re: How would you handle this situation with your neighbor?

Call the leaf police, if it's out of their jurisdiction call the leaves police.

Have you ever thought of something crazy like putting down the rake, hanging out with them, maybe drinking some beer and enjoying life?

I know, crazy stuff.

Get a leaf blower and blow em right back over you pussy

I caught my neighbor's yard guy blowing the leaves into my side yard (up against the fence to my back yard. It was a shite ton of leaves and I'd always wondered why that area accumulated so many feet of leaves.

Saw him through the front window as he was blowing the leaves into our yard. Got my leaf blower our of the garage, plugged it into my front porch and started blowing them all back at him. Didn't say a word but it never happened again.

It is not. I've just always considered it common courtesy to take care of your property so you aren't an inconvenience on others.

Obviously, I'm anal about having a clean yard, they aren't. I don't mind the manual labor, it's just gotten annoying to continually do it.

Like I said, they are good people and there isn't any malice from their part.

You did and I thank you. I needed a good one.

You're oh so young, my friend. I hope your neighbor's leaves are the most serious issue you ever have because I'm not sure you can take anything worse.

I kid. I kid.

Now, to make you laugh. I like the look of Fall colored leaves in the yard until they turn brown. One year, I had a gorgeous bed of multi colored leaves on the ground from my maple and bradford pear trees. Yard guy, who is also a friend, told his guys to take them up. Just as they were loading the last big garbage bag, I went out and made them put all the leaves back in the yard! I told them to come back when they were all brown, but until then, I was going to enjoy them. From that time on, they do not pick up the leaves unless they all turn brown and that doesn't take too long, sadly.

Sounds like you just got fricked on the neighbor lottery.


Print that out and take it to them with my condolences for having to live beside you.

I look at it this way. If you lived with no other houses around you but those trees were still there, you'd still have those leaves in your yard. Who would you bitch at then?

Couldn't read any farther, this post won the thread.

How did the previous neighbors handle this egregious violation of your airspace and sovereign property being invaded by infidel leaves?
