Not sure how that's facepalm... the dogs going wild constantly is a pain. It's not like it's the same person who had a child with a peanut allergy so how could they know? It's not like they were being thoughtless or rude.
Asking some anonymous neighbor to remove their peanut tree was pretty funny.
But maybe more, blaming the barking dogs - complainer's own dogs - on a mysterious peanut feeder, as though squirrels wouldn't be running around the neighborhood, playing on the fences and trees anyway, is like the poster has never experienced squirrels before.
Why are there so many of you fuckers out here that think peanuts grow on trees.
That's what's so funny. Get rid of your peanut trees. And your raisin bushes. Tear our the potato hedge.
Fuck, I wish I could just pick potatoes off of a hedge in my back yard.
Unfortunately I live in an apartment 😢
Do you have a balcony that gets good light? Google "potato grow bag" if you do, and if you wanna grow some potatoes 😁
I have a yard but opted for a grow bag. After a while I saw buds pop up, but it looked sparse. The results seemed as though they'd be a disappointment, until I unearthed them one day and had a ton of potatoes. None particularly large, but it was pretty awesome to discover. And let me tell you, I did so very little to keep them alive. They're pretty easy to grow.
And the grow bags are now the home to two blueberry bushes that I also do nothing for, and the fucking birds come and they eat my goddamn blueberries, and so maybe next year!
Can whomever it is in the neighbourhood with a blueberry tree please remove it? The birds keep landing on our fence to eat them and our cat is hurting our eardrums from all the meowing. She cant ignore them, its her prey drive. Also they are dropping blueberry skins all in the bushes and our neoghbours son has a blueberry allergy.
What's that have to do with the second red underline then??!
What, kids and allergies? Are the squirrels feeding the children peanuts? You have to eat the peanut to get an allergic reaction. It doesn't work like fentanyl on cops, you won't die by just being around the peanut.
Er, yeah it does work like that for some people.
Are you saying they shouldn't let their child out in the garden anymore? Or how do you expect them to always watch their child and stop them from putting a peanut (shell) into their mouth?
IDK, I don't have kids, but I am pretty sure that "watching what Your child is doing" is kind of a thing.
Bro you're like the 15th person to say peanut tree without it being a joke. I'm thinking we need a public service announcement.
Maybe - and hear me out - it's the dogs that are the problem?
"Can't control their prey drive" is a bad excuse. You control your dog or you don't deserve to have one. End of story. A dog barking endlessly is the responsibility of the owner to control or get rid of their damn dog.
It isn't hard to teach your dog not to be a nuisance. I've done it before. Blaming the dog because you failed to teach/control it is not correct, and simply shows that you do not have what it takes to be a dog owner.
Yeah… my neighbor has two rats (I mean small little ankle biting POS dogs) who bark anytime someone walks remotely near the backyard fence which is on a Main Street because he lives on a corner… or they sit by the front window which he leaves open and bark/whine all damn day while he’s gone…
I 100% sympathize with the neighbor complaining about the barking…
I feel bad for the neighbors sure, but the post also mentions their own dog. Like if you can't train your dog that's on you.
Oh absolutely agree… my dog is crate trained because I know she’d go nuts in the backyard too if left alone…
Dogs hate very high pitched whistles that humans can’t hear. If you were to use one when they bark at you that might just train them not to.. File that under unethical LPTs
LOL, the squirrels that were annoying my dog, were climbing on a tree next to the windows and barking at her (obviously not loud like a dog, but it was definitively barking), as if they were mocking her that she can't do anything to them. I can imagine why dog would be upset.
Yeah birds sat outside my window and do that to my cats at my old house. It was hilarious for a bit.
Yeah squirrels chatter fucking obnoxiously
