Time for an Enid Buzz Rant...

Seems like there's a lot of talk about trashy neighbors and cleaning up Enid. I'm not exactly sure what the controversy is about. Why would anyone not want a clean neighborhood and a better looking Enid? Oh, I forgot, there are those folks in Enid like my ex-neighbors from several years back.

Let's see, we lived next door to each other in a very west side addition with nice homes and clean yards. These neighbors, not poor, were dirty, stinkin, nasty people. That's it. They just didn't care one iota about being clean, looking good or what anyone else thought. Sure it's a free country but not when your nasty habits affect my life.

You see, these neighbors had six dogs. They kept three very large dogs in the bag yard. They went one summer without ever cutting the backyard grass. These dogs only had a path around the edges of the fence to walk. The swing set was buried in grass and their daughter could not have used a machete to find her way through even if she had wanted to. They also kept three little dogs inside their very stinky house. Because of the dogs in back they erected a wire fence in the front yard right next to our bedroom window.

Needles to say, every time they would let these yapping banshee's outside at 5:30 a.m. they would wake us up. They only mowed their front yard about once every six weeks. We actually had a neighbor across the street mow their lawn one day because he was tired of looking at the knee high grass.

Now why should I care about lazy slobs like this? Because their nasty, uncivilized behavior caused our yard to become infested with fleas, ticks and mice. Their screeching dogs woke us up nearly every morning. Calling the city didn't help much because the dogs had to be outside screeching for them to get ticketed and the dogs normally stayed inside the pee infested house.

Did we invite many people over to our house? No. Did we enjoy coming home and making our yard look good? No. Did we move out of the neighborhood as quick as we could? YES! Listen, if you want to complain that it is your right to live like a pig that's fine. Just don't do it next to my house. You all find a nice rat infested neighborhood, park your cars in the yard and move in together.

I found a great site to help Enid with it's trashy people problem. If your neighbor is a lazy slob report them to this site. If you are looking for a place to live check out the site and avoid the areas with the "problem" citizens. This site also gives the location of sex offenders.
