This should be interesting.
One comment: If that mom thinks her kids have not heard the expression at school, she's sadly mistaken.
Another comment: If the law says 10" is the height of grass that allows for ticketing, then the guy's within his rights not to cut it. I hate lawnmowing nazis.
I mow once a week. In the Summer, that means the grass can get up to 6" tall between mowings here in MN. I had a nasty neighbor contact me the day before I was going to mow, threatening to contact the local authorities about my overgrown lawn. I told her approximately the same thing this guy mowed into his lawn. The next day, on schedule, I mowed my lawn, which I keep at 3.5".
My next door neighbor has dandelions that are, and I kid you not, taller than my first grader. I've never called on her, she's a kook. Besides that, no matter how crummy my lawn might look, hers just makes mine look that much better.
Meanwhile your idiot nosy neighbor knows you do mow once a week.
I really cant stand nosy people like this.
We have a neighbor who won't let their ajoining neighbor onto their property to install a fence. I kid you not, the cops were here the day the old fence came down. These people are freaks. No one talks to them. Without fail the house gets egged every Halloween.
Currently there is a tiny metal fence up with no privacy and the new fence can only be installed if the do not step on idiots property line.
These people are simply NUTS.
These people are so anal they rake leaves daily during the fall. There can never be a leaf on the lawn.
" had a nasty neighbor contact me the day before "
You could have a little fun with her.
Put up a sign in your yard with numbered pages, a countdown until mowing day.
Something like "Number of Days Until Bob Mows His Yard, 7". Start at 7 and lower the number everyday.
