This is kind of indirectly a spinoff topic of the "why are people always intimidated by me," with people always assuming I'm up to no good, butfor like the 4th time this week, today I catch the Neighborhood Watch people just parked in front of my house chilling, and I could've sworn they had anotepad and were taking notes.
Some background on my neighborhood; It's something like 240-300 houses, ranging in size from the older side of the neighborhood only about 2100sq ft to ourhouse which is actually horribly out of place but 5000+ not counting the separate 2car garage plus dormer in the backyard, and about 5,000sq ft on the new wingof the neighborhood. Race demographics, it's more non white than white, people of various occupations. The most common seems to be Military and retirees,there's quite a few teachers, a doctor lives down the street (he's Middle Eastern, wife is Mexican, daughter is
), guy who used to play football for OU and played some pro somewhere who nowsells auto insurance (don't laugh, he drives 3 mean Mercedes'). City demographics are about the same, approximately 50% black, yet "still" atop 150 safest city in America. So the relevance of all of that is, seems like you don't even need a Neighborhood Watch, much less in this neighborhood northe need for profiling.
Our neighborhood watch has meetings every Tuesday and alternate days, someone gets the sign, slaps it on their own car, and drives around... or just watches myhouse. The 2 cars that do it are a white Toyota Prius, a guy who ironically was my english Comp 2 Professor but most not remember me, and a lady in a blue vanwho is the one who seems to be even keeping notes.
It's hilarious, but I wonder if anyone on NT has the same problem. My caddy corner neighbors are even worst about it. Dude literally will not be outside ifI am, literally. You think it's probably coincidence that whenever I come out, they have to go in, but after like 8 yrs of it? I could literally impacttheir lives if I wanted to, like if I came outside early in the morning, he wouldn't go to work, probably would call in or something.
