I yearn for the day when the little sperm/egg combinations go back to school and the neighbourhood quiets the fuck down again.
When I was young, the darkness meant QUIET THE FUCK DOWN YOU LITTLE ARSES!
(directed toward the parents of you darling, little sperm/eggers) —Mr. Meaty

meaty, kids will never be quiet. there are times, when asleep, yes. but i guess some are doomed to hear their cheerful little voices are over the place.
what gets me tho, is why some parents, let the 6 and 7 yr. olds out, way after 10 p.m.
Try living above 3 frat boys when they are holding a “sleepover” and the mating rituals spill out into the parking lot of an otherwise “adults only” apartment complex.
Hmmm, I wonder if @mb#r ever found her shorts?
Or was it just a dream?
Hahahaha, how OLD are you?
Hahaha…
If that’s for me Nuk, I can say I have the maturity of a 13 year old and the curmudgeon gene of an octogenarian. The antics of YDC’s (young, dumb, full of c#m) fail to amuse, anymore.
I can’t even enjoy Dating Naked, because of the stupidity of the participants, and, hay, I LIKE BEWBS. >: (
D’oh. Stupid passage of time.
Heavens no, Ivan. I picture you as a 27 year old David Attenborough. And sometimes as Max, just not as Mad.
If someone dressed a potato up as Tom Clancy you’d have a more than reasonable facsimile, but I thank you all the same.
Yes kids, back to your video games and doritos.
Ummm…the older students that are going to replace them may stay up a little later, Meaty.
Yeah, but those I have fined under the right to quiet enjoyment bylaws… children have no money…LOLOL!
with some kids you can’t tell if they’re playing or being stabbed but drunken douches are much worse
“Yeah, but those I have fined under the right to quiet enjoyment bylaws”
Oh, I’m sure you did…….
i think uncle vanya is the ultimate spy, many different hats and you won’t see him coming
Yeah, I have, do and will. 🙂
Meaty, I had always thought the “Right to Quiet Enjoyment” was exclusively between the tenants and landlord. If that is the case, how can one be fined?
^^ Be a little douchehat in a neighbourhood and yo’ neighbours can call the cops and have you fined for noise violations.
When I was little, we played until it was almost dark then our folks would stand on the front step of our houses and yell our names. And my dad was the guy all the kids were kinda scared of because he was so tall and imposing and could be very loud, so he’d tell us ‘no screaming outside’ and we took that as the word of the law. We’d get in major shit if we violated that law. But that was back when parents respected other parents’ discipline methods (at least in my hood, anyway) because they knew they were just looking out for your kid and if one parent grounded you and your friend, the parent of your friend respected that and enforced it. Those were the days when parents looked out for ALL the kids on your street, and that included feeding them lunch when they were playing with your kid, giving them a drink when they were thirsty, patching them up when they fell off their bikes, or laying down the law when it had to be laid down. Everything’s so structured now – you don’t just show up at your friend’s place and ask if they can come out and play, or just ask your parents if your friend can come inside to play, you have ‘play dates’ scheduled weeks in advance! Forget last minute “can my friend sleep over, tonight” requests – sleep overs are now planned far in advance between parents. Where’s the fucking fun in that? Best part of growing up was just chillin’ with your friends and not having structured ‘play dates.’
And nowadays you even LOOK at another parents’ kid sideways and they threaten a law suit ffs.
^^ Thanks for the clarification……
My specific inquiry was towards the term “Right to Quiet Enjoyment”. The police cannot enforce your “Right to Quiet Enjoyment” as that process would go through the tenancy board, not 911. Which then brings me to the mention of a monetary fine. Once again, the police can’t do this as it is a tenancy board issue so who would issue the fine?
Nukka, The sub-division residents’ association perhaps.
Oh dear god, fuck off. It can happen. Call 902 490 5020 and ask all your stupid questions. Jesus!
Yes, Mr Meaty. I will call 902 490 5020 to lodge a noise complaint in progress. However the “Right to Quiet Enjoyment” is an entirely different story. One that involves the Tenancy Board, not the police responding to a noise complaint.
Now at first you claim to have already had several individuals fined by saying “Yeah, I have, do and will. :)”, but now you’re merely claiming it is a possibility by saying “Oh dear god, fuck off. It can happen.”
It now appears as though you’ve been caught in a lie and are partaking in evasive behaviour.
Glad we sorted this out 🙂
PS- This is more of a story then the stupid parking tickets.
Hey Meaty, I just caught you in another lie. You can’t call 902 490 5020 with questions, its only for non-emergency matters not Q & A’s. But she did transfer me to by-law enforcement. The term you were looking for is By-Law N-200, the person I spoke to had never heard of the term “Right to Quiet Enjoyment” throughout their work.
An interesting point that was brought up is what do you think the response time for the officers to be? I’m sure they’d drop everything because the kids are playing jump rope or hide and seek on your street.
So if you actually did call any authority about some children, good luck even getting an officer to show up for your “right to quiet enjoyment”. Haha, imagine hearing the recording for that call!!!
Nukka, you have a vagina, right?
