OTV: Dealing w/Yelling Yahoos

When I lived down on Front Street about 8 years ago where the library is now, a truck matching that same exact description decided that they weren’t going to cruise Sherman at night for whatever reason, but would rather drive up and down my street, shouting obscenities at passers-by and tossing empty beer cans in peoples yards. This lasted off and on for about a month until finally enough people must have complained so much that the police did something/ OrangeTV . Rest of comment below .

DFO: I do a lot of walking around town. Inevitably, a passing yahoo or his passenger will lean out the window and scream or curse at me. It happens about once a week. Dunno if this is a local phenomenon. Or yahoos simply get their kicks screaming at pedestrians.

Question: Has a yahoo yelled at you while biking or walking along local streets?

We used to enjoy mocking them with loud, flaming parties and gangsta rap and disco blasting from big speakers pointed out the front door. They’d call us every name they could think of but they were all bark and no bite, and of course, free booze always trumps hate. One time we offered them “Dead Nazi” shots (Mix of Rumpleminz, Jagermeister, and Goldschlager) and they took us up on it, hanging out in the yard for a minute and being semi-cool. They were back to their usual stoopid antics the next night.
