my entire office rolled their eyes in unison. i replied with a "hmm-um"
What is your Boss's email address again?

You be you.....live your best life. Never let someone control your emotions. Move on, focus on all the positive in your life. I hear what you’re saying, but just laugh it off.... otherwise every time you see the dock it’s going to fester and ruin your mood. You’re married, living near a lake and are into Porsche’s. You’re winning on all accounts! Enjoy

I moved on in the first page. But this is fun.

Their house was an Airbnd party palace for 2 years before these people moved in so I'm grateful to have them there. When they first moved in they asked if they could use my dock. 2 parents and 3 teenage kids. I'm like "sorry, but no!" I could tell they thought I was being a dick.

I guess my dock looked pretty inviting.

That’s a marine railway.
The cats meow. Keep my boat in the boathouse with it is all safe and sound.

That has nothing to do with Rod getting rid of his table. Notice that this thread is about Rod and his table and his neighbor - not about neighborhood aesthetics.

If I see a free big wooden table in reach of my house
I'll get it either way..

nice wood burns nice in my stove.


You gave it away, for free..
because you wanted it out of your way..
It's out of your way now isn't it?


I really don't see the problem

So renters did this??
I'm sure the owner of the property will be thrilled to deal with the shanty dock structure when they leave.

Your notion to care about the table should be left at the curb with it.

Nice area you're in....I'm close enough to take you up on your visitation offer!

Yep, You're right. Thanksgiving dinner is now sitting in chairs and sofas in front of the TV. Who needs a 4 x 8 table.

I don't go to family dinners anymore because of that. I'm not looking at cousin pin head in his shorts and flip flops.

Tables were helpful at least in that respect.

Yes renters. They really don't care about much. Did I mention they have 4 wheelers? They think they are lawn toys.

Funny thing is the table has built in extensions to make it twice as long and the maroons probably didn't even notice that they could do this.

The story ends here. Hopefully someone doesn’t get hurt hitting the table or skid out on the lake.
