Grrrr!!!!

Okay, sorry but I just have to get this out of my chest.

I live in a townhome and the surrounding area is a common area. We don't have gates or anything so although I do own some land, anybody have access to all the lawn area. For the most part, this doesn't bother me.

My house is one of the end-units, and as such I have bilco doors with outside access the basement. Today, I was inside my house minding my own business when I hear a bunch of loud thumping coming from the outside and reverberating throughout the house. When I checked outside, I saw a bunch of kids catapulting themselves onto my bilco doors.

Now, I would have just told the kids to stop it and that's it. However, this is not the first time that it happened and today, their mothers were just standing there talking to themselves and watching this all happen! Now, I don't know about you all but I was raised to RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY!!!! Granted, it's all open area, but it's still MY HOUSE! How would they feel if I go to their decks and act like I owned them!

I was nice enough and respectfully told them to stop what they were doing and the mothers apologized. But I shouldn't have to do that! They're adults, they should know better!

Here's another thing. Sometimes, when I come home from work I have to wait to park my car IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY because for some reason, the kids like to congregate in my driveway. They have their own driveways, but there must be something special about mine! Often times, the kids goes off to who knows where but they leave their bikes in the middle of my driveway and I have to wait until the mothers realize that I'm actually home and they quickly scramble to retrieve their kids bikes.

Is it too much to expect everyone to have some courtesy, or common sense?!?

Okay, am I overreacting? Am I just being a beotch?

Sorry, just gotta vent. Whew, now I feel better! :0)
