My neighbors are slobs!

Was raining all day here, so didn't want to go outside. That's the other thing that bugs me about my neighbors, though. They throw ridiculous numbers of dog bone treats over the fence to mine, and I already have two overweight dogs without their help.
Nothing a little Round Up can't handle.... just make sure you're upwind from the blowing chemicals....or you can call "weed" control...that'll teach 'em
Hey.......... Easy on the pubic announcement Huh?
We aren't Slobs.... If you returned the kid's football, frizbee and our dog... We might just cut our lawns!
Can we borrow your mower?
LOL That's why I never live in HOA/POA areas. I don't, and I won't, I like it natural
Well, to be exactly frank - I do. But much less frequent than average american.
LOL, God Misha, you just so love to stir the pot don't you
Nah, I just love it when everybody including me mind their own business, and communicate to others only to say how beautiful others are
Ohh Misha, what are we going to do with you?? You love to be contraversial, (and you know it), there is much more to you than simply "I just love it when everybody including me mind their own business, and communicate to others only to say how beautiful others are"
yep you said it right
The way I see it - it depends What you consider to be weeds anyway- I like country living where there are dandilions and daisies and pretty little pink flower things covering my lush green grass , but alot of people consider them weeds , they pull out or kill the nice yellow, white and pink flowers and then run down to the store and spen hours upon hours planting yellow white and pink flowers all "around" the lush green grass. They think that it looks good. What the heck? See we're losing our bee population cause they eatoff of the dandelions, daisies and pretty flowering things not the fake flowers.LOL Based on what Sneako is posting here, I bet he just pretends
We Don't have many neighbours in NZ. (Other than in the cities)
The sheep never Honk or Play loud music. Most of the other people are: at the beach, hunting, fishing, bush walking, skiing, boating, enjoying the rivers, lakes or the sea.
I wanna live where you live, sounds perfect
Still love the idea of NZ to live, privacy, scenery, and miles between you and your neighbours sounds perfect for me
Well... there's part of the answer
Seriously though, a friend whose neighbour hated mowing his lawn, waited until the neighbour was away for a few days and then mowed the guy's lawns for him.
When the guy came back, he asked my mate who cut his lawns as he didn't have a mower and was pretty impressed with the cut. My friend's son ended up with a lawn mowing job for $20 every fortnight. In that way he solved 3 problems at once and ended up getting on with his neighbour eventually.Fabulous result, I love it
Best you go fishing more often mate
Where there are neighbors there's always likely to be something that irks you - daily, earnly morning, non-stop, .leaf-blowing,Christmas lights you think are tacky and don't feel like looking at, weekend get-togethers that take up all the parking spaces,the stinko smoke from wood-burning stoves, barking dogs, etc. etc. It goes on and on. The way I see it, people can be as "anal" as they like about their ownyard, but life is short; and there are people starving to death in the world and people with sick children. I really can't see spinning my wheels over something like my neighbor's obnoxious Christmas lights or lawn. My mother used to say things like, "If that's your biggest problem, just be happy and grateful you're able to deal with your own lawn, because some people either can't do the work themthelves or don't have the money to hire someone to do it. Having that kind of thinking drummed into my head has made me a happier person.
I grew up in suburbia, and everyone around us had beautiful lawns. We were the family on the corner that had every kid in town playing in our yard. We couldn't have had a nice yard if our lives depended upon it. In addition, grubs just loved our yard, so it was full of holes. Honestly, my dad tried, but he just didn't have the time to manicure the yard. So he didn't.
Fast forward to now- as an adult I live in the country, and it has its pluses and minuses. My lawn is about 3 acres and when my lawnmower died this spring, all heck broke loose. My grass was about a foot high, and the Schwan man said he was going to bring a machete to get to my porch on his next visit. Luckily, it didn't come to that because the lawnmower got repaired.
However, the local Amish horses leave piles of road apples along the road where I live. I'm guessing that would be a worse case scenario for some people who live in these high-end neighborhoods!
