How early is TOO early?

[marine]

Ok,
Friendly neighbor question:

We live in a small residential area with about 30 feet between our houses. This morning at (&(*^(&* 0645 i am awoken to the sound of my neighbors lawn mower running around next to my house.

The fat pig is out there at 0645 mowing her lawn right next to my bedroom window!

Now, normally I wouldnt give two shits, but i have a baby sleeping there too and i hate seeing it wake up early when i could be having wake up sex instead.

This is the third time this has happened this summer.

Is there a unwritten rule about how early is TOO early to cut your lawn and wake up the neighbors?

Also, since I am the kindler, gentler marine now, i avoid confrontation at all costs

Is tying two flashlights to my head and going out and mowing MY lawn at midnight tonite too "over the line"?
Or do you vote i just walk over with the sledgehammer and pound the shit outta that mower this afternoon?

...tying two flashlights to my head and going out and mowing MY lawn at midnight tonite...

I would go with this one...and I'd pay to see it!!! LMAO!!!

I say pound the shit out of the lawn mower. Maybe they will get the message that way.

 

[ajoytoy]

any rules by the home owners association on this?

just "fix" the mower so it wont work for a while....they will get the "hint"

 

[boilermaker]

I vote for the sledgehammer theory.:Yep:

I would go to mowing at night but I would wait until around 2:30 or so to really make the point! I think I would even blow the clippings over into her yard to boot!


Chad, I too would pay good money to be there for this little episode!

Good luck Soldier!

The lengths a man will go to for some wake up sex!!

Too early to mow grass is before the dew rises. I think that is around 8-8:30.

Some towns have bylaws on such things...what time you can mow lawns, start a construction project, ect.

 

[CountTheStars]

Chances are if you live in a residential area, there is some kind of law that says you can't mow lawns or start any kind of building or noise making before 8 or so.
That's pretty stupid to be cutting your grass at the time in the morning anyway cuz the grass is still wet.

I would definitely pay to see that LIVE!!!

Call the police and file a noise complaint. Certainly any noise ordanance the town has would mean 645am is way too early to mow a lawn. And if not, the cop showing up at his door should be enough to give him the message.

Mow your lawn by THEIR window at about 5:30 and see if they get a hint.

8 am in our city. And as noted above. Grass most of the time to wet till 9 or 10am. Steal there spark plug

 

[dawgball]

Could you try asking them to mow a little later in the day?:shrug:

Have you tried talking to Arnold Ziffle?

I see a lot of this, where people have a gripe, but never actually went to the source! She might understand your situation.

If she opens a fresh pack of heaters, and hocks a loogie in your direction, take other measures.


Other measures:


Don't hurt her mower! That would be a shitty thing to do. Instead, pound a railroad spike into her yard with about four inches sticking up. The rattle that the broken blade will make as it sails around inside the mower, is like music to your ears! And, SHE hurt the mower, not you! (Okay, so that is a gray area that would need to be worked over in the courts!)

When a friend of mine and myself did construction for his fathers business and a job HAD to be done he still told us not to make noise before 9:00 am or after 9:00 pm. A rule I still go by today AND WISH EVERYONE ELSE DID!!! Not that I am an old prude and think the workd stops at 9:00 PM, but there are circumstances where people work odd shifts or like in Marine's case, they have a baby sleeping etc....

She's a big woman huh? Hmmmmmm..........good question..............have you tried talking to the veal calf? Can you kick her ass? Tell her you will give her two sticks of butter to lick if she mows a little later........Get a shetland sheep dog to herd her back into the house...........Tie a snickers bar to some fishing line and run the big gal down the street till she falls through a manhole..............stand outside while she is mowing and hold up a "livestock crossing" sign every time she goes by....................get outside at 6:30 a.m. next week and put up a little booth with a sign that reads "Pet the Land Manatee $1.00"...............put up a slimfast booth and wave her over.............make up a pinata in her likeness and tell her you just bought it at Target................hang a cream puff from a low hanging branch and watch the show............make up a fake bottle of sunscreen for her in a gallon jug.........hope this helps

Hey Marine just tell your neighbor the next time you see him cutting his grass at 0630 it better be with scissors.
