So when it comes to neighbors that are courteous and personable, I really can't complain. But when it comes to neighbors that actually care about what their yards look like, or understand the concept of pride in ownership, we really drew the short straw.
We are literally surrounded. On both sides, they have allowed weeds in their front yards to grow... to... well, my estimation (without exaggeration) would be... 5 feet high. The neighbor on the left's lawn is on the verge of dead, and we're lucky if the neighbor to the right mows his lawn once a month.
That doesn't even start to explain the backyard. In fact, I was sure I couldn't put it into words, so I went ahead and took some photos... From my backyard, of course:
No, those aren't small trees. In fact NTTL's weeds are TALLER than his tree. Now that is a feet within itself. We have their weeds starting to creep under our fence. Matt went through and sprayed weed killer to stop the invasion.
And you would think this was enough. You might think this is where the neighbor-bashing ends... But this is truly a sight I couldn't pass up. Just recently, Neighbor-to-the-Left hung what looks like coat hangers drilled into a wooden spoon. It is literally taped to the side of his house, in front, for the world to see.

Who does this?
