They keep out the dogs of those owners that decide to excercise them off
the lead and thus allow them to run into anyone's garden, **** on the
grass and run out again before the owner even catches up with them.

They also discourage other people's children from using the gardens

Not here. Few front gates here.

That's not right either. Lots of places ban front fences so there is no

Yeah, I got conned into stuffing letterboxes with local council
election flyers when a mate of mine was running for the local
council. Our letterboxes are all on the front fence line, not
in the front door. Knew the ****ing great alsatian would
love to come with me. I never had him on a lead, he much
preferred to go where he liked. Came to one place with a
absolutely immaculately groomed big front garden with
the old bugger farting around with some of the flowers.
I used to feed the dog the dry dog food which produces
enormous turds due to the indigestible cereals in the food.

Needless to say the dog chose his immaculate lawn
to drop an enormous turd right in the middle of it.
I thought the old bugger was gunna have a heart

Then take revenge on the ****wit who allows it to do so. Is it not illegal where you are to permit a dog to foul a public (or presumably someone else's private) land? In the UK I believe the fine is £250. All you need is CCTV footage.

In the US jumping over a fence goes a long way towards justifying
being shot. (at least in the red states)

But just opening it to walk through, you could be just going to the
front
door.

Few yanks are such desperate povs/chavs that the only place
you can get to thru the gate is the front door, even in trailer parks.

I said COULD. So someone entering through the gate shouldn't be shot, as
they could be visiting you, delivering a package etc.

So the gate achieved nothing.

It clearly does if they jump over it.

You mean doesn't.

Nope. There, if they jump over the gate, you are free to gun them down.

Sucking troll cock?

Likewise here, just laziness. There is a busy regular bus route along
the road, at the end of my street. A good half mile of that is
occupied by large detached and semi- detached houses, these share a
long access road at the rear and a have large-ish rear gardens with
garages and parking built on them. Do they use the rear to park, not
likely...

They park out front, usually in a continuous row of near 1/2 mile of
parked vehicles, causing absolute chaos for traffic. Cars usually
manage to somehow get through, but buses really struggle. I have even
regularly seen them incredibly park on both sides of the road, making
it a real struggle for buses, sometimes impossible.


But do the planners try to accept that people like to park out front? No!

No burglar was ever actually stupid enough to burgle my

The posty used to **** himself when he zoomed

hurled himself at the big patio door only 10'

https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/pa...c3ffcbfea4a0bd

That's the kid's problem.

No problem for him.

And their parents for not simply teaching them to swim.

No point in his case, there was no pool yet.

Everyone should learn to swim, it's a very useful ability.

Sure, but it's not that simple with kids as young as that.

Sensible people teach their babies to swim, it's easier at that age.

That doesn't stop them drowning in pools when
they don't have the strength to get out of the pool .

Then you know there will never be a problem if your kid falls into
something.

Its not that simple.

Pools here don't generally have fences.

Only because there are **** all pools there.

Those that are don't have fences, we aren't as pessimistic as you lot.

Nothing to do with pessimistic. The reason you lot
don't have a legal requirement for fencing pools is
because there are **** all backyard pools there.

Fly into Sydney, you will see that most have them here.
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-33..../data=!3m1!1e3

Kids can either swim or aren't stupid enough to go into a pool when they
can't.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something.

If you have kids that go into a pool when they can't swim, they need
removing from the gene er.... pool anyway.

Even you should be able to manage a more viable troll than that.

Obviously not.

garages and parking built on them. Do they use the rear to park, not
likely...

They park out front, usually in a continuous row of near 1/2 mile of
parked vehicles, causing absolute chaos for traffic. Cars usually
manage to somehow get through, but buses really struggle. I have even
regularly seen them incredibly park on both sides of the road, making
it a real struggle for buses, sometimes impossible.

But do the planners try to accept that people like to park out front? No!

I don't understand this parking at the back nonsense. Is this council estates we're talking about? They mostly seem to have been built before the car was invented. They have stupid systems where everyone parks in the middle of a square of houses, but the front doors are on the outside. So a postman walks round the outside to post through the letterboxes on the front doors, which are on a path. But if a courier wants to deliver something, he either has to run 200 yards round the outside of the block from where he parked, or go through their private back garden and knock on the back door, shocking the naked woman who just got out of the shower.

In civilised places like my street, you access the house from the front, where the road is, where the front door with the letterbox is, where the driveway is. The back garden does not have an exit, it borders onto the back garden of the house in the next street, with a fence or hedge to seperate them. Cars do not park on the road apart from buses/taxis/postmen. Your own car lives in your drive or garage where it belongs.

Why don't you have a guide dog? If I was blind there's no way I'd venture outside without assistance. There's only so much that your hearing and a white stick can tell you about your surroundings. How do you avoid stepping in dog **** for example? And I wonder if guide dogs steer the blind around that?

Bah Humbug.

Likewise here, just laziness. There is a busy regular bus route along
the road, at the end of my street. A good half mile of that is occupied
by large detached and semi- detached houses, these share a long access
road at the rear and a have large-ish rear gardens with garages and
parking built on them. Do they use the rear to park, not likely...

Buses are the root cause of most annoyances on the road. They're too slow and too big.

Keep the dog in?

Train the dog instead?

Easier said than done with that. Lot easier to have a gate.

Easier to train a dog than a cat.* I always thought dogs were the
stupidest animals on earth until I got cats.

Nah, cats are intelligent enough to know not to let us know how
intelligent they are. That has to be true if you compare them to dogs.
Dogs can be trained to do what you want, while cats train you to do what

Some are that anal.

Probably.

Some keep the dog in.

A few, but 10 times as many gates here as dogs.

They keep out the dogs of those owners that decide to excercise them off
the lead and thus allow them to run into anyone's garden, **** on the
grass and run out again before the owner even catches up with them.

They also discourage other people's children from using the gardens
during games and damaging plants.

I'm glad I don't live where you do.* But I see gates in nice areas too.

We're in a pretty nice are, but some dog owners are just awful people.
We actually don't have gates (the drive being too short to close them
once the car is in, unless they are illegally opened out, over the
pavement), but there have been a few times that I have wished that we
did. There is always a small percentage of dog owners that will "walk"
their dog by letting it off the lead and strolling along, letting the
dog roam ahead. They are the same sort of owner that let the dog make a
mess on the grass verges and doesn't clean it up, despite many
passengers having to access cars via the verges and being unable to see
what's there in the dark; those that walk the dogs on the playing fields
where people will later be playing football or rugby; or those that have
dogs, but leave them alone all day, barking, whining, fretting and
annoying the neighbours.

I have no complaint at all with the responsible owners, as their dogs
cause no bother to anyone.

Ours is somewhat like that, but my wife's car lives on the road outside.
The driveway is only long enough for one car and access along the side
of the house, while useable for my kit-car or trailer, is too narrow for
everyday use - involving inching though with mirrors folded!

We are lucky, many houses only have access 3' to 4' wide to the back
garden. The houses were built in 1934/35 and cars weren't a consideration.
