When family of my other half dictates our life and tries to destroy it. Why does the 'in laws' try to do this?

people that are too lazy and inconsiderate to clean off their cars instead of the bare minimum for them to see. Then when they get up to a decent speed, the snow flies off their car and lands on my windshield... If it were legal to shoot stupid people we wouldn't have a problem with world hunger... (less people)

^ This is so true. People down here in Pueblo DON'T know how to do that. It's hazarderous the way people drive when snow hits. Like they've never seen it before.

I love passing frightened SUV drivers in my Miata in the snow. Just went out and did some drifting on the way to Burger King, hehe.

Yep. I always wipe off the top of the car too, along with the hood. I pretty much just get all the loose snow off the whole car. The funny thing is if they don't clean the hood off it blows back on their own windshield anyway LOL. But you still see it all the time.

That's more why I clear off the car, not as a courtesy to other drivers. The snow on the roof likes to fall down and block the back window too, so I just clear it all off so I can see.

the son of a b*tsch who walks his 2 white poodles OFF-LEASH and let's them run across/play in my yard (+every yard on the block) every day. I don't have any dogs and I find f*ing turds in my lawn. I'm very close to doing/saying something to him, or telling animal control to do something... ugh!

I can't prove that his dogs are the turdburglers, but either way, i just don't want any dogs in my yard, period. my side of the block is also elevated 12+ feet from the sidewalk, so the owner isn't near even near them when he walks them, they are up top, he's down on the sidewalk...

Animal control. He will get ticketed for them not being on leashes.

If i ever see his dog actually doing it i totally will... i can't prove if it's his dogs or the many other neighbors' dogs that they let run around....

Put a video camera up and see if you can catch them doing it. Forget putting it on their lawn, put it on their doorstep or smear it on their windows, then leave a note (written in the excrement preferably) that they need to keep the crap on their own lawn. LOL

Sometimes you have to get a message across to people.

I've thought about doing that with the neighbor kids who always walk through my yard instead of using the sidewalk. Can I smear the kids on the neighbor's windows?

That's something that really grinds my gears. No respect for other people's property. I would have never dreamed of walking through a neighbor's yard when I was a kid. (And yes I'm fully aware that I sound like a bitter old man)
