Signs
Not of the heavenly sort, garage sale signs and house for sale signs. Ok, first off, I am not anti garage sales or anything but when did it become acceptable to put an advertisement sign in someone’s yard. I live on a corner lot and there is a busy street in front of my house but this does not make it right to put your sign in my yard. I would never dream of driving up to someone’s home and putting an advertisement in the front yard. And then you get mad because I take the signs down. Last year I had a lady actually come up to my front door angry because her sign was missing and she had spent $12.00 on it. I tried to be nice I really did. But the smart alec always erupts.. I said “my taxes were about $5,000 last year, if you pay my taxes I will consider your sign.” Needless to say she left in a huff. My husband works so hard to make sure the grass is cut and the yard is fertilized not to become an advertisement spot. It wouldn’t really be bad if someone came to my door and asked if they can put a sign in the yard, but no they drive onto my grass and traipse thru my yard to place their sign. Common courtesy is all I am asking for.
