a foot or two if not inches of their lives darting in and out of traffic as folks drive home totally not expecting to see them darting out of the yard and their property.
-On my way home tonight, I was driving by their home in order to get to my driveway where I live and the father(I know him) was attempting to back his truck into the driveway and not doing a very good job of it so I simply went around him by cutting thru our property on our side of the road away from him, I was pretty shocked when I pulled into my driveway or building/condo where I live and i see his truck pull up behind me...now I gotta tell you where I come from in Miami...this was not a good thing but I did recognize the man driving the truck as he jumped out.
-The only reason i know or knew who he was...we met at a bar(irony is thick) and I proceeded to tell him all about his kids and family much to his dismay while I was having a beer...these kids take off like a bat out of hell daily in the morning, I really don't care other than the fact he's harping on me about driving around him and what if his kids were running around outside...I wanted to lose my #### and go off on him and ask him about all these other times his kids are completely unattended running around the neighborhood and I have personally intervened twice while I was out walking/cycling trying to stop cars from coming near these kids, it's kind of infuriating.
-I know his little ego was bruised because I wouldn't wait my turn while he blocked the entire street trying to back his F-250 or whatever into his driveway which already houses 3 Jeeps and an SUV(none of that matters but I'm just throwing it in, does every family own 4-5 vehicles these days?)
I was going to try and grab some donuts in the morning from an out of this world place (Jupiter Donuts-Haha) and just leave them with a note apologizing but I'm getting tired of always apologizing...these things need to stop and I know I somehow play a large part in it. Just everything of late, somebody seems personally offended, doesn't matter what I say or do.
I can't be MOP anymore and it kinda sucks. Go ahead, just level me with one punch but I really do like their kids and rather enjoy watching them create terror for the other drivers when i'm sipping coffee upstairs. It's not the kids, it's the adults IMO but maybe I'm not understanding things.
