Neighbor cut my grass without asking!

[rr2418]

My next door neighbor cut my grass without asking me and would you believe it....they'll except whatever we want to give them..like $25? My grass wasn't even high! I came home from work and I thought what the.....??? My neighbors are o.k. people but still I don't think I should pay them for something I didn't ask. What do ya'll think?

[JMarkJohns]

I think you should give them your two cents!

[CosmicCowboy]

Give him $25, then mow his next week and change him $50.

[lil'mo]

Pay them with thanks

[The Reckoning]

its probably the 12 year old kid next door working on mowing lawns this summer to afford his new catcher's mitt.

you miser!

[Spurminator]

wtf? Your neighbor mowed your lawn and asked for payment? Or did you offer first?

Because if they did it then asked for payment that's like the homeless guys who wipe your windows down at a traffic light. I might give him $20 just to avoid a hassle but I'd ask him not to do it again.

lol so they cut it without asking or without you knowing and then they ask for something in return? That's crazy.

Anyway, you shouldn't be giving them anything. If you do, then just give them a bottle of wine or something and tell them next time to not cut the grass anymore.

I'd kindly tell them to get ed.

$25 for a front lawn?? F-that. $20 for an entire lawn MAYBE. Either way its free as far as I am concerned. They will learn not to do it again. I used to mow my neighbor's lawn for free every time I did mine because she was elderly and very small.

Win!

I'll probably give them $10 and let them know "kindly" that I'll mow my own lawn.

[Scola]

Two approaches you can take.

1) You can give them nothing ($0), this way they will know not to do it again. Just tell them that your don't have anything extra money. They might think your cheap but you didn't ask for the service.

2) Give them a few dollars? $10? Downside to this is that it will encourage them and it might happen again. Make sure to tell them it will not be a regular thing.

Your neighbors are probably going through some bad times money-wise. Still it was very sneaky to do the job first and then guilt you into giving them money. I personally would give them a few dollars to avoid trouble but ask them not to do it again.

Do you have a fence? I usually have a "No trespassing" & a "No soliciting" sign on my fence. I would be kind upset if they went into my yard when I wasn't home. Consider locking your fence doors.

Man, you shouldn't be giving them anything.

But, If you already decide to give them something, then I would not give them money, but something else. Giving them money, is pretty stupid, they got what they wanted and the goal of their rude behavior.

Give them a bottle of wine/ pack of beer or something as a thank you small gift, not as a payment. It sends a different signal, then giving them money. With giving them money it looks like payment for nothing and then you will reward their sneakiness and rudeness.

Or promise them to mow their lawn the next time in return lol

[Amarelooms]

Give them $15 or so and say I don't want it mowed again thanks though

Our neighbor does that ... it freaks my daughter out. He even scalped our front hedges which really pissed me off. lol

He hasn't asked for money, but I believe he has big plans for Chris to help him build a deck or some . lol

[Das Texan]

My neighbor is currently building a 3 foot high fence on both sides of his front yard. I think its going to look dumb as , but whatever he wants to do I guess.


I just smiled and told him, it will probably look real good when its done.

[Blake]

give them $100

and then when they try to mow your yard again

castle doctrine

then take the $100 back out of their pocket

[TDMVPDPOY]

so i see he shave ur pubes, did he play on it

[Stringer_Bell]

My neighbor pulled a weed eater on my lawn without me asking. He didn't ask for anything, I think he was just ashamed for me cuz my lawn sucks. I think he wants to be friends.

Thank them but give them nothing. Mowing your lawn unsolicited and expecting some sort of payment is a bag move. Don't stand for it.

[ploto]

I would pay them for the cost of the gas, give them a homemade pie, and ask them not to do it again.

[Borosai]

Give them nothing, but take everything!!!

I agree with the "give him no money" and your "two cents worth."

Do not reward such activity.

[The Reckoning]

how about you get really drunk, piss all over their lawn, and tell them you were spraying pesticide to repay them for mowing your lawn.
