To find pavement chalking by neighbour unreasonable?

[Hanji83]

We are in a row of houses which have a footpath running in front of the road with a grassed area either side. One of the neighbours has two kids, who for the past week have been drawing on the pavement using chalk. It looks an utter mess. Would it be wrong of me to say something to the parents?

FFS

Yes.

Yes

Did you never draw with chalk on pavements as a child?

Its totally harmless

Lighten up OP.

If chalk is a typo for spray paint then yanbu, if its just chalk you need to get a grip.

You couldn’t be more wrong here… please get over yourself and let those kids have fun.

Is this a reverse?

Pavement chalk is joyful and temporary.

Complaining will not make you popular on the street. My suggestion is to get some chalk and make some designs of your own.

... its... chalk? It will pias it down in a few weeks and be gone anyway

I was going to ask that too

This is a reverse, right?

Get over yourself (or stop doing reverses)

Oh no Chalk! Whatever next? Little piles of flour?

You miserable bugger 😂 are you also called ebenezer?

OMFG its going to chuck down for days any day now and it will all be erased. Let them have a last bit of summer fun.

Ok, clearly there’s a strong disagreement. No it’s not a reverse. It does look a mess. But clearly I’m being harsh so I won’t approach my neighbour or argue with everyone on here.

Oh for goodness sake get the kids a fucking iPad, what is the world coming to

Looks a mess to you. Looks like a wonderful innocent childhood to all the kids.

Plus I don't think you own the path.

Someone else complained about that on here the other day too 😂

Love seeing kids pictures on the pavements, rainbows and flowers mostly around here. All gone in a day or two.

You're being ridiculous @Hanji83

It doesn’t look a mess, it looks like kids have been playing on the pavement with chalk.

Or… or… weeeds!! 😱😱 where is the TRIGGER warning @Hanji83 ?!!!

It does look a mess

So what?

Can't win honestly.

Send those kids outside ! Literally complaints about them so much as breathing

Send those kids inside! Oh FFS you ipad parents.

We used to do this all the time as kids! Mine do it in our back garden as we have lots of slabs there and they are still little so it’s safer than out the front; but I would love to see kids’ chalk drawings on the pavement outside our house! Nostalgic!
