most of our neighbours adopt the "smoke 'em out" approach as they seem to be constantly burning all the green waste they can collect...
Seems to be a thing among the folk in Perth hills, sometimes it looks like Mordor when I look down the hill...

This one among many others already listed is skateboards on the concrete drive. (I'm getting old and cantankerous). Sometimes the kids aren't even riding them,they're just sitting on the wall kicking them around with their feet.
And as for leave blowers, whatever happened to straw brooms?

Some people have the balance between noise pollution and visual pollution way askew. How many neighbours will really notice you have a few leaves on the driveway? None? But if you start up the blower 10 neighbours in every direction will know that your driveway is leafless. Maybe that's the point?

Seen a few get upset when their neighbors install CCTV cametas all around their homes that clearly take footage beyond their own boundary, and fair enough too. such a small silent device can create massive issues...

I'm doing a job for a little honey.
The bloke next door has fenced removed in a section to go over &has actually laid a brick path to the hole in fence .
I doubt he is rooting her but he's making one a hell of an effort. .

Not me Pug, my dog doesn't bark. I'm entitled to whinge about the dicks up the street whose dogs do a 16 hour marathon daily for three weeks while they soak up arak someplace.

Eppo, I reckon you would need that blower vac champ, hasn't your neighbour got a friendly tree that dumps heaps of crap on your side? Or was Captain Roundup successful!!



Nah...I'm waiting for the council tree to fall over first ...can't have both die and fall over at the same time can I!


Leaf blower....think I have another which I avoided but not really.

at one stage I considered putting in a half pipe for my son...now that would be bloody obnoxious. Just skating on the small plastic ramps and over the limestone wall is enough to send someone around the bend.

Had a neighbour that 'burnt off' illegally for 3 weeks straight, that was bad given wind direction. Luckily one of my neighbours doesn't mix his words.

he doesn't do it anymore
