This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My neighbor puts away his outdoor decorations every day (sh.itjust.works)

Every day at about 5pm he puts out holiday decorations (right now Halloween, but same idea for Christmas later in the year), then at about 9:30pm (~4.5 hours later) he brings them in the garage.

Every.. single.. day. Same schedule.

We're talking multiple lawn inflatables, led lights, and other misc decorations.

I've never seen anyone else do this before (especially every day).

Is this a normal thing for others?

I guess this is possible, though we live in a pretty safe, gated community in a low-crime city.

I’ve lived in a few gated communities. Those gates are a joke. The pizza place I once worked had a sheet with bypass codes to like every neighborhood lol

Or you just wait until someone else goes in and follow.

I was a cable guy in Tulsa, OK. Those people are nuts for gates, never been anywhere like it. Yeah, I could get in anywhere.

There was one hood where the security guard chased me, on foot, to my customer's house. :) When I was leaving, I could see through another house's backyard to the Circle-K parking lot. Not even a chain link fence, just walk in.

The only gated community I thought was actually fully secured was my parents place on a small island near port Isabell. The whole island was a single 55+ gated community (before spacex came around anyway”

The guard gate was on the draw bridge.
