Here’s a helpful form if you’d like to get started complaining on NextDoor but can’t find the right words:
———
To the (adjective) man who accosted me while I was walking with my (noun) today around (time of day):
I cannot believe the audacity you had to approach me in such a (adjective) manner. I was simply (gerund, activity) with my (concrete noun, singular or plural) when you (transitive verb, past tense) me with your (adjective) tone and (adjective) words. It was so (adjective) that I felt (adjective) about the whole situation.
I am (adverb) outraged by your behavior and I demand an (adjective) apology! This kind of (adjective) behavior is unacceptable in our (adjective) community and I expect better from my neighbors. If this kind of thing happens again, I will not hesitate to (verb) the proper authorities. I deserve to feel (adjective) in my own neighborhood!!!
I'm so glad you recognize that women would never engage in offensive behaviors in THIS county. It follows logically that only women would avail themselves of your complaint form. So then I suggest that you substitute "disappointed in" for "outraged by". (I am not leaving out non-binary folx; I believe that they just do not have these gender-specific language issues.)
There IS no force strong or malicious enough, in this Universe or any other, to outsmart bermuda grass! Like mosquitoes, it has come here from some omnipotent source we will never comprehend. The bright side is that you can live somewhere brutally cold where skeeters and crab grass are too frigid to bother with you.

So funny. As a rising senior though, must say we do not sit for hours but move briskly among the tech heads who don’t actually have tables at home
Oh, let them drink tea.
What’s wrong with regular coffee?? 😆

Didn't know Peet's closed. Can I still buy its coffee at Costco?
