skymama 37 #1 February 22, 2004 What has happened to common courtesy and consideration for your fellow neighbors? I'm all for getting chores done so you can do fun things later in the day, but to me 8 am on a Sunday is a little early to crank up your lawn mower! I'm sure there are other more quiet things she could have done this morning until it was a more decent hour to wake the neighborhood, at least she could have held off till 9! In case you're wondering, yes, I'm grouchy now because of my rude awakening. Better behave yourselves on here today. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #3 February 22, 2004 Want some cheese to go with that whine? Need me to call the whaaaaaambulance for you? I hear ya though. Lawnmowers and leaf blowers and chain saws should not be operated prior to 9 am on any day, especially a Sunday. Wanna really love life? For a while I worked until 11pm, came home to bed and was woken up by new home construction next door at 7 am every day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katiebear21 0 #4 February 22, 2004 I used to hate that when I lived in a house too! I don't know what's worse. This morning I woke up at 7:15 to the cat making bread on my belly. She would NOT let me go back to sleep. That whole paw thing is really cute but not when I'm trying to sleep in on my day off!

Lee03 0 #10 February 22, 2004 Common courtesy and consideration, for the biggest part, was killed off/died in the 60s. What could you do? Walk over and tell her that you would appreciate it if she would wait a bit later next time. If she agrees, fine, if not, then it's payuback time. Find a time when you can disturb her in the same manner and get your revenge. Placing a burning bag of dog shit at her front door step, so she has to stomp it out would also be a good payback, and funny to watch. Sugar in the gas tank of her lawn mower would also solve the problem!-------- To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. --Nevil Shute, Slide Rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aero04 0 #11 February 22, 2004 That happens at my folks house every sunday. It sure sucks big time. He is out there mowing the lawn, weedeating, edging, then blowing away all the scraps. He even occasionally blows some of the scraps off his property, and onto ours. Guys a real a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #13 February 22, 2004 Sorry, I don't feel sorry for you. Move here, we don't have to worry about mowing for a few more months.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

sdgregory 0 #14 February 22, 2004 You knw? I am glad I am not the only person bothered by this. It seems that common courtesy has truely gone the way of fins on cars. I won't even start my Harley until after 11 on a Sunday. The thing is beyond the legal noise limit, I am certain. Monday through Saturday, fair game, but Sunday I allow everyone a day from the noise till brunch. I never run my lawnmower on Sunday (ar any other noisy tool) because I know that people tend to use that as their relax day and do not really want to hear it. But even if I did have to I would not start the mower till at the earliest 9. The only reason I would even do it that early is to beat the miday heat. Eight o'clock is definitely too early for any of that on a Sunday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote I'm all for getting chores done so you can do fun things later in the day, but to me 8 am on a Sunday is a little early to crank up your lawn mower! I'm sure there are other more quiet things she could have done this morning until it was a more decent hour to wake the neighborhood, at least she could have held off till 9! So, she wakes up early to tend to her lawn (if she trimmed better during the week she might not have to get up so early on a Sunday) and this is disturbing? Maybe she should try a weed-eater or some other kind of turf maintenance. Hey....!!?? Am I am in the wright thread????! All these lawn maintenance threads lately have me a little confused... sorry-- I'm done with the personally meaningful and philosophical sigs!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #18 February 22, 2004 before I moved out of my apartment/rented condo in Maryland, they used to bring in the Meixcans gardeners at about 8:30 on Sundays. Well, one weekend, they changed the rotation or something and the lawn below my window was first. I just stuck my head out the window and shouted at them about early mornings and common courtesy and 11:00am for god's sake. You know what? They smiled, said no problemo, and sat down for the next two plus hours. Anyone else here love the term "maòana?" I tossed them a gallon of sweet tea when I went out later and everyone was happy. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpinjackflash 0 #20 February 22, 2004 I've gotta say Andrea, I lived next to my great uncle for years, he fought at Normandy beach. No matter how much I loved him and respected him, I wanted to kill him every weekend. He'd mow his lawn at sunup (I'm talking as early as 6am) on sat/sun. Right under my bedroom window!
