All of you are strange. Just speak up and say "in use" or "in here." Or better yet, just rip a big ole fart.

I always clean up, however, like Dak stated, not every single blade of grass.
Most cities, you will get a couple warnings before you get an official ticket.
In the end, if you ignore those warnings and let your grass go unattended, the city will come out and cut it and send the homeowner a ticket.
But I know, when I was in Cleveland, it takes a while before it ever gets to that point where the city comes out and cuts.
And I lived in a regular neighborhood with no HOA or anything like that.
I would ignore it as I am sure you can call and ask the city what the protocol is and tell them you are asking due to an anal neighbor.

Then you always have that split second panic that maybe it's the cleaning lady, and she's gonna use the master key and barge in on you.
Had this almost happen to me last week.
School just let out.
I had to take a big ole shit and it was before baseball practice.
I was sitting on the shitter and I hear a knock.
I say, I am in here.
The door handle jiggles again and I say again, I am in here.
Then I hear a key start to enter....
I stand up and knock on the door really loud.
It was the cleaning lady, who had headphones in.
She finally heard me knock and said, I am sorry.
When I came out, I told her, sorry, but I said twice I was in there.
She apologized again and said she learned her lesson about having headphones in when going into a bathroom and will just wear them going into classrooms and such going forward.

Couldn't you just put your hand on the door so they couldn't enter in the event they had headphones on?

No, the bathroom is big enough that you have to take 2 steps to get to the door.
No way I was letting her walk in.

This will be replacing the Mrs. car.
Assuming it is delivered late 2017 but I am going to say it will be sometime in 2018 at this point for a good guess. I am majorly drinking the Tesla Kool Aid after doing a ton of research and learning more about the product. It's rather amazing.

It will be close that's for sure but even without it there is no stopping the Tesla hype train in the Nasty household.
Everything that car does, Tesla will do it better by the time that car is released let alone it already does most of what that car does. And looks a million times better in doing it
In Elon we trust.

Telsa's a great company in seeing the bigger picture opening their patents when it comes to EVs but they lose lots of money and by the time they scale up to be profitable there's gonna be a lot more competition and no battery advantage for them anymore. But who knows hopefully they keep on trucking!

I agree and this new release is going to set the precedent for multiple manufacturers offering a $35-40k vehicle that is electric, has auto driving capabilities, and is setting the trend for future possibilities in the section.
Others will get on it shortly afterwards but Tesla seems to stand head and shoulders above the others at this point in terms of design but also much more expensive...until the 3
