I'm just wondering. Is it illegial to paint someone's house number on the
street curb if you don't have permission? There are a few really bad houses
that have no discernable numbers on them. What if, after delivering to the
house and discovering the number, you go back sometime later and paint the
number on the street curb? I mean, without charging them. A nice big
black-on-white display is wonderful. Would that be problematic?

This is a re-post from APDD, RE: Customer lies; A WebTV Response on 06 APR
99

In the area where I used to live there was a Parish ordinance that prevented
people from marking the curb with lot or house numbers. These crews would
come in and put flyers on doors saying that they would be in the area at
such and such a date and time. Put $5.00 in the bag and hang the bag on the
door knob along with the address information, and they would paint it while
you weren't home. It seemed like a scam but they ACTUALLY did the curb
painting. Kicker was a few weeks after they moved on, Code Enforcement
would come out, sand blast or whatever the numbers off the curb and issue
the homeowner a $25.00 fine! It was a little known ordinance, kinda like
spitting on the sidewalk, but strictly enforced.

Ya! Far be it for Joe "I just want to be an asshole loser troll" Honest to
actually try and make our job a little easier. Heh. Fuck you. I'm all for
drivers painting the house number on if it's not already on there. However,
I would suggest something a little more direct. Here's the situation.

Okay. You go up to the door after taking an extra 5 minutes to find them
because noone on the block has the number on their house. YOu get done with
the transaction and simply tell the customer "I'm sorry, but absolutely
noone on this block has thier number painted on the curb or on their house.
Because of that, I'm going to have to do it for you." Then you take out a
can of white spray paint and walk over to their garage. Then you paint the
numbers on their garage door in approximately 5 foot numbers. Then tell the
customer to have a great day and leave.

What do y'all think? Will it work?

It's raining free clues:

1- It is not "your" curb.

2- I would *love* for you to say that to my face, because

3- I would not fit in a pinto, and it's not because I have a weight problem.

4- If you think our pizza is "shitty", maybe you shouldn't order it.

Hey Bob! Get a grip and read the second sentence of Ihate's post. "Is it
illegal to paint someone's house number on the street curb if you don't have
permission?". This is what we call a question.

What I did was answer him by telling him that in the area I used to live, it
WAS illegal to paint numbers on the curb, even if you were the homeowner.
I'm sure that if some of the people that post here are interested (Ihate
must be or he would not have asked), they can check local ordinances or laws
or whatever and decide if it is legal.

This is what we call sharing information. With responses like the one
above, I doubt that anyone will want to share with you when the time comes.

Hey Joe!

I think I recognize you, from an old Charles Bronson movie, well not
you,
but your momma. Some freakin' losers were saying something about wanting
to spray paint her ass red. Bring back any memories for you?

In that case, we should use pizza sauce. :) Make sure it's a hot dry day so
it cakes on real well.

You had me laughing for a while until reality set it. No, it won't work. The
next time that stupid bafoon customer orders a pizza, he/she will have the
garage door rolled up. It's the same as people who have the number on the
front door. When they order pizza, they leave the front door wide open.
Haha--can't see the numbers. I dare you to find my house.

My favorite is the people with the number on the front door and a nice
decorative wreath or some other crafty shit to block the number oh so well.

hahahaha The worst I've found is people in Apartments. Most apartments have
the number on the door, and they always put the big ol' wreaths or whatever
directly over the number. It almost seems like they do it on purpose.

I think maybe I should go back around 4 in the morning and take the damn
thing, cut it into about 1000 pieces, and burn it on their porch. Hmmm....
Maybe I had better wear a ski mask. :)

You should release the grip your hand has on your dick, Bob. It's not only
causing hair to grow on your hands AND making your pecker turn blue, but
it's affecting your reading and comprehension as well.

You wrote on 06 APR 99 (this thread)>>>"How about encouraging the Boy Scouts
or other local group to do a fund-raiser by painting house numbers, and have
the store reward the group with free pizza? You could even have the group
distributing
coupons to the people whose curbs are being painted, explaining that
the numbers on the curb (and an appropriate tip) will guarantee fresh,
hot pizza every time."

To which I requoted my little deal about it being illegal in Jefferson
Parish to paint numbers on the curb (this thread)>>>snipped"...It seemed


like a scam but they ACTUALLY did the curb painting. Kicker was a few weeks
after they moved on, Code Enforcement would come out, sand blast or whatever

Why don't you get to the point, Bob??? It wasn't bull shit the first time
it was posted on the earlier thread (Customer lies; A WebTV Response on 06
APR 99). It wasn't bull shit when it was posted in this thread. That's
because I was answering Ihatebubba when he asked on 06 APR 99 (this
thread)>>>Is it illegal to paint someone's house number on the street curb


if you don't have permission?

Face it Bob, you can't dance here. Lurker roasted your ass with facts about
ASDL or ISDN or whatever the hell you two were talking about. I just
roasted your ass here. When it's THIS easy, it ain't even a fun challenge.

A friend of mine once had the idea of donning a ski mask, walking into 7-
11, and buying a candy bar. AFAIK, he never did it.

No shit...of course I know some of the people that post here are not from my
area. However, some of your more "enlightened" areas do have laws that may
be similar to the laws that are on the books down here. Gee, think of that.
One state have similar laws to another! Hard to fathom for you Bob?
Thought so.

I could give a shit about points, Bob. Especially with you. I sometimes
agree with the points you make, sometimes I do not. Oh well. But if you
think I need to make points at your expense, you're giving yourself to much
credit. Way to much credit. Besides, Bob, if I did score points against
you they wouldn't be counted anyway. To easy.

Oh, and one more thing, Bob...what in the hell does your post (the one I'm
responding to) have to do with your last post? Something about "marginally
relevant". I proved that my post was relevant for both threads, yet you do
not address this fact? You are "marginally relevant", Bob.

he told us to be careful because food cost was high! I coulda died laughing!

In some cases, your friend could go to jail for that! Kinda like "joking"
about a hijacking on a plane. Walk to flight attendant with ski mask on,
say "HI JACK!! Oh wait your name is steve".... I remember a scene from
Airplane! where a couple saw someone they knew named Jack, and they
said, "OH HI JACK!" and were tackled by airport security/police. I would
think a place such as California would be the first to have such a law.
In a lot of places, he would have been shot by the clerk LEGALLY. Tenn.
has concealed carry permits, and just changed their "Shoot The Burglar"
law. Here, you are no longer required to drag the dead burglar inside
before calling the cops! On halloween, a lot of stores have "NO MASKS!"
signs on their doors. If someone came into a store where I was working
with a ski mask on - i'd hit the robbery button. Especially in California,
unless it was Lake Tahoe or something ;)
