Did... did you fix it?

Why'd you do it in the first place? It's nice but a little strange...

This is exactly what I was going to post. It's so true

The neighbor is, probably, older or disabled and unable to do it. I commend your generosity, OP.

It could be that the neighbor already hired someone else to do the job, and that OP was mistaken as the worker...

OP should've made a business agreement with their his neighbor from the start.

No op deserves it, if your going to do something nice for someone without them asking you to do it it's wrong to expect an award, the guy was probably joking with op anyway

2 - I think OP should make one last go at it, but wait until the grass is tall-ish. They can then proceed to mow part of it, preferably into a picture or phrase (take your pick), and then leave it as is for the ungrateful neighbor to enjoy :D

I like the way you think, sir.

I was going to agree with annie but I think I like sir's more haha :D

that's a perfect idea!

15 Haha I was just thinking the same thing. Next time OP can mow a "penis" into his neighbors lawn or maybe even "you're welcome" works too. Then we'll see if the prick ever comes out to say that you missed a spot again. What an ungrateful dick you have for a neighbor. Definitely FYL OP.

I'd put the deck all the way down and then go ask if I missed a spot

Yeah OP you should stop he doesn't deserve your charity

My neighbour used to trim our hedge for us. Because they were joined, so when he finished his side he'd just trim our part too. But we made him tea and bought him beers as a thank you now, being rude will get you nowhere.

I would help my neighbor with groceries if I see them carrying too much and might need help. They thank me and when they bake goodies I get an invite (: It also feels good to help them out since we're neighbors and all.

Since lawn in on someone's property, it seems strange to me that the OP wouldn't have at least asked the neighbor if he/she could do it. As generous as it might be, wouldn't that still be trespassing? I mean, I wouldn't want some random neighbor taking it upon themselves to mow my lawn without my permission.

My neighbor used to mow our lawn without asking. It pissed me off because a) I enjoy mowing the lawn b) he would set his lawnmower to the lowest setting and leave bald spots all over c) we had to look at his nasty ass w/o a shirt on d) he would destroy anything in our yard not picked up. Not saying OP is a bad mower, but not everyone is down with not being asked. This went on for an entire year before my husband & I mustered up the courage (and tact) to get him to stop. My lawn still has bald spots.

It really pissed you off but it took you a year to tell him? I don't get that mentality at all!...

"Terrible" is a bit far, the neighbour is just rude and unappreciative.

I think that's what we call a terrible person...

^ I don't agree
