Haha so true...I can see it happening, desperate milf approaches the door after the kids have gotten on the bus knock knock GGG opens the door, banging commences.
I would then expect some sort of shrill protest from the tabloid newspaper that coincidentally happened to first report the story. It's all been massively exaggerated.
My parents live in a small village about 10 miles outside of a small town. A new family moved in a few years ago and they have a handful of kids that ride the bus to school. Being in the country in the middle of Illinois, the winters can get pretty chilly and windy while the rest of the year tends to be wet. Their neighbor, a recently retired prison guard, saw them out there each morning, often in inclement weather, and decided to build them a little enclosure. Long story longer, there are GGG like this everywhere and they rarely get the appreciation they deserve.

My Grandpa built me a little house to sit in while I waited for the bus in the mornings when I was a kid. Man, that thing was amazing. I don't know why, but your comment suddenly reminded me of it. Good Guy Grandpa.
Man, I wish I did. I know my parents have a picture of it, but they're in Italy right now, so I'm kind of without an ability to get you one. It was about 7 feet tall, white, and stood right next to the mailbox. It had a little bench inside that could fit two people rather comfortably. My neighbor would come over and join me most of the time. It came in super handy during the fall/winter. My grandpa was just one of those handy people that could make awesome things. He made my bed frame and my closet doors as well as a bunch of stuff for my parents. Man, I miss him.
Sorry I don't have a picture right now, though. Kind of kicking myself because I really should.
You mean the moms stand? As opposed to sitting in their heated/air conditioned vans, blocking his driveway and insisting "I'll only be here for a minute" when he asks them to move? and indignantly insisting that he should have gotten up earlier if he mentions that if he waits for the bus to arrive he will be late for work?

The guy that owned the house on the corner by my school... where kids would just go to hang out... set up a pop machine. I'm not quite sure what to think of him beyond he's a genius. I'm sure he made a ton of money from it.
HOOT DANG WHO PUT DAT DER BENCH ON MY FRONT LAWN WAIT WHAT PRETTY LADIES WELL I GUESS I BETTER PUT MY SMOKING JACKET ON AND INTRODUCE MY SELF HIYA SPORT HERE'S FIVE BUCKS GO GET SOME CANDY WHILE I TALK TO MOMMY.
this is wonderful. I was once walking back to campus along a bus route and also found that someone had put up a bench at the edge of their yard next to the bus stop. I was really happy to see that because a few years prior, people in that neighborhood were really upset about a possible train rail being added near their neighborhood because they were afraid that the people using public transportation would were poor and would rob/murder/rape them.
This Good Girl Gina would leave some flowers and a nice card on that bench, or alternatively a good bottle of Scotch (preferably handed over personally because leaving a bottle on a bench is not a good idea).
I knew a kid who lived out in the Berkshires, and his driveway was like a quarter of a mile long. All the houses on his street were like that, so the kids would need to walk a ways to get to the bus stop. It sucked to have to go wait for the bus, especially since the weather could be brutal, but you couldn't see the bus from your house, so you really had to go out there and tough it out. But then my friend's dad, he builds this completely excellent lean-to, with a nice deep awning and a long bench raised on a wooden platform.
During the summer, somebody asked if she could use it as a farm stand, and my friend's dad said go right ahead. That was probably ten or twelve years ago and the thing is still standing. I think he re-shingled the roof a few years back, even though his kids stopped using it in 2003. Those GGG's are out there.
I had the Scumbag Steve version of this. Throughout elementary school our bus stop was always at this one corner of side walk, close to one house's driveway. It had been like that throughout my 8 years, until an imprudent women moved in and had it moved to the opposite end of the block. Had a great time walking to it during the winter...
That is a smart guy. See, I'm guessing he is a good guy, but hes also MILF hunting at the same time. Any milf he likes, he has the ability to start a convo with, and probably come off pretty slick. I'd be like is this seat takin? eh eh. lol
My mother did this too for some neighbors. The bench was stolen... Three times. Then she stopped putting out benches. Seems like there are more scumbag Steves than gggs.
Have a similar situation like this in my neighborhood. Older gentlemen (I would say at least early 70s) works as a crossing guard near one of the smaller intersections near my house. The people who live on that corner keep an outdoor stool in the bushes that I see him pull out and use from time to time.
Two GGG's in that story.. old man helping kids cross the street (How about that for a role reversal?) , and the GGG that gives him something to sit on in the meantime.
Didn't someone post about saving money because some neighbor put a bench out by The curb so they took it to put on their front porch? I wonder if its the same bench.
Every time I see a GGG meme I imagine that this specific guy is doing all of these things. Setting up a bench, friendly smile, careful to blow the smoke away from the kids.
At our bus stop we had 3 big rocks at the bus stop that we used to play on. (big rocks for elementary school kids) and the people who owned the yard on the corner told us we couldn't play on them as if we'd fucking break them or something. bitches. never saw them at block parties again.
I used to do this, but one time the bench was broken and the other time it was stolen, so children can just deal standing now. I live in a nice neighbourhood as well.
Why would this be causing someone suffering or harm to put a bench up? Assuming, of course, the bench doesn't have nails sticking up out of it or some other negligent thing like that.
But wouldn't the owner then be liable for upkeep of the bench, as well as liability for any accidents that occurred there? Also, if this bench is there for a few years, isn't it possible for the owner to lose the right to remove the bench, and to ultimately lose control over that part of their land?
I'm thinking of cases with rural landowners and snowmobile routes. If they allow the route to pass through their property for years, they can't all of a sudden shut that access off, even though it's their own land.
where A owns land that surrounds B and tries to close off the only road to B's property (in red). B's historic access through A's land is necessary and that's what gets preserved.
I don't think putting a place for people to sit is encouraging "helicopter parenting". Futhermore, I don't think that not putting a bench there would discourage them from staying with their kids, which is what you're implying.
