  • Shut Up!!!

    There are a bunch of idiots screaming and cheering and wooing and clapping somewhere near my apartment. A big group of them. I'm on the 8th floor, so they are being LOUD for me to be able to hear it in bed with the patio door closed and the curtains pulled. It's been going on for at least a half an hour. And it's eight o' fucking clock in the morning on a Sunday. I bet they are some stupid-ass arm-waving Jesus freaks or something. Who the hell else can get that excited on a Sunday morning? What the hell?!?!?!

    Those bastards. I'd like to go down there and give them all bloody noses. (I originally typed "nooses". Freudian slip? Yes. Yes, it was.)

    UPDATE: It wasn't Christianity enthusiasts. It was the one thing more annoying than that: marathon runners. Today is apparently the Denver Marathon, and there have been 10,000 assholes making noise outside since 7am. The whole damn city is blocked off so they can enjoy "a scenic route past many of Denver's major landmarks".

    Wtf. I went out to get some breakfast, and it took me 45 minutes to get to a place about 2 miles away, and then another 50 minutes to find a way home. I was trapped in my own city! Cars were lined up all over the place, going down narrow streets only to find them blocked, using alleys to sneak through and then having to back all the way out again; people were arguing with cops, arguing with each other, getting into wrecks, etc. It's a fucking MESS out there, and I'm furious at how this was handled. If you live in capitol hill, there was literally NO way to leave the city without driving through the marathon route around the runners and risk getting caught and ticketed or arrested. Fuck fuckity fuckfuckfuck.

    P.S. I don't mind the marathon, exactly. I mind the fact that it started so early on a Sunday, and worst of all, that there were no clear exit routes for cars ANYWHERE. It was piss poor planning.

    P.P.S. Why do they have to scream and shout and clap?!? There is something seriously wrong with people who get up at ass o'clock in the morning, put on spandex, and run around outside yelling "woo!!!!".

  • My lovely neighbors once woke me up at 7am on a Sunday with a freakin Mariachi band in their yard (usually its just really LOUD mexican music). I don't mind a band but who the hell parties it up at 7am!

  • @comet555 - I'd almost prefer people who partied UNTIL 7am, not people who STARTED partying at 7am. Lol.

  • Bad news: marathon runners have more stake in when a marathon happens then some grouchy 70 year old woman who stayed up too late knitting sweaters for her cat and doing crossword puzzles.  THIS MEANS YOU, YOU ARE THAT GROUCHY OLD WOMAN!!!!

    I require sweaters and booties for my imaginary dog post haste.

    Also: As a resident of boulder (of Bolder Boulder fame) I feel your pain.  I once ignorantly tried to cross the street and spent 5 green lights trying to get across the idiot traffic wave.  Fail failf ail fail failfailfailfialfialfiafli.

    Maybe next year randomly toss waterballoons filled with piss onto the crowds.
