Advice to those who are thinking of relocating to Phoenix: don't. The people here are the most self-centered jerks you could ever hope to avoid meeting. They don't give a damn about other people's property, they'll walk across your yard, use your garden hose to wash their car, leave crack pipes and other litter on your lawn, even hang around on your front yard like it's a public park!
All of the above has happened to me. But today something happened that has really ticked me off.
Some stole my roses.
That's right. I had beautiful, large, fragrant blooms on my rosebushes in the front. Today, I find several snapped branches where my roses used to be.
No damned respect for other people's property. I know I sound like an old codger, but my mother would've tanned my backside and sent me to apologize to the neighbor if I'd ever done that.
I feel slightly better now. Thank you for letting me rant.
