OP: steal some janitor's yellow wet floor signs, and graciously place them in front of your house as a warning.

Man, a stupid post like that in the OP is worthy of starting a P&N level flame war.

wtf is a hydro bill?

not everyone on the internet lives in your town.

Electricity bill? I figured this was fairly common knowledge. "Hydro" in that context tends to mean electricity, as it is traditionally produced by hydro electric dams. Hence why most Hydro companies have the word Hydro in their name. :p

I figured that hydro meant that but that is far from the case here. We make energy from the tears of unicorns and kittens.

If there is only a little black ice on the sidewalks its time to pour water on them again. Quit slacking!

Finally someone with the correct answer. Just ensure your sidewalk is always covered in ice and they will avoid your house, problem solved.

That was my HS experience. Out the door by 0530 to catch the bus. Riding my bike cut the travel time by 2/3rds but was hard to do in rain and snow.
Long ride to school or did you start early? It was a long time ago but i don't think school started before 8am. I'll ask one of my coworkers. His kids go to the same school i went to.

Well, probably most people where I live wouldn't have a clue what it means either, but what with the WWW being over the legal drinking age everywhere in the world (where drinking is legal at all, anyway), I would've thought that had become pretty common knowledge, too, at least among Internet habitués, but as to
as it is traditionally produced by hydro electric dams.
no, not really. Only in some places. In an awful lot of others, it's produced by the good old-fashioned burning of fossil fuels and/or the less old-fashioned-but-by-now-solidly-traditional fissioning of fissionable heavy metals.;)

I know what it means. I'm internet bullying you. :D

But no one in America calls it hydro. Not that I know of, anyway. Besides, we use our water for drinking, pissing in, dumping industrial waste in, and setting on fire.

You could always simply unsubscribe from this facebook page if it bothers you but then again this would be the easy way out I guess.

Well the first line in the OP did note that there was still value to it

Some of the schools around here start pretty early. One HS early enough that they have First "Lunch" at 9:40am

place marked for 8:00AM or later...assuming the thread didn't die over night.
Are your neighbors too stupid to realize they live in MI and it's fucking cold? And I thought the S.C. education system sucked.

Tell em I said to move to FL...next to boomerang.:D

In my fair city, students middle school and up used the regular city bus service, no school buses. My family lived in a suburb that got in a pissing match with the mother city over bus service so service was very limited. The bus route near my house only ran on the hour so either I would get to school very early or late. The distance via bicycle was seven miles each way. The bus route distance was closer to twenty miles.
