I don't know where people get the time to notice all the little aggravating things that go on - there is so much else to do. In my case, I could not tell you what my neighbors have out on their driveway.
You are correct that everyone's idea of beauty and tacky are different. I keep telling myself that. The reason I notice is that their driveway is across from my eating area so every time I sit down to eat I see the driveway. BTW, 7 other homes around me stated the same thing so I wasn't the only one who felt they were tacky. Also, it's good to notice things around the neighborhood. We all watch out for each other. It's a form of security for us. Kinda like a neighborhood watch.
