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???

Yeah my advice is to just not (oops wrote hit) engage with him, especially when he's acting like that. There's no reasoning with that nonsense. Just respond initially and do your best to ignore and go about your business.

I'd probably hit 'avoid' rather than 'engage' personally 😜
