ANYONE, ANYONE?

So, who else is pissed off that seemingly anyone and everyone can, at their convenience, come into your private property and paint your grass, sidewalks, or driveways, and put little flags all over the yard for you to mow around?

I understand that there are easements, and that people don't own the property that is in the right of way along a street and such. Still, it really peeves me that every time someone wants to do any sort of digging, for any purpose, in come the assholes with the spray paint and the flags to make your neighborhood look like a ghetto covered with graffiti. If that's not bad enough, no one ever comes back to remove the flags, and the paint must be better than any paint you can buy in a store because it seems to last forever.

Why the fuck do they need both the paint and the flags anyway? If you can't see the fucking flags, you're sure as hell not going to see the painted grass that stays that way for at least the rest of the growing season.

They should be required to come back and remove all paint and flags once whatever job called for them in the first place is completed. I won't mow around the fucking flags if there is also paint on the grass. Fuck 'em. If I can see the paint, so can they.

Shit! Even with all these flags and paint, not a day goes by that some contractor or utility company doesn't cut into a gas line, or sever an fiber-optic cable, or spring a gigantic leak in a water main. What the fuck!?!?!?!?

I'd like to find the owner or head of the gas company, the electric company, the telephone company, the cable company, and the water and sewer works, and go paint the fuck all over their property (which is probably a lot nicer-looking than mine) and stab about 500 fucking flags all over their yards and see how they like it.
