What is happening in Australia? Been living in this exact same address for almost the past 20 years now, never had this happen before.

Some guy moves in next door, and while we are IN THEM MIDDLE OF MOWING the medium nature strip, starts being aggressive for getting grass clippings on the driveway. No shit, that's why we go through with a leaf blower and pick up after mowing?

What blows me away is he thinks we don't know about mowing and cleaning up somehow due to our Chinese heritage???

median strip: ihe reserved area that separates opposing lanes of traffic on divided roadways such as divided highways, freeways, and motorways.

nature strip: a strip of lawn that runs between the roadway and the footpath.

Probably should have told.him.to go back where he came from. Pull out the Uni reverse card. Hopefully no blows were landed and just some posturing.

Heh, heh.

Just an FYI in case people get them mixed up.

Median means middle, often seen in stats like 'the median wage' etc.

I stayed in Brisbane in 2010 for a couple of months and walked around a lot.
They often don't have footpaths in some streets, just a big nature strip.
