Yard-sale etiquette
Yard-sale etiquette
To all the yard-salers, just a heads up. To go to yard sales does not mean you can make U-turns in the middle of a busy, side road at any given time because you missed the sign, nor does it mean you can park in front of someone's driveway, half on a sidewalk, leave your children in a running car, park on half the road and open your door with no caution of looking to see if a car is coming, drive to slow because you thought you saw a sign, slam on your breaks because you did and speed down a residential road in danger of hitting a child or adult, all because it's a yard sale.
To go to a yard sale also does not mean your children can play with the toys and break them before they can be sold. The yard sale is not a baby sitter. Its all about respect, and last but not least, I am sure, don't look at me with the look that says, "My children are running around my car and in the busy street, and I need to look out for that!" Rules of the road do apply to you, so does child endangerment laws. Don't take the fun out
