    Reminds me of that story about a sports field that got weird „opening hours“ because some old fuck nearby didn’t like the children being noisy near his house. After some months it got turned into a parking lot because „no one was using the sports field“.

    Bro, I hate children too. But you have to draw the line at lung cancer.

      That’s kind of my head canon of why the park near my parent’s house no longer has benches. It’s three blocks away from a school, and kids/teens would hang out there.

      Guessing some Karen whose house faced the park flipped their shit.

      So he hates the noise the youth made, but is ok with people revving to the extremes.
