This is the crap I hate!!!!!
 

We got a crap load of fireworks for the 4 Of July and we were lighting them off when the idiots next door come over and TELL US THEY'LL CALL THE COP'S IF WE KEEP DOING THEM!!!!!! They said they were sleeping but what the hell do they expect on the 4 Of July! NOW WE HAVE 30 Fireworks we can't shoot off! I'm so freaken angry!!!! They better not come out of there house when I'm around or else there getting a ass kicking from me!!!!

I'm mostly angry because this is one of my favorite holiday's and now I can't do it anymore as long as they live next door. God, dumbass.....

Aww.. That really sucks. Are they illegal where you live? They're supposed to be here.

We had a huge get together thing and shot off over $200 worth of fireworks. It was quite awesome.

EDIT: Dammit, I wasted my 1000th post. I was being so conservative in posting, so it'd mean something too. Oh well. I've waited a good 2 years and not spammed up my post count for this moment.

Not that it really means anything. :rolleyes: I just like the 5 symbols. *misses the stars*

It's the 5th right now.....

Wow, pretty self absorbed of them to dawn the curtain down on fireworks on the fourth of July.

Sorry about your luck. You could always go to a public show or set them off in a more remote location.

UGH!!! I just can't belive he walked up to us and told us to stop or he'd call the cop's.

It's the fourth you idiot! Of course people are setting them off. You can't go around telling everyone to stop because your tired. That guy's got a lot of balls to do that...and next year you can call the cops all you want bacause next time I'm not stopping!

Hehe...poor idiot! It's 12:25 over here and there still is a bunch of fireworks going off all over town.

Go have fun, blow up his home if you can. :fuzwink:

Why did you stop then, I'd tell the guy to go get some ear plugs and keep firing off my fireworks. When 4th of July is coming up and he doesn't like fireworks, get earplugs and a sleeping pill and go to bed early don't go ruien someone elses fun. I so hate it when people do that.

I hate fireworks. They piss me off straight. The 4 months either side of Guy Fawkes Night when everyone thinks they have the right to create loud noise and epileptic lighting and litter the ground with dangerous explosives are like hell. Fireworks should be restricted to public events.

I see exactly where your neighbour is coming from. I am sorry you had to miss out on your celebrations, though. Perhaps some cordial negotiations with him before next year might find a compromise you can both appreciate?

What a wet blanket.

You should have called him a terrorist. Because, you know, he obviously hates freedom. XP

You know, I doubt the cops would have even come over because of his complaint. It's the 4th, for Christ's sake, and cops tend to be patriotic people. You should have kept shooting off fireworks. Even if a cop did show up, he would probably just tell you to stop, and you could have shot off so-and-so many fireworks before he got there.

Exactly! The cops don't give a shit. My grandma's nieghbor is a cop and even he was blowing off fireworks!

Well...the cop's in my town are a pain in the ass anyway....knowing them they would find a reason to give us a fine.

Well that's lame as the Dickens. There were tons of fireworks everywhere in the city yesterday. It was joyous. But there were very few good ones, which was a shame. Still, I like them.

You thought your 4th sucked because some cops busted you? I had to spend mine taking my goddamn bartender/seller license to get a job at a gas station.

max the mug you are a wet blanket I had nothing against you untill now.

Pretty pathetic reason to not like someone.

They are illegal in Wisconsin, and most of the good stuff that goes BOOM!!! is illegal, too. Thats why you go out into cow country and do it. There is nobody to hear it so nobody can bitch. Spud cannons and M80s at the ready!

What you should have done was walk down the street and let them off there. That way you could still see the fireworks and your neighbors could get some shut eye.

screw his neighbour put them under his freaken pillow see how well he can call the cops then.

If I'm a wet blanket because I care about pollution and disturbances, then so be it. I sincerely hope this does not affect our friendship.

I don't see how its that much polluting, its all exploded, burnt up, or biodegradable anyhow.
And you know what? The 4th of July is the 4th of July. Stuff will burn. Stuff will blow up. Stuff will make very loud noises. Cowboy up and stop being such a pansy. If I was a cop I'd be very angry if one of these dillholes called me up
Dillhole: I'd like to report a disturbance, officer. My neighbors are lighting off fireworks and firecrackers.
Officer: Look at the calendar you whiny S.O.B. Waste my time with this next year and I'll personally cram a quarterstick in your mailbox. Christ, and you wonder why your house gets egged and TP'd all the time.

Guys, don't hold it against him. He's clearly British, and therefore doesn't have the innate desire to blow shit up.

Not until the fifth of November at least. Then they find some Guy, shove sparklers up his arse and light the wick.

Statikk, fireworks contain heavy metals and many toxins. When they combust, the chemicals are released into the atmosphere. There's also the light pollution and noise pollution, as well as more direct risks to people and animals and vegetation and housing.

But all things in moderation. I love a firework display as much as the next person, but come mid-October, it's endless disturbance and filth for several weeks. A few organised public events would be a wonderful compromise.

Oh you. :)

Its pretty mild in comparison to the pollution needed to say make a CD, computer, or car far outstrip my sparkler inferno and cherry bomb pollution. Anyhow, its a holiday where people light off fireworks and firecrackers so I think the people who call the cops about it are some of the most touchy jerks on the planet. This doesn't happen on other holidays in Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Dillhole: Hey, a lot of Germans are getting toasted, eating sausage, listening to "old time" music, telling obscene jokes, and yelling very loudly
Officer: Hey, dillhole, its Oktoberfest. Have a beer brat and some kraut and mellow out already.

You don't have to be touchy to dislike the effects of a public celebration. You just need a bit of perspective and, perhaps, a well-timed holiday out in the tropical rainforest for a few days.

Or perhaps you could just go to China...

Yes. I hear they haven't invented the firework yet.

p.s. On the topic of being an arse and spoiling everybody else's fun, am I the only one who really wished to have a rocket launcher to hand when the local Italian community started showing their patriotism following their World Cup ‘accomplishment’?
