Spending money to save myself time is about as alpha as it gets, IMO

Leave them heartfelt messages to show them how I feel about them.

I dunno. Feels pretty alpha when I’m doing whatever I want while my neighbor is mowing his lawn in the 90+ degree heat.

I will start. My grass is cut on Thursday or Friday always a day or two after all my neighbors who are old white birds who have theirs done earlier in the week.
Mine always looks better through the best days of the week and matches the golf course schedule better also.



We all have our grass cut on Friday because we aren't children and are friendly with each other. Cuts down on the noise and all of our yards look great at the same time.

Allow them to think there is some sort of ongoing competition for mowing, etc.

I decorate obnoxiously for Mardi Gras so my BR neighbors are reminded that I’m from NOLA

And I didn’t ruin the neighborhood

My neighbor refused to help pay to replace our shared fence so I poisoned his cat.

I have another neighbor that's a Bama fan and I threw a purple and gold brick through his window after we scored the 2 point conversion. In 2019 I set his flag on fire.

Everybody gets into Halloween decorations on my block, low key trying to out-do each other. So last year we got a very imposing 18' skeleton mummy with LED lights and it makes scary mummy noises. Outdo that, bitches

Well played. Same in our neighborhood with Halloween. We don’t get into the other stuff but we go pretty crazy for it and have multiple spooks going on with scary music and sounds blasting out from a big speaker. We get some good feedback from the visitors (except try to not go full bore when smaller children are coming up, most stuff is controlled remotely.)

Otherwise, on the common strip we share with an older nice couple I’ll often just cut the whole strip just to be nice. Not really intended as Alpha but there be a little there.

I had a pool built in my backyard when the HOA refused to open the neighborhood pool for summer 2020 because of Covid. I then worked behind the scenes to lead the effort to overthrow the HOA board and elect a slate of board members that had the ability to think for themselves and not blindly follow Fauci.

Nah you want it done so your is shorter for more of the week and weekend. This is much better. Also if they do theirs on Tuesday theirs looks like shite from the golf course compared to mine. Reevaluate your position.

Nobody does their own yards in my neighborhood. Not one.

Both. Matching outfits except I open carry and she’s still too small for a compact.

Third Sunday shooting session w my buddies back behind the barn. 5-6 guys with all kinds of weapons for 3-4 hours.

Also, I keep the burn barrel lit Thurs night through the weekend. Love the smell of a wood fire. Yes, even in the summer.
