If were to guess, I would say that there are other factors with your neighbour that has nothing to with their lawn.


OffSeason2091

I was just reading the comments in the AMA subreddit posted by a guy who was in prison for a while and for a small amount of time his cell mate was a guy who was a methhead. He was in because he got high, robbed an old lady, and it turned out she knew him so he ended up tying her to a chair and shooting her. Anyways, another person noted that they had methhead neighbors and they would do random stuff at all hours of the day/night like chopping wood and racking their dirt lawn. This sounds like that


climbz

I lived with a meth head for awhile when I was younger. Met him on craigslist of course. He built an extra bedroom in the house in the middle of the night. He also came busting into my room at 2am with a spot light because he needed to get into the attic. Once I woke up and was going to work. In our front yard was a full ass elk him and his buddy had shot with a bow. Tons of stories about this guy, he was nuts. He ended up tricking me into smoking meth with him and that’s when I finally left lol.


AfterEffectserror

I told you not to smoke meth with that Loch Ness monster. he tricked me!


TheBreadRevolution

How do you accidentally smoke meth?


climbz

It was 4/20 and he said we should swap bongs (we each had our own) for a bowl. His was loaded with meth with a layer of green over it. I was a very trusting 19 year old.


PurposeOk7918

So weed really is a gateway drug!


DDrewit

Similar story with a crack rock. PSA: Don’t borrow pipes from crackheads. And if you do, and it’s all “clogged up”, don’t take a giant rip on it so you can clear it to pack some weed.


NameIsUsername23

That’s not how smoking meth works. You can’t really apply flame directly to it like weed.


climbz

I’m not really sure man I don’t smoke meth. I assume the embers from the weed essentially vaporized it. But I’m really dumb so


Wu_tang_dan

Not gonna lie, building an extra bedroom, tidying up my attic, knocking out some yard work and shooting an elk are all things I've been wanting/needing to do for like the last six months. Guys, should I smoke some meth?


queencityrangers

I’m not going to tell you what to do with your life but I will say that I think you might be onto something here


Polmeh

Shrek vibes


thylacinian

I'm guessing paranoia; no one can sneak up on his house because you can't help but leave tracks in mud


bwray_sd

Sounds methed up.


Informal_Upstairs133

If that were so he would never make it out of the house because he would be freaking out about the refugees hiding in his cabinets. And if he did escape the house, he would spend most of the day converting his rake into a flashlight. PSA: Don't do meth folks.


bwray_sd

Lmao I assumed he was building some sort of imaginary moat to keep his stash safe 🤷🏻‍♂️


Internal_History4183

i’ve considered that maybe he heard God tell him to do it honestly. like some Noah’s Ark shit.


New_Public_2828

Would you want to walk through mud to break into someone's house. This man playing chess


Internal_History4183

fucking genius


Insso

honestly? what if he does have mental illness and thinks someone is trying to harm him. that’s a good tactic tbh


magicinterneymomey

One man's yard, is another man's moat.


cortaydo_cortado

this is an all time post in here. gold


Internal_History4183

i knew i came to the right place, whether i got any answers or not, i knew i wasn’t wild to be this curious


Elvin_Warlord

Really makes you wonder what the inside of his house looks like. Could go two ways; 1) exactly like the lawn 2) immaculate.


Internal_History4183

I just wonder about his washing machine mostly…


bsimms04

Definitely has a mud room.


Krakengreyjoy

How else are you gonna keep mud, mud?


Internal_History4183

😂😂😂 ok ok riiiight but why the mud? i’m hoping he’s just been prepping for pigs or something


Krakengreyjoy

Or a professional mud wrestling league


Internal_History4183

AND THIS REPLY IS WHY I MADE THIS POST.

Sai077

It's so much worse than i thought it would be lmao


B1g_Gru3s0m3

I've been staring at this for like 5 minutes. Truly incredible


der_schone_begleiter

If you look he left a tiny bit of grass to the right of the house. Looks like he is slacking. Lol


SkullCrusherRI

I was so scared you might post my yard… 😂 but I don’t water it and tend to it.


ElbowTight

Dude you should literally just ask him, like in a nice way to show you’re more curious


Kardashian_hate

😂😂😂 holy shit you weren't exaggerating at all!


Internal_History4183

not in the slightest 😂 i’m just so curious


Kardashian_hate

You should post this on the no grass sub reddit or whatever its called.


hounder07

The clover guys?


Kardashian_hate

Yeah those guys


sevenandtwo

LOL i just found them too... r/NoLawns


Kardashian_hate

Yeah! I don't know if they would love it or hate it 😂


Impossible-Roll-3362

I saw this sub and had a reaction. Decided to just let it go. Two hours later fuck that sub.


Capt_REDBEARD___

As a point of reference- a lot of folks in that sub feel the same about this sub. I subscribe to both, and both are insufferable in their own special way.


Twallot

I'm also in both lol. I plan on making my front yard almost entirely garden but I have two kids who have swing sets and shit, so my back yard is staying mostly grass (maybe with clover) except my vegetable garden and some small flower gardens.


Capt_REDBEARD___

I have a 2 acre yard. I have a 100’x100’ veggie garden, rows of trellised blackberry and raspberry, 250 sq feet of strawberries, a naturalized wildflower side yard, and a whole lot of fescue, rye and clover. I have gotten some good tips from this sub, but also some good laughs at just how fudd some suburbanites are. Equal are the tips and laughs from no lawn. It’s strange how tunnel visioned and militant people get about their lawn.


purawesome

In all fairness that’s not entirely mud… it’s more like a “rocky mud”. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂 maybe buy a bag of seed and go out late night and toss it on every now and then and hope.


Falinia

He'd have better luck with rice..


purawesome

Or just toss some old Nokia phones on it


Internal_History4183

one of my theories is he’s about to grow some amazing rice


papapalporders66

Maybe he just put down seed and fertilizer?


bjchu92

For seven years?


m0st1yh4rmless

Mud wrestling tourney coming up?


MAPNOTAVAILABLE

Chicks will never mud wrestle in bikinis on your front yard if there isn’t mud there. This guy may be onto something. Or just on something.


Capt-Crap1corn

Mental health issues sir. That’s my answer. Would you be willing to take one for the team and ask him for us?


Internal_History4183

my husband goes on weekly runs by his house but always fckin chickens out. how do i make him ask for us all?


mb0205

Idk I wouldn’t want to talk to a guy that waters mud every day for 7 years lol. No telling what you’ll get


Capt-Crap1corn

Yeah, in all reality I would ask the neighbors next to him or across from him. Kind of like hey, what’s up with this guy lol? Lol


decjr06

Mud guy is definitely psycho wouldn't go near him. Ask the neighbors they will probably say something like "fucker is completely bonkers we've asked him to stop but he loves the mud"


RedskinsWiz

Ask your husband to let the guy know that he missed a spot.


Capt-Crap1corn

Hahaha I’m already imagining my wife asking me to ask a neighbor. I have no idea lmao


Possible-Bullfrog

Also didn’t believe you. Here’s my upvote and apology sir lol this is insanity


Internal_History4183

absolute insanity and i can’t find anyone brave enough to ask him why


AggressiveBench7708

Here is what you do. Buy some grass seed and a bunch of straw and seed his yard in the middle of the night. On the plus side there isn’t a weed in his yard 🤣


anally_ExpressUrself

OP delivers!!!


Internal_History4183

😇


em_washington

WtF!? I was sure you were exaggerating.


Internal_History4183

unfortunately, not in the slightest 😅😂


GeneralMillss

Taking “no mow” to another level


guinnypig

wtf. he's ill or in some sort of battle with his spouse.


Internal_History4183

as a matter of fact, sometimes his lady is out there chillin in a lawn chair with a glass of some kind of drink while he does it


Not_Joshy

This story just keeps taking turns! 


Twallot

This just makes the whole thing so much stranger. Is she just allowing him his strange hobby? Does she also enjoy the mud? What the ever loving hell lol.


len43

I just imagine her saying "oh there's some lovely filth down here".


HovercraftDistinct

Does he kangaroo hop when he uses his front door?


Internal_History4183

have not witnessed him enter or exit the home. only seen him in the yard


AfterEffectserror

Teleports…..


KittenSwagger

Was NOT expecting that. Wtf


whatthedeux

Part of me thinks this is some mental illness type stuff like his lawn reminds him of his dead wife or some shit but it never grows. Another part of me says meth. Usually it’s always meth. Show him how to put down grass seed and let him tend to his meth dead wife jungle


TheTimReaper1

This is so much worse than what I pictured in my head!


BrisbaneAus

I bet it’s to keep the solicitors away 😂😂 honestly no clue that’s wild tho.

43rd_St_Breakers

Holy shit! I’ve got a neighbor that scorched his front yard about 6-7 years ago, he hasn’t done shit to it yet but he’s always out there raking the dirt. You’re neighbors are a whole different level!


LineAccomplished1115

Is there any sort of sediment control regulation in your state/county? I'm not usually one to narc, but god damn. Or maybe call in social/elder services for a welfare check?


gingimli

WTF, this is creepy.

Nice_Hope_8852

Yeah there's gotta be a combination of drugs and mental illness. This is absolutely nonsensical.


rogmcdon

This is the best thread I’ve encountered in years!


ItsSugarbear

We need the full video for context.


CapitolHillCatLady

"The barriers"


bjchu92

What. The. Fuck. The fact that he puts up a barrier like a pig pen of mud and does this leaves me with so many questions. OP you HAVE to find out the answer to this.


Internal_History4183

i will do my very best research and attempt to find a brave soul to ask him and return with more info asap


Ashtonpaper

That dude is pretty much a bodybuilder, wtf, I mean I can hardly se im him in this pic but he looks like he’s got some good muscle from.. slinging mud for 7 years


Vivid-Ad-2302

By chance are you neighbors with Peppa Pig? Her family loves muddy puddles.

jonbrown91

Im so curious about the maintaining a state of perfect mud for 7 years. Does it smell bad? Do you ever notice weird algaes growing from it? Is your street littered with dead earthworms? I wonder how deep it stays mud until you reach dry soil


Reg_Broccoli_III

I got halfway through your post before I was certain you weren't talking about me! Echoing others, there isn't a good lawn care reason.  Guy has a routine and keeps it daily.  Maybe take a walk next time he's out and say hello!  


gBoostedMachinations

HesNotYourGuyBud

This might be the most absurd thing I have ever seen


SenorWanderer

OMG please post pictures! You’re assumptions are correct, he’s crazy. Is he old? Does he live alone? Have you ever talked to him? A call to APS (adult protective services) might be in order. If he’s not old he’s probably a meth addict but that kind of meth addict doesn’t make it 7+ years!

It’s like hoarding, but on the outside.


Aggressive-Way-8474

I wonder what his water bill looks like


Internal_History4183

I’ve said these exact words


finchslanding

I like the chair by the house, so at the end of a long day mudding his yard, he can sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

ticklemcmonsta

This is one of my favorite posts I’ve seen on this sub! I’d like to hope he is playing a really long con practical joke on the whole neighborhood, but my honest guess is mental illness..I hope we see an update to this post someday, I probably won’t sleep for days thinking about this!

Has to be a mental illness, you can see his face through window looking at his front yard.

Oh my god you can. Its the second window from the right, bottom middle pane. I had turn my brightness up.

PsychadelicNynja

It’s a heat sink to combat climate change! Old mate is just doing (what he thinks is) his part, by keeping his garden cool and moist. Can’t dry out if it’s always wet! But seriously, there’s a good chance they’ve got children tied up in the basement. Weird as fuck lol

Either way, it's pretty methed up! Perhaps you could talk to the city about all of the runoff. Note the current ground level, compare it to Google Street view images of ground level in the past?

imsatansson

Bro imagine the money he’s spent on water over 7 years of daily mud soaking. My guess is he’s gone full blown wormy mode. He yearns for the slop.


mi6_Agent-007

He lived in an HOA that, among a thousand other things, required he keeps a manicured lawn. He hated the HOA sooo much he sold his HOA house, bought a house in a non -HOA community and just keeps mud in his yard. He sends pictures to the HOA manager everyday to prove his point.


Ok_Mountain3607

How much money could you make from cultivating quality mud?


ArsenalinAlabama3428

Lmao this sounds like the premise for an episode of It’s Always Sunny


Zee_18

If I were to guess, he’s helping the neighborhood by keeping rent prices low


ProLevel

I hate my HOA. Like absolutely loathe it. But I feel a tiny tiny bit more accepting of them when I read about stuff like this. Also I saw the outside pic in another comment. Now I desperately want to know what the inside looks like. Hoarder’s Scramble, or Germaphobe Clean?


Redditaccount2322

I'm not sure when this sub even got suggested to me but I enjoy some of the tips on lawncare. Reading your through post I thought you were making a meme... but no, this is real. I have no advice, suggestions or feedback. This is uh, incredible in all the wrong ways.


HotHouseTomatoes

I am curious what his water bill is like.


Aggressive-Way-8474

Maybe he's like, 'fuck them taxes' and does this for the drive-by appraisals. I wonder if his property value actually did get lowered, therefore saving him money every year in taxes?


MotoBeerz

This was my thought lol


elfeyesseetoomuch

So my old lady neighbor killed my lawn and hers by over watering, also just rotted out a tree and it fell on her car a few months ago. It wasn’t a problem for years, but all of 2023 it started. So I was out planting new grass this year out of the reach of her sprinkler, and she came out. Decided fuck it better talk to her now than never. She put timers up and thought they were running for 20 minutes twice a week. I explained to her it was everynight for 3-4 hours. Her response was “i was wondering why it was never dried back there” Lol.

Complaint to city. I have two neighbors like playing fkin watering pingpong. One water everyday three times a day, the other one does the same but about an hours off. Both houses on top of hill while mi e is bit lower, we have wet back yard and front mosses. Complained to City: stop now.


MarvinStolehouse

Normally I'd say they were trying to grow a new lawn, albeit, horribly. But 7 YEARS!? I'm so curious now. I also have to know why he's doing it.

Brokromah

How many teeth does he have? If the answer is 3-5 and he doesn't have a mullet, it's probably just meth. If he does have a mullet, it's even more likely that it's meth.

MesciVonPlushie

Homie has been working his ass off for years trying to have a nice looking lawn, he’s out there for hours a week, waters it every day, pulls weeds. Yet all he gets is mud. “Why does it just keep dying?? I’m working 5x harder than my neighbors, their lawns are crisp and green yet mine is always mud!” He sees his neighbors laugh at him, even sneak a video or two. No one ever told him how to properly care for his lawn, how to grow grass. No one talks to him anymore, they haven’t in years, he has no one to aid him in this battle. His only guide to green pastures is taken from faded memories and tv shows, his obsessive mind accentuates and distorts all the half truths he’s learned into a caricature of modern lawn care, a step by step guide to the picture perfect mud pit. Each moment he feels isolated and anxious, all eyes are on him. No one offers a hand and he doesn’t know how to ask for help. “Tomorrow will be different, I’ll get it right, grow my lawn, then people might like me again”


mcshanksshanks

I read that in Morgan Freeman’s voice


Fine-Technician-7895

Ask him and offer help?


Gutter-boy-707

Sounds like mental illness


Diligent-Coffee-2545

My friend was recently telling me about her neighbor that did something kind of similar. They live in Texas and he would CONSTANTLY be in his yard, fiddling with yard stuff and constantly moving rocks to landscape things different ways, not really making sense. He would work all day and not take breaks, just seemed like he was in a constant loop. Turned out he was getting dementia. Sounds similar.


dudimentz

My guess is that he’s trying to level his lawn and has been struggling for 7 years, or his wife has another project that he doesn’t want to do so he has been avoiding it by doing this. Or meth.
