Why wouldn't I? It's not like it's hard work. And I enjoy being outside. And yes I could afford to pay someone to do it but choose not to

The only reason it's okay is because that fricker was up late and your neighbors were already up. On a Saturday man? Come on, people wanna sleep until about 8.

I find it enjoyable in this spring weather. It's been gorgeous last couple of days.

That's the only reason I did it. I normally wait until about 9.

Sure they were. I'm sure there wasn't a single neighbor sleeping in a bit after a long work week.

But you showed that kid and so forth.

IF I am not up working early I want to be up hunting, fishing or something- but laying in bed to 8am? Man that is what girls do -

So you punished all of your surrounding neighbors to get even with a teenager?

What has happened to our world? No one wants to get up and go to work - sleeping in? really?

When my brother and I headed out at night my dad used to tell us - stay out late if you want but at 5 am Saturday morning we are getting up to work and do chores.

On Saturday's mom would say stay out but remember the later you stay out the earlier you go to church

Taught us about priorities and gave us a work ethic.


That's fine and all. But I was raised to respect other people and treat them as you want to be treated. And cutting grass and using loud equipment before the sun rises on a Saturday is being a dick.

Awesome, you have a good work ethic. Enjoy being a selfish hard worker.

So you don't ask him to turn the music down last night, but you crank the weed eater at 6:45? You are on passive aggressive dude. The kid shouldn't have cursed you out, but learn to deal with your issues like an adult. You probably pissed off half your neighbors just like the kid did last night, so you're just as shitty a neighbor Henry Highhorse

We have an understanding now. No loud music past 10 because I have small kids and I won't start yardwork until a decent hour


I was hoping for a more confrontational, and even violent, end to this story.

Why is it so hard for some to be considerate neighbors, and not do something at 6:45 AM just for no other reason than to be a good neighbor?
