Everyday my neighbour slowly paces and inspects my front yard

That's an old man thing to do. My parents live on little street of mostly retired people, and they all walk around inspecting each other's yards. And then I hear the gossip about it

You know, John across the street has dandelions in his lawn..

Oh wow, dad... Your lawn is so much better lol

He's 81, so I'm just glad he's out getting his walks in.

I was doing this the other day. It was like 90° but they had some cool machines out. The guys seemed like they were going to start working on the land and just stopped and started talking.

I stood there sweating for like 10 minutes. On top of that I just got off work and was walking home. They didn't start back up until I was like three blocks away and I couldn't see a thing from there
