I have a neighbor who asked my advice on his lawn one year, so I gave him the recipie for growing grass in The South: plug, tall fescuse seed, fertilize, lime and water. He and the wife go at it one Saturday, and sure enough the stuff was growing like gangbusters two weeks later. We had a nice wet spring and he had to cut his lawn twice/ week just to keep up with. The fucker blames me for him having to cut his grass more than once/ week.
Another neighbor told me when she moved in that she wanted all her neighbors to let her know if her kids were behaving badly. So her 16 year old starts tearing up the street in his car, so I told her about it. Her reply: "I can't wait until he goes to college and I don't have to deal with him anymore." The guy down the street, who is a County Judge, calls the cops for the same reason, and the Sheriff lies in wait and tickets the kid a few times over several weeks. Of course his insurance rates go sky-high and he nearly looses his license. So the bitch assumed that it was me who called the cops, tells her son and he vandalizes my mailbox. Then she has been tossing her cigarette butts on my lawn for the last 5 years whenever she passes by on her way home from work.
Now we know that the son comes by his bad behavior honestly.
