not that I think about poster's member sizes, but if I were to imagine FAX, he's black and lives up to all the hype about black dudes and the size of their wieners....

They were primarily created by men, actually, to make money. Also, to allow insignificant people who are unhappy with their lives to exercise some control over something.

Write CUT YOUR GRASS in their yard with some round up in huge letters while they're gone and claim to know nothing of it if asked.

do what my family does - make fun of the person for their flaw until they develop a disorder

I saw the dude out mowing a couple days ago and actually joked to the wife, "I wonder if he's going to mow the back yard this time." Then I got home in daylight yesterday, and there it was .... looking like ass.

You know, my wife and I hate yard work. Hate. It. But dammit, we do it every week because it's the right thing to do when you live in a nice neighborhood.

But that will just lead to them finding out it was you anyways.

If you do a call to the code enforcer, do you have to give a name?

Starting off on the right foot is way overrated.

The old habit of a good relationship that sours over the years from various scrapes and petty disagreements needs to die.

In todays world we sidestep those little steps and go straight to "I'm only tolerating you. Welcome to the neighborhood. Here's 3 eggs and a cup of sugar for the future. This will be the last time we talk."

ROFL

They've been there a month, and I have yet to meet them. The wife talked to them briefly on move-in day.

I'd hire a really talented cropduster.

You have two options.

Option 1, be a dickhead neighbor.

Option 2, get the **** over it.

You have to do both. It's the only way to be sure.

Have a crop duster spray his yard with Roundup, its “nuke it from orbit” on a smaller scale.

Give them the address and go from there. Every city is different on how they proceed. Our city doesn't ask for names. They focus on the problem and go from there. I live in a small town though.

Tell them the address, what's wrong, and they should be able to go from there.

Your problem is so simple, it shouldn't be hard for them to take care of. a simple letter should get them to take care of it, but they'll know it was one of their neighbors. Nobody would know about their backyard unless it was a neighbor.


EDIT: If they've only been there a month, and they're already letting shit go like that, chances are they've had problems at other places as well, and they're familiar with how the nuisance enforcement works. They'll push it as far as they can until someone forces them to clean it up.

You can see the back yard from the street, so I don't think it's a definite that it would be one of their neighbors... but yeah, I think you're right. :grr:

Just mow the goddamn yard.

Lono 04-15-2011 08:28 AM

I'd be more pissed at ya for not just coming and asking. However, my wife has OCD and our yard has to be perfect so you would like to be my neighbor.
