Neighbor WTF

[eb777888]

I think he did it because you either didn't give him cash or he felt it wasn't enough. Or he's just a weirdo. Either way, fuck him. I don't know why I'm so annoyed with this guy, lol. I keep coming back here.

I would actually have your H go out and rake the leaves back over the wavy cleared line. lol. Fuck this weirdo.

That was my suggestion lol. 

Our leaves really need to be raked though, the city comes to pick them up on Monday. If we had another week, I'd totally just cover the line haha.

That's so strange. Usually people get persnickety when you DON'T acknowledge their gesture. Perhaps like a previous poster he said, the card and tip made him feel like you expected this from him from here on out, and it offended. That's a bit of a stretch though.

We have the opposite problem. We live in a townehome community on one end and our neighbor on the other end has always, since we moved in, mowed all the backyards right up until our house and then stops. Not that we expect him to do it for us, but we always though "Why not just finish?". H enjoys working on his own yard though, and takes pride in it so it's really not an issue.

I would talk to him. Not to say "what's your problem?" but to find out what the intentions are behind his actions. It may just be perfectly innocent. But you won't know until you or your H talks to him.

So I have a sort of similar story.

Our neighbor two houses down used to always tell high over to us and chat occassionally. He seems like a nice outgoing guy.

Last winter he came over with his snowblower while DH was shoveling and did the whole driveway for him. So nice! So the next day I baked some cookies and DH brought them over. His wife said it wasn't necessary but seemed nice enough from what DH said.

After that, he doesn't say hello anymore. So weird.

Well, your H was clearly hitting on his wife.

Probably true. I should really discuss that with him.

For the record, I'm not mad that this guy is skipping over our house. He obviously has the right to pick and choose who he wants to help out. I just think it's strange that we say thanks, and that's when he decides to start skipping us.

We have no problem raking our own leaves or shoveling our sidewalk. We do have a problem with the neighbor driving through the middle of our yard picking up one wavy line of leaves and then leaving the rest.

I would confront him. Nicely of course. He's being passive aggressive and I would call him on it.

"Hi Stewie, I noticed you drove your tractor across our lawn. Is everything OK?"

Then depending on his answer you can tell him to mind his own business and stay off your fucking lawn or offer him $20 to clear the leaves when needed.

This is weird. I would be inclined to not engage, at least not right now. If he keeps mowing lines in your yard, then yeah, I would have a word with him. Just doing it once, I would not say anything and would purposely not rake this weekend lol.

He sounds like a real dick.

Flaming bag of poo for him!!
