YOU'RE rude? Then ... what are THEY? Sounds like your signs are too subtle. You need some Beware. Attack Trained Dogs!, Trespassers, Be Advised - Snakes in Field! And, Trespassers Will Be Shot, Survivors Will Be Shot Again! signs. As for "graduation pictures", it's hard to believe they could be graduating since they obviously never learned to read, not to mention you had to repeat yourself over again, and they still didn't get it. A little slow. BTW, that's exactly what I would've said to that mouthy little b....h. Plus, I'd have called the cops on whoever damaged the fence. Have you ever considered razor wire?
I am ashamed to admit it, but my daughter, with whom I do NOT get along, believes she should be allowed to trespass on private property to forage for mushrooms. She makes money on morels every spring and wants to expand. Little Socialist! She's her father's daughter, and I divorced him years ago. Guess why?
When I was president of my condo association back in the 1990's (before I got smart and moved to the boonies), One night, I saw some college kids pull up to our pool. Knowing they weren't residents, I turned around and followed them. They were just about ready to climb the fence and have a private pool party when I pulled up and confronted them. Of course, one had a bigger mouth than the rest with a sense of entitlement to go with it.
ME: Do you live here?
MOUTH: (Indignantly) No, but we swim here all the time. (Oh! That makes it ok?)
ME: Not any more. This is private property and you're trespassing. Furthermore, the pool is for residents only who pay for the privilege.
MOUTH: What do you care?
ME: I'm one of the paying residents and the president of the association, so leave.
MOUTH: What, are you on some sort of power trip?
ME: No. I'm just tired of little punks like you who think you're entitled to do whatever you want.
MOUTH: You can't call me a punk. I'm a college student!!
ME: (I'd returned to college to study for my new career) Gee. What a coincidence! So am I!!
MOUTH: You're awfully old to be a college student, aren't you?
ME: Why, yes I am. And, you're awfully stupid to be a college student, aren't you?
At that point he became furious and yelled, "Suck my ____!"
To which I replied, "Oh goody! Let me run home for my tweezers and magnifying glass, and I'll be right back."
The girls just stood there with their mouths hanging open, while the other guy said, "Let's just go" and stuffed The Mouth in the car. They never came back. Imagine that.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!
