CONFRONTED by Angry Neighbor, DID he ASSAULT me?

I received a message that a family really needed some help. The owner of the home lost their job, is struggling to make the mortgage payment, and code enforcement wrote them a ticket giving 10 days to have the property cleaned up. I couldn't help them with everything, but I cleaned up their yard to at least get the city off their back. A VERY angry neighbor came over and confronted me during this clean up. Apparently a little sleep was more important than getting this property mowed. I actually finished this yard in the dark as it took me several hours longer than I had originally thought it would take. Watch me pull 3 inch SLABS of grass and dirt off these sidewalks. I also had a couple other unique encounters as well while working, watch the video and check them out. As always, we can all "Leave a Mark". Thanks

That neighbor knew they were having a rough time and called the city to complain about the yard? Then complained when it was getting cleaned up. What a colossal jerk. Maybe he should have helped them by mowing their lawn rather than call the city on them.

The angry neighbor was the one who reported that poor family to the city. Instead of helping his neighbor, he gave them more grief.

Tip from an ex-swing shift worker: invest in foam earplugs and have a box fan running in the bedroom.

I was angry at the neighbor at first. People do mow their yards during the day. However, for him to say it was good as long as you were not making money made me if angrier. In todays world everyone wants to think about themselves first. That is exactly why what you do is so important and appreciated. God bless you.

It doesn't matter if it's a paid job or not there is no excuse for rudeness.

This guy worked the entire day. For free!
He could’ve been with his family and having a nice drink without the hassle. But instead, he chooses to help people. God Bless you sir!

F him and that apology. He KNEW the family was struggling and yet still reported them

If you need to sleep during the day, that’s YOUR problem. It’s ridiculous to think the entire community needs to be quiet all day for daytime sleepers.

"and I'm the one who reported it to the city" "I know they are struggling "big time" 😢 Are you kidding me? If you know your neighbor needs help - why do you wait for a total stranger to do what you should have done a long time ago?

Bless you for helping those who are in need! ❤

Doesn’t matter if you were making money or not. You are legally allowed to clean up a yard and use equipment during the day. His work schedule is not your problem.

Didn’t want to hear the noise of cleaning it up but he reported it? Great guy!

[AD-hsbq]

You are an easy going, thoughtful guy. Thank you for your service.

That annoyed man did approach you with a bit of anger, but quickly changed his tune and apologized, even bringing you a cold drink and apologizing again. That takes a lot of humility and it's not easy for most men to do that. He clearly just needs some sleep. You did a great job!

Back stabbing neighbour reported them to the city, then moaned about this guy doing the clean up, what a jerk. Great clean up job by the way, you keep leaving your mark because there are people here who appreciate what you do for those who are struggling.

Nobody is going to do yard work at "third shift" for "his" convivence.... Whether they're making money or not! Great job on your part.

[paulet]

Obviously the complainer never heard the "rule" that you always should approach someone using power equipment from the front for the safety of both parties.

[sartoris]

Very cool that the neighbor not only came back to apologize but also brought you a drink. Not too many people can admit when they make a mistake and try to make amends.

"I reported to the city"
That's why the city is fining them, wow that was so neighborly of you, thank you for making their lives one step harder!

[joanieb]

There are really nice people in this country who are willing to help people. It makes my heart feel good!

[Hoycelolland]

That’s heartbreaking the neighbor knows they’re struggling and he report d them to the city but couldn’t help his own neighbor. How sad. Thank you for your kindness❤
