Six years in a row, she meticulously cleans her yard of leaves from three maple trees.

Instead of burning or hauling the leaves away like many dozens of people,
She blows them all the way across the and down a house in to my front yard.

Which will end up in our garage when the wind comes.

Yep, I deal with it every single year. Different, but same result.

The assfuckery POS at the end of my street, he has a bunch of trees. Massive fuckers, oaks. The leaves will fall off all of them to the point you can’t see his grass/lawn at all. The leaves will be over a foot high. He’ll let it fester for weeks versus timely cleaning it up. All that shit ends up in my pool, in the skimmer buckets to the point I’m pulling skimmers for 7-14 days straight. Other neighbors do the same shit. They look at it, with their lazy fucking asses, and must say “the wind will take care of most of this” and let it fly all over other people’s homes, yards, etc. I’m got damn sick of a subdivision. Assfuckery, his leaves will get in my driveway too. I have a very large carport behind the house and they’ll be leaves stacked up all around my vehicles. I have to start them, pull them out of the alley, park them in front of the house. Then get my big broom and spend an hour clearing the driveway. This runs simultaneously with me cleaning the pool out every day.

I cut down my big uns out front so I wouldn’t have to deal with this shit. My shade trees, drop all their shit, almost at once, and I just mow it, and in one shot my yard from the fall, is done. Neighbors are infuriating.

If I had a pick up, I'd load them all up and dump them in their driveway

Move to tExas where, wnd will take care

Same here. A neighbors very large Maple was beautiful this year. but the way the wind blows most end up inside my townhome parking area between the garage's. The maple leaves are flat & very slick when wet, making it dangerous getting into my car. Also the bitch that lives directly behind me blows the leaves from her drive into the alleyway, Then more leaves end up around my car. I bought a Makita Vacuum/Blower & just spent an hour vacuuming all the leaves around my car & the side yard.

I keep wanting to believe that tiny town people are a cut above.

But by golly some make it a tough sell

My place is located in the Cherokee National Forest which is 655,598 acres of TREES!

The wind here handles it all. I laugh at leaf blowers.

Blow them back

I have trees. My neighbors all have trees. The wind blows and the rain falls. The leaves go everywhere. Some of my leaves go in their yard, some of theirs go in mine. I mowed them all up yesterday, and my yard is completely covered again today. My next day off that it doesn't rain I'll be out there doing it again. It's just life in the fall.

One of our neighbors is in his 60s and on oxygen. He has a spot where the leaves have collected 3 feet deep in his yard behind a shed. My son is going to go over there this weekend with his truck and haul them to my in-law's burn pile.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Best response thus far. Come winter those with North South driveways will complain that the neighbor's snow will pile up because of a prevailing East West wind,

My point is,
She has the ability to do the job correctly w/o causing twice as much work for her neighbor,
But
Instead she made the conscious decision to inconvenience others ,

In this day and age of everybody against everyone regardless of the consequences,
She gives not shit one about how others view her as a person,neighbor or human.

Make a difference or make an enemy, .

But if I would have drove the mini van over her flabby ass, then I am the bad guy.

Next year, get netting and posts. Erect them along the yard line so that it piles up on her side.

Take the netting down in such a way that it all falls back on her property.

Yep. From my reference above..
My trees drop, I clean up my own shit.
Assfuckery two doors down, will leave a foot or higher stack of leaves, where you can’t even see his grass, for weeks on end. We all have to deal with narcissists. There is a difference between fall hitting everyone and a neighbor intentionally saying fuck it, IDGAF, everyone else can just deal with it.

I have a neighbor on my street that blows his grass clippings out into the street and shovels and blows all snow out into the street, both which are illegal, but he does it anyway. It’s a residential neighborhood not some middle of nowhere rural road.

Some people just DGAF

The guy two houses north of us not only blows the lawn trash onto the street, he goes one step further and blows them into the rain sewer (violation of city ordinance), causing the sewer to back up into the gutters on the street, as far as four or five houses on either side of the sewer.

I think I'd definitely have to return those leaves to their home.

Grab the largest tarp you have and rake her leaves onto that tarp and return them to her yard.

We use tarps every year for leaf gathering. Amazing how much you can get on a large tarp. We weave a rope through the grommets and tie the ends together and then to the back of the riding zero turn mower for easy moving.

Back before I started chopping up the leaves with my ZTR , I would rake my leaves on to a tarp . I could grab two corners and easily drag a dump truck load to the back and dump them down the ravine . Then I got old and lazy and started the mulching thing ...
