Main Liner Shockingly Annoyed
![]() |
Gawd, how bad is it that a kid wants to get out and get some exercise and attempt to better himself at something he clearly enjoys doing! The nerve of that stupid little punk.
The real question is, of course: How close could houses in a "lawned and leafy, neo-bucolic suburb of Philadelphia" be? And how loud could a basketball being dribbled be, especially when it's at 3:30 in the afternoon? And how could you live that close to Narberth and be annoyed by basketball?
Anyway, if you're an adult with a kid who loves basketball and plays a lot, I suggest you start teaching him some new skills: Like shotput throwing, drumming or possibly screaming contests.
He dribbles! He shoots! He drives me insane! [Salon]
Thanks, Emily G.

Maybe this guy can find a nice street corner or some crack for the kid. That would certainly stop that annoying dribbling sound!

The letter-writer should just move to Center City. There's WAY fewer annoying noises here.
