How would you handle this situation with your neighbor?

What are they supposed to do catch them as they fall?

Say whatever you want but expect them to laugh in your face right after.

What do you want them to do? Your yard work for you? Give you a case of beer for doing your own chores?

Welcoming to home ownership. Grow up.

Their front yard has been littered with leaves for weeks. They just slowly trickle over. They even raked a pile for their son to jump into, and that pile eventually blew entirely into my property.

I mean you can't make them rake their yard, nor is it really your place to tell them to rake their yard. I wouldn't say you're being an a-hole, but you are being anal

I have no trees, but my yard always gets covered in leaves that I rake. You're responsible for your yard. Clean as often as you want.

They're not putting them in your yard. Nevertheless, they didn't plant the trees. If ypu want to be THAT neighbor, blow them back into their yard. I would just grin and bear it.

Did your previous neighbors rake the leaves up, or do you just not like these neighbors?

If the leaves are bothering you, rake em up.


Or go get a case of beer, and just drink it.

People have different priorities. Leaves must not be theirs.

There are much worse things... cancer, barking dogs, biting dogs, too loud music, parking in the yard, etc.

You want a thank you and a gift for cleaning up your own yard? Yes, you're being an a-hole.

WTF? Why should they clean your yard? Are they supposed to put diapers on the trees?

Not everyone lives in trailer park and wants a trashy chain link fence to stop leaves from piling on their totally bitchin Camaro
