Who the hell just leaves out a basketball net in the street when they're not using it? You don't own the road. It has wheels for a reason.

It’s because they get in the way of the car thieves and don’t forget to put your vehicle keys out for them too

Its about time and property owners should check where your property really begins and ends.

Love how they find the guy who complained his net got hit because it was overhanging the road and he admits he called it in. Way to ruin it for everyone Mr Entitled parent. hahah

Exactly! He thought he was gonna get someone in trouble. Loser didn't realize he was in the wrong. Ottawa where the by-law complaints outnumber the residents 😂😂

@UncompressedWAVmusic 12 дней назад

The nets get moved so the waste management company could do their job. It's not rocket science.

@graham7255 13 дней назад

Where can you put it? In your backyard or in your driveway where we had ours when we were kids. Stay away from the roadway for the protection of your kids. Wake up parents. Geez.

@m.g.3679 13 дней назад

It's pretty silly to put a net near the road. Kid complaining that a ball hitting you hurts, well imagine a car hit

@DW-op7ly 13 дней назад

That wasn’t the issue Lots of kids played on the streets back in the day Even hockey nets were places in the middle of the road, where you yelled car and everyone got out of the way

@m.g.3679 13 дней назад

@@DW-op7ly back in the day when that was common. Not now. Now cars speed up and not used to kids playing. Unless it's a closed street, it is a very dangerous idea. Playing roulette with your kids life

@user-je6cy3pu3u 13 дней назад

What we weren’t supposed to tell the kids to play in the street

@dalegribble60 13 дней назад

My basketball net was on the garage in our driveway. We were taught as kids to not play on the street. Street hockey was more field hockey in someones big backyard. Privileged.

@greggreg2263 13 дней назад

Now the kids won’t be occupied playing basketball. They will be in a gang by the end of the summer. Thank you waste management company.😢

@r.1599 13 дней назад

When I was a kid, we had our basketball net attached to the garage. Sometimes the ball would roll down the driveway and into the road, and we would run down, check for cars, and snatch it back quickly. Losing control of our ball that way was something to be embarrassed about. The road is for cars and we were not so self-entitled as to think that we had a right to encroach on it. Before that, we had a portable net off the _side_ of the driveway, away from the road. Again, no problems there, and the kids were a lot safer. "Go play in traffic" is sarcasm; it's not meant to be taken seriously.

@geoffcowley8826 13 дней назад

What's next road hockey ban!!! CAR!!! We pull the net's out of the way and then continue our game!!! Does anyone remember that?!!! CAR!!!

You can play basketball, just don't leave the net in the street.

@johnramsden7654 12 дней назад

Homeowners think just because there is no sidewalk they own it. They don't own the easement. It is public.

@lovingpeace9715 13 дней назад

It's noisey and dangerous. We pay taxes for parks, sports facilities, and arenas for a reason.

@anotheran 13 дней назад

@coltringcoltring7448 13 дней назад

Better no nets . Go in a public park

@MedicinalBlood 13 дней назад

Boomer thinking. Not every park has a basketball court. Actually most aren’t even in walking distance.

@user-be1uk4uc4f 12 дней назад

Rob should have kept his mouth shut. You can move those nets easily, Miller doesn't want to be responsible for damaging their trucks or someone's personal property, meanwhile the law is the law. Move the net to play, move it back when done. Don't be lazy parents. Also the weight is irrelevant, they have wheels for a reason.

@AuskaDezjArdamaath 13 дней назад

The street is for vehicles. You want to play, go to a park.

@anetgumienik4476 13 дней назад

Put it over your garage door. Kids shouldn’t be playing on the street anyway. When I walk my dog I have see way to many times kid running after the ball and almost getting hit by a car. Residents in the neighborhood drive slow but the delivery guy don’t

Tell the bylaw officers to f off and then get upset when they crawl down your butt. By the way - They don't work for YOU. They work for the city as a whole.
