Every afternoon a group of adolescents and poorly groomed obese adults pop up in front of my house or across the street. They stare at their phones for a short period of time before shuffling off. I assume this is some sort GPS based game.

What is this and how can I annoy these people?

 

[Yossarian]

Pokemon Go.

@Westy to annoy them, I bet any Trump speech being broadcast loudly will probably work on this crowd.

Similarly, so would some, "get a job" signs in your lawn.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Poke them and go.

Looks like a group of millennials at a party.

I thought pokemon go was the game where adolescents and obese adults walked around while staring at their phones looking for virtual things. These people are showing up here waiting for something virtual thing to happen.

I'd let the dog harass them but my yard is fenced in. I do have a patch of grass between the sidewalk and the road. The groups are typically too large to live solely on the sidewalk. I think I will plant as many of my dog's land mines in that area. Unfortunately I cannot get the little bastard to drop fresh ones there.

 

[Yossarian]

@Westy There is some sort of function that draws people in to a location for some sort of pokemon circle jerk.

 

[jdcamb]

Call the cops. They are selling Fentanyl laced donuts.....

 

[canadmos]

Free wifi? Magnets?

they're not on your lawn, you can't tell them to get off it.

 

[Tom Ritchey's Moustache]

Do you not have a hose?

 

[SkaredShtles]

You can tell them to "Get off that lawn!" which, while not nearly as satisfying, is at least something.

Is that little purple box one of those community library boxes? Maybe they're discussing last week's reading assignments for a book club.

Or, they could be casing the joint, fixing to rob you when you least expect it. You'd better dispatch them all with extreme prejudice just to be safe.

if he dressed up like a pokemon they would probably visit his yard. then he could tell them "get off my lawn!"

That is a little free library. Quite a popular one to boot. Lady that owns it used to put large poorly made political signs in here front yard, leftist equivalent to homemade Trump signs. Someone wrote here an anonymous letter complaining about it. She took down the signs and now posts all the passive aggressive notes people leave her on the side of the library. They have become quite the attraction.

People in Seattle love leaving passive aggressive notes.

These nerds never look up from their phones to talk, they are probably texting each other.

 

[roflbox]

Best way to make them go away would be go to attempt socializing with them.

You mean like stand next to them while staring at my phone?

Excuse me. Do you have a moment to talk about Moar Shimz?

 

[jstuhlman]

do it. just wander over and stand with them like you belong. don't say a word.

And sloooooowly unzip my fly while making intense eye contact?

 

[jonKranked]

dress up like a furry

 

[boostindoubles]

Flaming bag of poo?

 

[Sandro]

Bonus points for not getting decked, but these people don't look like they have the quickest reaction times.

Explosives and trash cans are also a great match. Add dog poop for extra credit.

Tell them this sign means "no Pokemon"

A no fat chicks sign wouldn't hurt either.

Except Snookie,

[SkaredShtles]

I had no idea what he was talking about... so I did a Google Image search. Those pictures can NOT all be the same person.

But yeah. Ban seems appropriate.

 

[roflbox]

Except Snookie,

is this what funemployment does to a man?

hey man, whatever floats your boat.

 

[Westy]

Well, it ain't Snookie.

 

[jstuhlman]

Well, it ain't Snookie.

Dammit Westy, don't try to get me mixed up in that Snookie stuff! That's all on the perverted retiree!

Im thinking sprinkler, that way you can turn it on from a distance. Do you have an air compressor? A whistle or horn or a pipe filled with water blasted at them with 100psi could be cool.

You could also ask them for change. When they say they dont have change, tell them "no i want you to change..... your location"

 

[kazlx]

I vote for going over and trying to mingle and ask them what's going on. Bonus points for doing it in a cargo van with a 'free pokemon sign' on the side.

 

[kazlx]

Or if it's a consistent time, post a CL ad with the time, but under some fetish section.

 

[junkyard]

If you do go to mingle, be one of those people that is always too close and acts like they want to tell you a secret. Then talk about tire psi.

 

[rockofullr]

Excuse me. Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Rock Jesus?
