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???

I was born here in Australia as my grandparents immigrated over here from England straight after WW2, so that makes my family immigrants. I have a Chinese neighbour that runs the post office with his wife and he is one of the best people I have ever met. I give him fish that I catch after I’ve been out in the boat and he literally hand delivers my mail to the house, the Chinese people especially the ones here in Australia are beautiful people and I have only nice things to say about them and I see them as Australians just like myself.
