oh, the dish


ok folks, the story begins. last weekend our neighbour installed this eye sore of a satellite dish, pretty much as close as possible to the dividing line on our semi. we called the home owner to let her know her tenant had done so and asked nice and politely if she would mind asking the tenant to please move it. she seemed not to care. still feeling that chilly retort.

in addition to being an eye sore the satellite blocks part of the view from our front tiny window.



now as much as we respect their right to do as they please with their house, would it have been so terrible to install it in a less intrusive place, let's say one that does not block the view at all from my soon to be office?

are we over-reacting? feels so unreasonable and rude.

mmmmmmmmm...hard one to call as hey, it ain't my damn house! But looking at the picture it does seem a bit much. I mean, it's a satellite dish y'all. It's not like the satellite won't find the dish if it's at the back. Such an eyesore at the front of a home and based on the picture, yes I would call it obstructive. It really does ruin the view and I would find that very annoying

update: in the spirit of thanksgiving and all that is Canadian, our neighbour -- the tennant, not the landlord, decided to have the dish moved, no fuss. cheer cheer!! back to almost normal.

I would be quite annoyed if it was my neighbour.
Mind you, we get annoyed by the sight of of neighbour's hanging laundry...
I mean who really wants to look at old gray size xxl underwear hanging on the line every single weekend?
