I was mowing the nature strip the other week with a Powertorque, and the woman that lives in the next street (straight behind but 1 along) walks past with her dog. As when anyone gets close, I put it back to idle, and waited for her to walk past.
She says 'noisy pr*ck' and tries to turn off the engine by smashing the lever downwards. Now we all know that revs it up - it frightened the hell out of her though
. Dog almost bolts over busy road.
I wont repeat what I yelled back
Appears that 'music' by Katy Perry, etc with the volume 'up to eleven' at 11:59 at night is fine, but a Victa 2 stroke at 4:30pm is uncouth. Go figure
It was friday, and they had their regular party - so I ran a speaker out and played the greatest hits of David Bowie, Air Supply, Elvis, Blondie, Cold Chisel, Wham and Laura Branigan - I figured they have to dislike one of the above.
Apparently 'Gloria' by Branigan struck a nerve - as about 15 beer bottles were chucked over my fence; mostly onto the awaiting tarpaulin (they have even thrown unprovoked before you see).
I go out of my way to help good neighbors, and I go out of my way to hinder annoying ones
