To think my new neighbour has over reacted...

[monotata]

I managed to get into my new house a couple of weeks ago. Took a lot to get in with lockdown etc but managed it - had viewed it before lockdown.

It’s a detached house but there’s a shared bit of grass at the front between the houses. Anyway, a couple of days after we moved in, I got the lawnmower out and cut front garden and moved over to the shared grass. As I was cutting it, I noticed the neighbour staring out the window at me.

I Smiled and waved and kind of signalled to him to open the window as I was going to ask him if he wanted me to cut the grass on his side.

Lo and behold the window opens and he screams out the window

“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH MY GRASS. I HAVE JUST SCARIFIED IT. DO YOU HEAR ME? WELL DO YOU?!

I’m laughing writing this because he was like a man possessed and I nearly took a fit of the giggles.

My husband had been in the garage and he came out to see what was going on.

I said to the neighbour “no worries, I leave it alone...” Later on we were out the back having a glass of wine and I could hear him speaking to someone perhaps on the phone about the upstart neighbour trying to cut his “recently scarified” grass and how rude I was 😕

Now when I leave the house he glares Out the window and if he’s out the back he humphs about when I go out to hang the washing out.

He is going to be the neighbour from hell, isn’t he?

Why not completely fuck up his world by digging up your portion of this shared grass, make a border and plant something wildly inappropriate such as giant sunflowers or something?!

If your bit is only 1m x 3m then I think I would turn it in to a flower bed with low fence between yours and his space.

Why not completely fuck up his world
What is wrong with some people? . The sheer aggression is disturbing.

@Thisismytimetoshine - It was a joke! I was only suggesting making a flower bed. Nothing aggressive in that.

This is a weird thread. You were in the wrong and so you don’t get to mock.

@whatcolourisyourfriday

I don’t think you’ve read the thread. I cut grass that I own

I asked him if he wanted his side of the grass cut....

Please, do explain how I’m wrong cutting grass that, and lll say it again, I own.
