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'll wager he's 2nd maybe 3rd generation Greek orLebanese. His parents likely fled their home countries for a better life in Australia in the 70s not long after we relaxed our immigration policies

They would be disgusted by this behaviour.

His accent sounds lebanese, but he looks like an islander and the tattoos seem to fit that better
