I beginning to think I'm cursed. Almost every house that I've owned, I've had one asshole of a next door neighbor.

Next door neighbors moved out last week. New neighbor who is renting the property moved in this week, looks like a single mom with 2 boys. I'm out mowing my yard this afternoon which is quite the jungle after the weeklong rain. New next door neighbor walks over and interrupts.

Neighbor: "Excuse me could you not do that?"

Me thinking maybe she works shift work or somehow the noise is bothering her and her boys."

Me: "I'm sorry is there a better time that I could do this?"

Neighbor: "No, I just need you not to do it, it's making me look bad. You see, my landlord says he wants me to take care of the yard and it can't look so much worse than yours."

Me; "What?"

Neighbor: "The landlord says my yard can't look worse than yours."


Me: "If it will help, I can mow your front yard that borders on mine over to your driveway while I do mine."

Neighbor: "No, that will just make the rest of the yard looks bad. Could you please just no do it?"

Me: "I've seen that you have a couple of boys. Maybe they could help with the yard work."

Neighbor: "But they're in school."

Me: "It's summer."

Neighbor: "They need their break."

Me: "Sorry like to help, but I'm not going to neglect my property and my home just to make you looks good with your landlord."

Neighbor: "You're an asshole."

Off to a great start! I'm really looking forward to living next for to this...

Well it is Alaska. Tell her there are very poisonous snakes that hide in tall grass and if she is bit its a long ride to the ER. You can always call her landlord on the down low.

i would say that but only as a joke. Or even say you're going to have to mow my lawn too. But to say it seriously... seriously???

I would have just stared at her like she was an alien from outer space.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Twenty some odd years ago the dump next door got a new resident. He was a black guy from Jammica.
My sons thought that was going to be terrific. I didn't care, I'll give anyone a chance. This asshole was better than everyone else. He'd sit on his front porch and drink Michelob. He was too good for normal beer. But then he'd toss his empties out in the yard. We have worthless code enforcement here. So I only put up with it for a short time. Then went to the garage and found the remnants of the yard fertilizer. At 6:00 AM, on my way to work (he didn't work, he slept in after drinking) I tossed/"broadcast" handfuls out on his can and bottle pile. Soon he had a respectable hay field. Still no cutting or yard work, I guess he was too good. But I didn't see his bottle pile.

Ridiculous request and expectation. But beyond that, you’re the asshole?

I don’t understand the mentality of wanting to live in a shithole if avoidable and especially wanting to drag people around you into it as well. This is a first for me.

2000Z-71, was asked the same by my next door neighbor. “Makes my lawn look tacky.” Me,”Eloise, I cut mine at 3”’s. You’re right, it needs cut. Her lawn man was there the next day. The man shows up a day or two after I cut.
We get along just fine now.

Yeah, I’d prolly broadcast some fertilizer on her yard, and wait till it’s a foot tall before I called the health department/inspectors and say I saw some rats in her yard…

Most of my neighbors are great. I do have a nut living next door on the non driveway side (thank God!!!). She gets all crazy if she thinks my grass clippings get on her property. There isn't any firm property line, I just guess about where the line is within a foot or so. The other side has a great neighbor. A younger divorced guy with two little girls a bit younger than my son. The kids play in their pool together and we take turns keeping an eye on them. When we're on vacation we take turns watching eachothers property, getting the mail, and taking the garbage cans in. Truly how neighbors should treat each other!!!!

I'd call the landlord and let them know. Wait until the lawn is about a foot tall, then call the local gov't to report it.

You can be absolutely sure that a person who request such nonsense is absolutely on the govt food stamps and section 8 dole. She is an entitled little bitch that that needs to get smacked the fuck down.

Man, your post pissed me off. I hate scumbag lowlife people. Bitch, get a $50 used lawn mower, put your future prison parolee sons on the back of it, and keep your lawn mowed. What a bitch !!!

I'd spiff up the yard that much more and often. Maybe the extra upkeep will encourage her to move on.

My neighbor decided to turn a pasture that borders us into a subdivision.

I'm taking a break from packing up to move as I type this.

And also thank him/her in advance for never again referring to your yard in future discussions with prospective tenants.
