Come on CWA, who knows you baby?

PS, what are your thoughts on the study that you guys came out with regarding long-term use of ACE's and lung cancer?

Glad to see Chilledsville is still up there for Greenness. I've had a dearth of environmental issues recently so I'm surprised I've not been dropping

Random thing inspired by Cracked.com.

What would you do if your neighbour -- without asking you first -- mowed your lawn? Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

I wish my school would let off a few days earlier for break. We get out on the 21st :P

That's a really interesting one actually and I'd bet it would have a tonne to do with differences in cultural norms even within the same geographic area.

I'm also assuming we're talking front lawns as well as back gardens tend to be less open. So if I had a front lawn I'd probably be a bit weirded out but say thanks next time I see them and offer to return the favour I guess.

Well neighbor to my north has a ride-able mower and they could not feasibly mow my lawn with that thing due to the amount of exposed tree roots we have on our lot, so it'd be our Southern neighbor (everyone else has landscapers do it), and I'd be thankful, but I'd also be a bit peeved because he doesn't cut his own lawn short enough and it always looks like a controlled mess after he "mows" his lawn. If he did a good job at it, I'd be thankful, but deep down I'd also be disappointed.

I take great pride in my lawn and mowing it. When I finish mowing it, I feel like God on the Seventh Day, looking down at Creation and proud of the work I have wrought, with Dvorak's 9th Symphony's 4th Movement ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHqtJH2f1Yk ) playing in the background.

I probably wouldn't notice. But if I did, I would be grateful. I don't know if this is a weird thing, but in a Canadian suburb, people tend to shovel each other's walks without asking quite often. Mowing the lawn is a bit more out there, but not unheard of.

Sorry Sapnu puas but that's just spam. Imagine if everyone posted what TV/videos they were watching with a one-word comment. If you'd like to talk about anime and have something to say about it that would be different, but please don't post like that.

I knew I should've verbosely said how I dislike anime but don't hate it.
Noted.

I reckon you Canadians are probably just more neighbourly. In the UK if someone scrapes the ice off your windscreen without your permission, it's considered quite a presumptuous thing to do. You'd need to be actually friends with your neighbour to do that sort of thing, not just on a name-only basis.

I'd be annoyed as a matter of principle, grateful as matter of practicality, and suspicious as a result of my general distrust of humans.

The principle is very much "it is not your right to do this. How do you know I wasn't growing long for a specific reason, or didn't have something carefully planned? How dare you invade my space and enforce your aesthetic upon it, you pretentious ass.

The practicality is that I hate yardwork, and at the end of the day, if I don't have to mow a lawn because somebody else did it for me, cool.

The suspicion is that enforcing arbitrary external aesthetic opinions on others is a feature of an HOA, and I will never willingly under any condition submit to, join, participate in, or acknowledge any HOA, nor its officers or their claimed authorities. Unless the neighbor was a good friend (in which case all of the above is mitigated), this would feel like an extremely passive-aggressive HOA-like action, and would stir in me a certain amount of resentment towards the implied judgementalism of the action.

Heck yes they can mow my lawn, I don't care what it looks like anyways and it'd save me several hours of work.

Several hours? How big is your lawn?

Quite large, at least an acre

Same as mine then. I don't mow the lawn unless it is too ugly. Ironically, my job requires me to mow lawns.

Overtime the mowing aesthetics are noticeably different. My dad said that extra row, if mown by your neighbor enough, actually becomes part of their property land.

I'm just imagining a guy with a push mower plotting to take over an entire block of lawns one row at a time. I'd say it's a plot worthy of Doofenshmirtz.

I like my push-mover; it's good exercise. Plus, that's about the only time I drink- a cider as a reward for a job well done. I used to go through a six-pack a summer.

I won't mow someone else's grass without asking them first. Some people have weird lawn rituals they stick to and I don't want to mess up their ju-ju.

But I will shovel a neighbor's driveway and parking space free of snow, if I'm out there, already amped-up and sweaty. It's nice coming home to an open place to park after a day at work. And that's come back to me several times, either when I've been too ill to do my own sidewalk or have come home after a long, tiring drive to find that my neighbor went to town on both our properties after the last heavy snow.

It never hurts to be nice, except when it hurts.

Laughs

It's hit and miss, really. You do something nice for somebody and they appreciate it, but you do something nice for another person and they don't even notice which makes you feel badly, like you've not gotten something you're entitled to.

I just try to be good and helpful for the sake of being good and helpful, rather than expecting anything to come of it.

I do not have a lawn because xeriscaping so I would be very bemused.

Feel the same way. Just ensure they do not mow my flowerbeds, and I am all for it!

if i actually had a place, with land, i would be very annoyed if someone came along and mowed it, because i would not have, it would not have a lawn, but a garden. since much of it would be verious forms of prstrate trees, prostrate cedars, kit kit dizz and that sort of thing, too bad for whatever he/they tried to mow it with. now where i live now, there's only pavement, so while the noise might be annoying, well time for popcorn and enjoy the show, i guess.
