This post is in honor of Amanda's post about things that annoyed her in one hour. Mine is a little different because It's a post about how much I am annoyed by JOCO and it's pretty much an on going process, not just an hour.
1. Darren and I don't mow our lawn much (on average once every two weeks--usually longer), so you'd think when we finally got around to it that the neighbors wouldn't come over and criticize...you'd be wrong. "Could you please not cut your grass so short? It just kills it." Um, maybe that was my plan so I don't have to EVER MOW AGAIN.
2. Same Person--"Do you mind if I mow your side yard when I do mine? My wife and I are trying to sell our house and it just looks better if it's all uniform." Of course I don't mind if you mow my side yard, however that doesn't mean I'm going to mow my other side yard or front yard any more frequently...not to mention chop down the forest that is growing in the middle of the front yard (damn stump causes weeds to grow 10 feet high!). Good luck selling your house, though!
3. The night of my birthday party Darren called me over to the front window...do you know what I spied with my little eye when I got there?? A horde of neighbors standing in a yard a few houses down pointing at all the cars parked ON THE PUBLIC STREET! Jesus people, get a life!
4. Mothers in JOCO who don't have to work and have nothing better to do than go to the gym or make more babies and then go to "Baby and Me" classes. Enough said.
5. People in the JO who work all week and then get up early on Sunday to do yard work or vacuum their cars. Of course Sunday is the one day I get to sleep in after working two doubles in a row.
6. Wal*Mart. I don't really think this is only a JOCO thing, but when I go into Wal*Mart on the KCK side, at least I know what I'm getting in to. It really annoys me when people saunter in with their Vision card to pay for food for their ragamuffins and then pay cash for their smokes and booze (did I mention I usually go to the Olathe Wal*Mart? How can people afford to be on welfare and live in Olathe??)
7. JOCO Mothers who drive huge SUVs but can't really 'drive' them. What makes you think that you can drive a huge vehicle that you can't control and endanger me in my tiny car? Jackass.
8. See above--It also annoys me that you drive a car that gets 4mpg which causes gas prices to go up because you'll pay any price for gas, even $7 a gallon. Thanks for screwing over the poor man.
I'm going to wrap this up because Darren is wondering how much longer I'll be, but rest assured that my list of complaints is much longer than this. I, like Amanda, hate living with/near stupid people.

This is why I would rather sell my soul then live in Johnson County. Let's hope I never have to do so.
When gas prices got to $3 a gallon, I flat out told my neighbors that I wouldn't mow more than once a week. (My neighbors mow every 4 -5 days) If it rains on that day, I wait another day or so before mowing.
Gas prices are too expensive to be so vain.
On another note, the longer the grass grows, the less weeds you'll have. (grass chokes weeds...)
There are also the women in the minivan who drive around my neighborhood during morning rush hour. They drive about one or two miles below the speed limit. Uh, excuse me, but I have to get to work!
Ditto Nicole. Not ever moving to JoCo. Or WyCo. I'd rather shoot myself than live in the 'burbs or the 'hood. Well, ever again on the 'hood part. :x
