Why are people such a**holes now a days?

My yard is crappy. Seriously bad. Why? Because I have no knowhow, energy, time, or HELP to fix it up. That's why. Nothing to do with laziness.

So I get a complaint to my landlord from a neighbor. Did this neighbor bother to come over to my place and offer to help me with my yard? No. He just complaines like a jack***, full of assumptions.

Whatever happened to being neighborly?

Went out the window with the Patriot Act. Now they all just think you are a terrorist harboring bombs and drugs inside your pillow case...your sweet look isn't fooling anyone in the government snarky!

What do you mean by bad? You just need to mow it or what? What exactly are they complaining about?

yea I here ya...if only I knew how to do dishes, vacuum, sweep, dust, and mop perhaps my place wouldn't look like trash...

Send over the pooch to their lawn for a watering session.Oooops! Sowwwwy!

As much as I love doing yard work and building decks, patios and landscaping etc. I probably wouldn't have offered and just did it on my own. Kind of like the elves and the shoemaker. You wake up/come home from work and your yard is done, or in the process, but then without me asking first, you would have called the cops and I would have been arrested or trespassing ...lol.

I have enough of my own stuff to do, why would i wanna help clear my neighbours yard?

If your yard bothered me though, i would have been more direct though rather than go running to your landlord. The guy is a wimp.

Awww...go mow the lawn! J/K Some people have nothing better to do than to put a monkey wrench in someone else's day...fok 'em...

I usually just take Round-up and write "clean up these freaken weeds" in giant letters in their yard.

I take care of my own yard and I have a big front and back yard, also I tend my garden.. I don't have time or energy to do my neighbors.

This is simple. It's your yard. You take care of it. Nobody want's to look at an eyesore. Everyone in my neighborhood take's care of their yard's. Infact, we were all mowing our yard's today at the same time. No one want's a shabby lawn.

get some goats....they work for you, and you can pet them like kiddy's!!! extremely fuzzy luxurious kiddy's!!! pet the kiddy!!!!

pet the niiice kiddy!!! pet pet pet pet!!!!

you get neighbors that just don't use common sense to approach you and offer to help that is all. Then you have neighbors that do not show any common courtesy to people who live above them and grill and smell up your place.

I don't want anyone to DO IT for me. I don't know HOW to do it. I could use help in that way at least.

I never had my own yard. I don't know what to do. Pull weeds, yeah. Mow, yeah. But what about when there's no grass at all? What then? And what if I can't AFFORD a lawnmower? Have you ever priced them? I JUST got a job for the first time in three MONTHS!

And flowers and sh**? I wouldn't even know where to start there. I have a black thumb. Yardwork, plants, etc are NOT my strong point. That doesn't make me a lazy, good-for-nothing bad person. It makes me a bookworm mother of five entering grad school who simply can't do yards.

I'm just not a yard person.

And FYI, I don't have a couch on my porch or toys or garbage everywhere. It's just dead grass (where there is grass) and weeds, mostly.

I hate snobby stepford a**holes.

I bought a place in a block which is almost entirely Council tenants, so if i ever get any snotty neighbour complaining about me i will just go into an 'I OWN MY PLACE YOU COUNCIL SCUM!' rant.

Dan... I'm American. Forgive the ignorance, but wtf does Council tenants mean?

It's just dead grass (where there is grass) and weeds, mostly.

For the place where there is the dead grass and weeds. Have you priced sod? That is one Idea.

You can either own your own place, rent a private place or rent from the council.

The council is the local govenment. Its often the poorer people that are council tenants.

Nothing wrong with being poorer, i would just enjoy my rant if i ever got the chance! lol

Water, grass seed, keep the kids off of it, and you can buy a mower for less than fifty bucks. And if you are going to Grad school you should be able to figure the rest out.

What's sod?

I mean that. Seriously.
