. We had a wind storm last night. Yesterday was 72 and the transformers were blowing out, same

[debm55]

with the electricity. Last night got worse. Very heavy winds. Garbage cans, boxes, etc. in the street. No one hurt. BUT my maga neighbor's tRump flag flew off of his porch and landed in our front yard. Question--should I give it back or throw it away? He has had this tRump flag up for 2 years. I waited for this to happen, and now it has.
It was a TRUMP flag--Don't blame me ,I voted for Trump

[EarthFirst]

1. What flag...

[debm55]

2. A Trump flag stating Don't Blame me, I voted for Trump, The wind blew it if off his front porch

into our front yard.

[EarthFirst]

3. Haven't seen it...

[debm55]

6. Would you give it back to him? Or would you throw it away?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. The poster's implication is that you should toss it and make like you never seen it (nt)

[debm55]

10. Oh thanks Hugh, Duh on me.

It could have ended like Who's on First?

[allegorical oracle]

5. Would be a shame if it caught on fire.... nt

[debm55]

26. I'm so sorry I misunderstood you, EarthFirst.

[JohnQFunk]

4. Get latex gloves & bleach. Incinerate the thing. Likely biohazard!

Better safe than sorry.

[Hope22]

7. Wishes do come true! But....that's a true dilemma....

If goddess wanted it up she would have spared the flag. On the other hand when they go low we go high. I’m gonna let you choose but as horrible as this sounds if this landed in our yard someone would probably wipe their rear end with it before returning it. I just asked my friend what he would do and he said he would buy a ‘Trump Lost’ flag and have it delivered. 😂😂

[debm55]

28. That's funny.

[Jerry2144]

9. Do you have any puppies

Who need House breaking? Be a good target for them to use

[world wide wally]

11. Get some white spraypaint and paint the word "Fuck" above the name

Then give it back, of course.

[chowder66]

12. I would put it back in his yard.

[debm55]

14. Chowder, the better part of me would give it back if the guy was not such an a-hole.

[chowder66]

23. I'd be tempted to do the same but do you think he will be less of an asshole if you put it back?

I think it's best to show people that you can be considerate even if they are not.

[debm55]

25. I put it on his property-half on the street, half in the yard. Sometimes I get tired on being the

doormat to certain people. I didn't put it on the porch, where my baby gift still sits. He can get his skinny ass down to pick it up. Sorry, but this is a person who laughed at my dog Dolly and said his German Shepherd could "chew the shit out of my dog"

[chowder66]

34. That sounds like a good compromise.

And I hear ya about being a doormat. I have to dig deep to pull out my patience at times.
I'm sorry that you have to live next to that jerk.

[Hope22]

30. Any interaction with him puts one in danger.

Consideration means nothing to them. My MAGA sister would take the flag in hand and then immediately say something to make you very sorry that you tried to be considerate. Drop the flag at the police department and let them deal with it. Do not engage.

[chowder66]

35. I recommended that it be put back in his yard. No interaction.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. Just give it back. nt

[debm55]

15. It's still in my yard. I haven't moved it. He was out cutting his grass. He is very young and told

us to stop looking at his house. Last month, when his wife had their little girl, I bought the baby a gift and took it over. He told me they didn't want my trash. I left it on the patio furniture, and came back crying. I am leaning towards having him coming over and get it.

[Hekate]

18. Okey dokey, that's all I need to know. That flag was never in your yard, & you just cleaned up ...

…some post-storm trash in your yard. Terrible about those windstorms — they deposit all kinds of garbage all over the place.

What an absolute jerk that man is.

[JanLip]

20. At first

I was gonna say give it back and then I read your post about the baby gift and what he said to you. So now if it was me I would step on it and walk all over it. Smear mud or whatever 💩 comes to mind then wait till dark and throw it back in his yard. He sounds like an a**hole. Sorry you have him for a neighbor.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

16. does he have a camera that would catch the culprit who trashed the flag?

[debm55]

19. Yep, has three of them. House is nice, but he has all this construction equipment he has sitting in

various parts of the yard, thus the cameras.

[bluestarone]

17. If it's in your yard, and you don't want it, then

TRASH IT! End of story.

[Hortensis]

21. Lol. If he'd rescue my garbage can from the street if I was gone,

even just dropping it in the entry to the driveway, I might rescue his flag for him. It'd be a big temptation, can't say for sure, but we've always found ways to be a decent neighbor to some very trying people and haven't regretted it, even when never repaid.

But if not -- oh, hell no to giving it back.

[brewens]

22. Save it in case there is ever another toilet paper shortage. n/t

[debm55]

24. I put it on the bottom on his yard. Will not go to his porch to drop it off. If he wants it, it is

now on his property not mine. He can go get it if he wants it . Thank you all for your suggestions.
I am not that good--half is in his yard, the other half is in the street.

[Hope22]

31. Lol!😂n/t

[debm55]

32. Hope he runs over it with his big ass truck.

[Hope22]

33. We know he's not going to bend over and pick it up!!😁

[LuckyCharms]

27. In your yard?

It's yours now.

Trash the fucking thing.

[debm55]

29. I put it in the bottom of his yard--half in the yard, the other half on the street, Hope he runs

over it tomorrow morning with his big ass truck.

[edisdead]

36. It is trash. It foes in the proper receptacle.

Just don’t put it in the recycling bin.

Oh I would make sure a bit was hanging iver the edge of the can. Just to turn the srcrews.

[Retrograde]

37. Trash found in your yard?

Can you *prove* (and not just think) it was his - it may have come from someone else upwind. And it was probably shredded anyway. Given what you've said of his behavior, I'd just put it in the garbage - after all, if it were really valuable to him he'd have taken measures to secure it, or bring it inside.

Now, if anyone has seen the plant starts that blew off my porch during the latest wind storm here....well, keep them if you want: plenty more where they came from.

[debm55]

38. He is the only one that has a Trump flag as I walk Dolly down the streets. It's his.Tossed half off

and half on the street.

[jeffreyi]

44. This.

It could have come from anywhere. Also, the baby gift. He sounds unhinged. You don't want him on your property. Sooner or later, something bad is going to happen with that bunch.

[Silent3]

39. Are you in Ohio?

We just moved here seven months ago, and my wife and I are just settling into our new house in the past couple of weeks.

We were hit by strong winds yesterday too. No big Trump flags in the immediate neighborhood, but they can definitely be found around here. Not far from our previous temporary apartment someone had a big (I'd guess 6'x4') Trump 2020 sign planted in his yard in what looked to be a long term or permanent fashion. This was in front of the nice big house of someone who probably supported Trump for tax breaks, if nothing else.

I'd love it if the wind had better ideas about the permanence of that atrocity.

[debm55]

40. Close, western PA

[Silent3]

42. Ah, on the wrong side of the toxic train derailment

East Palestine is just about 50 miles east of us, and the wind patterns blew everything from that away from us.

[debm55]

43. I live south of Pittsburgh. The area it would of blown is Beaver and Butler counties which are red.

[Emile]

41. Burn it!
