An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

My backyard is on a hill, and the neighbor's kids decided to sled all the way down it, slam into the top of my retaining wall, knock a bunch of shit off (breaking two big terra-cotta planters in the process) all while screeching like banshees. Needless to say, I'm not super happy with them or their parents.

So I hear the commotion, step out the back door, and literally and instinctively yell the thing.

Until they get hurt and the parents sue you

I said the boss move was to make it safe for the kids to play.

Parents suing is hardly a thing outside of the venal littigious shithole of the US. Normal people don't do that.

Nobody ever wants to sue their neighbors. Its an insurance problem.

The kids’ health insurance denies their claims when they find out the injury might be covered by the neighbors homeowners insurance, and their insurance ALSO says go pound sand.

Now you need a court order telling which insurance has to pay.

Like they said, a USA problem.

Fr. Do something nice like duct tape crash pads to a wall, then suddenly you're liable for kids trying to crash hard enough into it to get concussions or spinal compression

0/10, not worth
