Moar question: mahh parking.

[Coligny]

My house/former clinic/secret hideout with my name on top have a not so bad parking. Walled to separate from the street with one pedestrian door and one car entrance (booth doors were sliding... 20 years ago before the rust and some... trees... got them solidly stuck). For now the 2nd times in two weeks I got kids playing ball games in the street... while Toyohashi might be the #1 city in japan for the number of parks, with at least 3 gigantic ones available less than 5 minutes by foot from my house. If they want to call early on darwin that's not my problem. My problem start when those idiots start to extend their playground in my parking hiding behind cars. Today it was icing on the cake when the mother joined the game.

My trouble is the fact that it's still written sanfujinka everywhere. should I put "private property" signs before calling in an airstrike on their asses ? I don't really remember seing these kind of signs anywhere, and i'm quite sure they are not carried by the local hardware store. I don't feel like extending the barbwires all around the parking too. It's getting boring to go to tell them to get the fuck out...

Hold on a second. Let me get this straight. You live in a house with signs saying "obstetrician / gynecologist" all over it?

Have you considered actually going into "practice" and taking advantage of this?

[Mike Oxlong]

Find out what school they go to, and inform the school that their students are playing on private property on a regular basis, and creating a nuisance.

No, I'm living in a 4 story building that was formerly a maternity, but dad stopped delivering babies 15 years ago when he accepted some more political jobs in doctors complicamated stuff concil organisation. He also was medical advisor to the police in case of malpractice investigation. For some... heavily inertial reason (mainly the fact that he is worse than the energizer rabbit and barely stop for eating between majhong/golf/meetings/go tournament and other stuff that I can't keep track of). Nobody moved back to the house. And everybody live in the clinic. Which is absolutely no longer a clinic. Since for example the former operation/delivery room is now my barely functionnal workshop. I even use a delivery chair/table as a workbench since I can't get rid of it without heavy machinery to move or cut it. 1970' era japanese made stuff were designed to survive several apocalypse, I also got a breast pump with cast iron pneumatic piston activated by an archimede screw with an engine that is powerfull enought that I used it to winch my car in the parking... just for fun...

I even got a baby incubator... made in the 70' nearly never used... that the local redcross refuse to take because they accept only monetary donation (which is scandalous beyond understanding... but you can't pay for hookers with medical equipment i suppose...).

That's out of reach for my communication skills... And just last week a kid was killed at a crossing 100 meter from where they are playing. Redlight pole got some flowers attached to it with juice bottles on the floor... :-/

Maybe set up one of those memorials right in front of your driveway as a warning...

Large dogs only fed once a week make a lovely attention getter for little pattering feet....

I can't really improve upon sublight's advice (heh), but how about pointing lasers at the kids - and the mom - from a secret vantage point? That'd likely freak them out a bit. You also might try defecating somewhere; then the kids would think homeless were hanging out there and avoid the place.

Add a speaker and mic and scare the BEJUSUS out of them, Or invite me up for a few days and i will scare them senseless! I love scaring kids! I mean I REALLY LOVE scaring kids!

Dazz (Have not met a kid i could not scare) HA

FOUNDED !!! 198yens smaller signs saying the same thing... from Kahma... Confirming the theory that it's only when you don't know what you are searching for that you come back empty handed...

Many thanks peeps...

Have you tried going out there and telling them to fuck off? How about going out there and telling the mother not to let her kids play there?

You know you have been in Japan too long when you avoid confrontation with real people and prefer the more passive agressive methods metioned above.

Just shoo the kids away. Tell them to go up the street to the park.

You know you're married to a Nipponeser when you try to avoid direct confrontation. My wife has a clinic not far from our house, and I don't want to do anything to play into any "furyo gaijin" stereotypes the local xenophobes might possess. But when I'm out of the neighborhood, all bets are off. Why, just last night I was in a Sobu Line "Green Car" going to Yokohama when some asshole started shouting into his keitei: "Yeah, you're right - I'm drunk! But I'm on the train, so I've got to be quiet! What's that? She said that? No way!" Finally I walked over to him and said in English, "Shut up, fool." He quieted right down and apologized. Maaan, if I pay 750 yen for a Green Seat, I want my muhfuckin' money's worth.

That's what I'm doing for the last 2 weeks... getting old ya know... The panel thingy stuff is the last step before going -again- to the Koban. Since the building was formerly accessible to the public (patient) before putting a no trespassing sign, complaining more officially would have been less clear cut...

You should look into getting a Mosquito or try building one yourself .. something close to 17.4 kHz at 100 decibels

Probably illegal, but paint-ball guns work pretty well. I wouldn't shoot them directly....but a couple of shots within three meters or so would probably give them the message. Particularly if you are shooting down at them from a window.

I was having issues with the motorcycle kids near my place...they'd come roaring through my neighborhood almost like clockwork at 0200 on Friday/Saturday nights revving their bikes.

I hit them three weekends in a row from various vantage points along the streets in and out (only one way to go) and they stopped coming through for a year and a half.

I wish I could have done it to the guy delivering the newspaper in the mornings. That was almost as bad. The clutch was loud as hell on that thing.... Clutch, rev, brake squeal, newspaper thwap, Clutch, rev, brake squeal, newspaper thwap. I think he only like to drive 5 meters at a time...but alas..poor guy was just doing his job.

My eyes are bad but my ears are top notch. In Paris the only safe way for me to cross a busy intersection was to close my eyes and listen. And this noise is an abomination...

My daughter was the same kind of freak... hearing grandpa approaching in the stairs... she was starting to smile... noise fading away... sad baby face...

Just lay out bear traps for the little fuckers to step in. This is japan, nobody sues.

Will become an option... this week end these s@ck#$rs kicked a ball that got stuck on the concrete roofing/overhang in front of the main entrance... and came twice to ask for access to take back their ball. There is no real acces, just a window in front of it at the 2nd floor.
Not that I wanted to be an @sshole (not that I really care though) but 1 I cant even see this fr@cking ball from said window and 2 access to this place is more than adventurous...
