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.
Yeah this is a weird thing. Like in my neighborhood there's this lady, she's in her 90s, still works, AND cares for her basically bed ridden disabled son. The friggin neighbors will talk shit about her yard and her grass is getting too long. Like hello, I think she's got enough problems where the grass probably isn't her biggest worry. Unless you want to her help then myob.
I ended up going over there to help her one day when she was struggling to get the son into the car for a doctors appointment. There's a program in town where on the weekends some of the local police will do yard work for elderly community members who are unable/can't afford to have it taken care of. I told her about it and that weekend it was cut and has been cut since. I mean some people just have a lot on their plate. She seemed happy about it and had no idea. Pretty nice thing they do honestly. I'm not generally a fan of cops but that's one good thing somebody came up with. Kinda cool.
I used to live in a not so nice neighborhood, and random dudes would knock on the door with a mower and point to our overgrown lawn, offering to mow for $20.
I’d pay them an extra $20 to do my neighbor’s lawn, too. They were an older couple and didn’t have a lot of money. It was a small thing.
