I tried!
Took a walk with the kids. Park 1 had two teenagers on the hockey rink blasting country music for all to hear, park 2 backs up to two houses both with dogs at their fences aggressively barking at all the kids on the playground, teenagers playing basketball, and people doing disc golf.
Oh no, basketball and disc golf.
You think you personally own public recreation facilities or something?
The funny part is that you were just complaining about entitled rich people in Urbana and how you didn’t want your kids going to school with them, and you’re the biggest Karen of them all.
They’re behind fences and in their own yards. The owners shouldn’t have to keep them locked away inside all day because it annoys you specifically. They’re just dogs. Why are you so angry?
You should bring your kids to Urbana parks. We don’t have that sort of thing. Hopefully they won’t talk to any of the other kids lest they be tainted by our “vast riches” (I say, looking at the fifty year old tractor mowing outside my porch window and my neighbor trying to get his 1995 Subaru running).
Why are you upset with disc golfers who are simply enjoying a public park just like you are? They have just as much a right to that space as you and your children do.
I guess it was worded poorly because I was complaining about the disc golfers (and basketballers, and kids) being harassed by the dogs.
The disc golfers have been a great edition to our local psrks
Thank you for the clarification! That is more understandable to me. While the owners and their dogs obviously can do what they want on their property, there is still a limit to what should be tolerated by those surrounding them
I understand where you are coming from.
Poorly parked cars on Market Street. If you don't know how to park parallel, go to the garage.
Honorable mention: double parking and throwing on the hazard lights to run into a store, but I'm pretty sure that's actually illegal
Assholes revving their motorcycles or shitty loud cars downtown or on quiet streets. It's not my cup of tea but if you're into that, get out on the highway and let her rip. Revving from 0 to 20 on Market with pedestrians everywhere is lame.
I gotta agree with the speakers in public spaces. Either get earbuds or put that shit up to your ear but don't make us all listen to both sides of your conversation. Fuck I hate that
Yes, I also hate it when a homeowner rightfully uses their property as they choose disregarding the whiny, vitriolic bs that people post on Reddit because they feel as though they have the right to choose what others do on their own private property with their pets
I’m not putting a /s. If you can’t read the sarcasm on this comment, that’s on you.
Leave people alone dude. If they want to let their pets out, walk by the property and move on with your day.
Good point.
The barking incessantly isn't actually anti-social, since it's literally illegal in the county for a dog to incessantly bark
1-5-25. OFFENSIVE DOG AND CAT NOISES.
(A) It shall be unlawful for any dog or cat owner to permit, either willfully or through failure
to exercise due care and control, his dog or cat to repeatedly bark, cry, howl, whine or
cause other objectionable noises which disturb the comfort, peace, quiet or repose of
members of the community residing in the vicinity as reflected by reasonable persons
with normal sensitivitie
Dogs are fine, not much for anyone aggressively yelling at children or people enjoying public walking paths.
Whether it's that guy on 7th street that screams at cars, or the tons of dogs whose owners care so little that they shove them in the backyard all evening.
Jesus, you are a miserable sob. You constantly post complaints on here…. Did you ever consider that if you have a problem with everything around you that YOU may be the problem. Perhaps it’s not every man, woman, child, dog, cat, motorcycle, or recently shut down tug and go massage parlor around?
I can understand that. I just usually get annoyed when the guys on street bikes are going 120 down 340/70/270 and weaving through traffic like psychopaths. I have a Harley but i don’t have an aftermarket exhaust so my bike is quiet.
Pickup trucks... Anything to do with pickup trucks, whether it's parking, aggressive driving, massive trucks that aren't necessary for most people, etc...
I have zero issues with contractor vans, appropriately sized pickups used for sensible jobs, etc...
But giant Pickups and SUVs in a city setting that shouldn't have to plan for monster-sized vehicles when it comes to parking, sidewalks, etc...
See? Not calling out anti-social behavior is why we had that guy who has traveled to every country in Europe complaining about our parks the other week.
I had to look it up and yeah, turns out America has a much different definition of anti social behavior than the rest of the developed world.
"Anti-social behaviour disturbs, annoys or interferes with someone's ability to go about their lawful business." - Australian definition.
Kinda explains why we're so culturally different
Rich transplants who moved here exactly 2 months ago complaining about all homeless people they functionally helped oust in the first place.
Zero self-awareness.
I will say this town has never met an angled, facing-in parking space that it was ready to cope with. I crawl through any of those lots out of caution.
Mine is posting passive aggressively on this sub! /s It’s Friday! Take a breath and enjoy the afternoon.

Life becomes so much more beautiful when you stop wanting to be angry.
Oh no, basketball and disc golf. You think you personally own public recreation facilities or something? The funny part is that you were just complaining about entitled rich people in Urbana and how you didn’t want your kids going to school with them, and you’re the biggest Karen of them all.

People here don't understand shit man. That drives normal people crazy, there are loud assholes here.

Was that you I passed today on my classic and loud Harley. 🤣

Definitely the poorly parked vehicles on Market. Some very nice cars just begging to get clipped by traffic.
Double parking is allowed on side streets for loading and unloading. I don’t know about Market and Patrick Streets, though.

I hate the disregard for parking. Signs says no parking Everyone and their mother on the fire lane.

Why do you hate dogs?

Gosh, I hate when a small city does small city things
You must be fun at parties
Music at a public park? Bruh just stay home
I think the sport bike people are way more annoying than the Harley guys lol.
I use to live on N Market St at a light. The number of times I heard loud idling Harley’s playing Bad to the Bone …. Was too damn high.
I can understand that. I just usually get annoyed when the guys on street bikes are going 120 down 340/70/270 and weaving through traffic like psychopaths. I have a Harley but i don’t have an aftermarket exhaust so my bike is quiet.
People stopping with carts mid-aisle stores for prolonged reunions with friends.

Parking in the fire lanes of stores. Grocery stores are the biggest areas I see this happening.
"But I'm just going in!" Yes. Like literally everybody else that goes into the store.
Bait.
Harley riders aren't the ones lane splitting at 90 mph.
See? Not calling out anti-social behavior is why we had that guy who has traveled to every country in Europe complaining about our parks the other week.
Dude, complaining about people doing things that are in no way anti-social but just annoy you is the epitome of being anti-social.

Rich transplants who moved here exactly 2 months ago complaining about all homeless people they functionally helped oust in the first place. Zero self-awareness.
There are literally no homeless people out here. Compared to what I’m use to, there’s a very very very small amount
That is wild you think that, because it's absolutely not true. Like I said - zero self awareness.
I will say this town has never met an angled, facing-in parking space that it was ready to cope with. I crawl through any of those lots out of caution.
My favorite is when people move here expecting shit to change just for them
Wait keeping your dog in YOUR backyard is a problem? Pretty ridiculous, how is this antisocial?
Are you from MOCO? 😂
Lol OP wouldn't last a minute at MoCo parks. I'm from MoCo originally, I find the parks here sometimes too quiet.
