This is a great thread! I hope it keeps going. It is nice to see that there are people out there who still do good deeds. I see the worst of society everyday. Thanks to everyone for sharing your posts.

That is great. My grandfather served in ww2. He passed several years ago, but I remember mowing his 2.5 acre lawn with his rear engine rider snapper. Took forever, but I thought I was all grown up. Lol

When I mowed my Father's lawn, apparently I cut over a few inches onto his neighbor's grass. He would do the same occasionally. She called police.

For the past few years she installed wooden and rebar stakes and rope to divide the property lines. She was also upset that we crossed the property line to turn the mower around. Yet she does that all of the time.

She is a wacko man-hater.

My Father "banned" me from mowing his lawn because I would purposely step over her barriers and stuff like that.

Yet at the same time, she complained that nobody "helped" her clear the snow from her driveway in the winter. You can't get any more crazy than this woman.

There are some people that will be unhappy no matter what you do. Sounds like your dad was just trying to keep you from poking the bear so to speak.

I have Chinese neighbors that did the same thing. We even have a fence up on the property line and I mow two passes on their side of the fence and trim that side of their fence and they went crazy coming out saying to stay off of their property and that I was mowing the grass to low, Bermuda grass that is. On a side note they mow their grass like every three weeks and that's after the neighbors in the sub-division got a petition together that was taken to city hall to force them to mow their yard or the city will come and mow it for them.

To be honest, I would probably ask my neighbors to stop if they were mowing two passes on the other side of the fence as well. But there would be absolutely no reason to get crazy about it.

But an inch or two, how can you get that exact? That's nuts.

My dad's neighbor even paid for independent surveyors to get the boundary lines "exact" yet that woman is guilty of doing the same thing that she complained about.

That's why I live in the middle of the woods and I have no neighbors. I do whatever the f*** I want!

I hear you. I have neighbors, but the property I purchased has a deep ditch marking the boundary like a moat. The only thing I don't like about that is that weeds grow tall in it. If I spray it causes the soil to erode. On the plus side I don't have to worry about anyone else squabbling about the property line, and I have no issues getting water to run off.

It's the only way to live.

I only have one neighbor 1/4 of mile from me.
