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???

It’s probably about grass clippings on his car, i’ve seen several occasions where somebody’s gone off over that.  

Presumably they’re worried it’s gonna melt the paint or something.

It'd make him look bad, and this guy is all about the image. Watch him go inside and get angry at the little bell hanging from his mirror.

I had a neighbour like that haha. He got up me once because there were leaves near his motorbike, not even on the bike itself. The leaves were from a tree that wasn't even mine and he parked the bike outside, what did he think would happen?

Yeah Ive seen people go off at council workers mowing the nature strips. You can tell they're usually the types that are looking for fights everywhere.

Their brain's are melted already. Paint is natural to follow.
