Across the street from me, there's this shared big house full of angry East Indian people who can't speak English. They had the house built and moved in last year. They have many "nice" (mostly newer Cadillacs) cars and lots of Indian parties. On their driveway they have this large black automatic sliding gate which is constantly sliding open and closed due to all the cars going in and out. This gate, let's call it the devils gate, makes this horrible metal on metal grinding noise that pierces the ears. Every 15 minutes or so it will open and close 24/7 and wakes me up and causes all the dogs in the neighborhood to start barking. The noise reminds me of the langoliers from the movie "the langoliers" by Stephen King. I've tried to talk to them about it a month ago saying I'll come lube it up for free, no charge, but the owner didn't understand and got extremely offended like his pride was hurt. He was like "I DONTTA NEED YOUR HELP...BUTTY!" shaking his finger at me like he was scolding me. Since nothing has been done, I'm thinking of sneaking over at night dressed in black with my face covered (balaclava or bandana) so they can't recognize me, and lube the fuck out of their gate. Enough is enough and I've had it. I'm way too tired at work due to lack of sleep. I'll update my thread with more detailed plans, videos, pictures and my covert ops mission. TLDR: Neighbors have screeching gate, going to lube the fuck out of it. Omega369
There are a lot of spray can lubricants that will spray a stream several feet...or get a buddy with an old pick up to turn around in their driveway and.....oops, I backed into something...
I don't want him to recognize me. Forgot to mention, he has a ton of no trespassing and private property signs up. Technically he could call the cops on me for breaking the law as he didn't give me permission to enter his property and lube his gate. My plan is to use a Ronson spray (like WD-40 but better). Maybe I'll fill up a water gun with lube and snipe his gate from my roof Omega369
Lol just walk up to the gate at 3 am with a can of wd40 and spray the fuck out of it. You are not breaking the law. If they call the cops, after your explanation, the cops will probably drop the charges. Just dont go in their yard. Spray it from outside the fence. Good luck. Oh and dont wear black. That might get you in trouble.
heres what we do, g...we get us a ride, we all strap up, an we pull up in an old school caddy, I'll jump out and spray that shit with the quickness, and we both yell RIVERSIDE, MOTHERFUCKER! and we drive off, possibly to somewhere with a 24 hour drive thru and then i'll put in my victory mixtape and we can rock the fuck out
Seriously, can you do it? That would be awesome. You'd be a ninja. I actually learnt how to walk like a ninja, I'll teach you.
My friends and I ninja shoveled driveways at 3am for a civics project and the cops rolled up. When we told them what was up and showed them the pictures they just laughed and told us to stay out of trouble. I think you'll be good, you won't even have to go on their property
That's actually a good idea, even if they calls the cops tell them that they keep you up all night opening and closing the gate. Its not like you are vandalizing or even trespassing so you should be good.
A spray can of motorcycle chain lube works great in an application like that, it will have it nice and quiet.
