Anyone returning to this page…Let me tell you I have a BIG problem with this. Its terrible, and I am sick of it. It IS trespassing and it poses a problem daily. My stoop is full to the top daily where I cannot even get out of my apt. Just today some fn a-shole was doing a PHOTO shoot on my stoop and I lost it. I am done, it is trespassing and I will lead the way to the citations and to jail if it’s possible. I CAN’T WAIT. I am sick of back talk and getting harassed by a bunch of entitled annoying little rich white kids who never heard the word no or learned manners. Give me the hoodies and the old neighborhood kids/teens any day of the week, they were a JOY compared to this shit..
We had that problem with our next door neighbors who sell items next door and always have a throng of people congregating (kids and adults) around. After repeated conversations to the neighbors that our place is left dirty or vandalized my the congreagants, we finally put a 5 foot fence around our small front yard (as we see has been done in most of the houses in the neighborhood. The change has been dramatic. There was just a block party and not even a gum wrapper was left in our yard for the first time.
I remember sitting on stoops back in my younger days so I try to be nice and tell them they can stay so longs as they don’t leave a mess (garbage, cigarette butts…. ). No issues.
I came home the other day to find two guys sitting on my stoop, so I (female) said hi, sat down next to them and took out my Blackberry to do some work. They moved to my neighbor’s stoop.
12:41 – that was too cute!!
I’m green and I find that people with purple houses don’t mind if I sit on their stoops while people with yellow houses get pissed and spray me with elephant snot.
Well whad’ya know, bring on your opera, I’m a stoop-sitting thug who loves classical opera. A drive-by is not a drive-by unless you have Sir Colin and ma London Symphony crew riding shotgun wich’ya!
Pop-up, pop-up ….Westsaiiide, Ruuuuff, Ruuuuff!!!!!
A baseball bat slung over your shoulder may get their attention.
it’s interesting. i’m white and sit on others people’s stoops all the time. mostly i get hellos and smiles from their respective owners.
i can’t for the life of me figure out why this particular situation would be any different.
hmmm….let me think on it.
