If white lights at Christmas is your “red flag” I can only assume you’re someone’s nightmare neighbor.

DP. I give anyone with those warm white LEDs the side eye.

LED Xmas lights are the worst. LED anything is really.

There's a difference between having a nice looking house and being psychotic about a lawn and spraying it with chemicals. Anytime you see two houses where there is a huge difference in lawn color, going in a straight line along the property line, you know the one with the unnatural green side is unhinged.

Curious as to what your yard looks like.

Just normal grass. Not surreal green.

Is it hard to understand that a lawn that has very obviously been doused in poisons is very different from a lawn that looks perfectly fine but may have a stray weed or two here or there?

There is at least one person here who seems to think that the any lawn that doesn’t have poisons applied regularly must be a yard of mud and weeds. They apparently cannot conceive that it is possible to have a nice enough yard without poisoning weeds and bees.

If God wanted to use LEDs, he wouldn't have invented candles!

Mine is 50% weeds.

People on the block who fill the driveway and front yard with random junk. Piles of it. And leave it there for 3 years.

To the extent that you consider it a red flag in a neighbor?

I don’t think you know what “psychotic” means.

I'm wondering if the immediate neighbors who have had their house on the market for months now asked him to swap it out.

Not sure if the Eagles gear is going to make him seem more or less like a douche than the Trump gear

Curious what it is you prefer over lovely warm white lights.

My neighbors have a two car garage, a giant frying pan shaped driveway that easily can accommodate 3-4 cars minimum and 5 cars for 2 drivers (they’re empty nesters so no kids) and they refuse to park any in their garage or driveway. INSTEAD they park their cars, strategically spaced just a little too far apart (so no one can try to park in between any of them) on the street directly in front of my driveway.

These people live across the street from me, so whenever you leave my driveway (backing out or driving straight) you almost hit their car. Every time. The people that sold us the house told us they’d hit their cars twice.

We have asked them to please not park directly in front of the driveway so we can get in and out. And we cannot park on the street on our side of the street because there is only parking allowed on one side (the neighbor’s side) because the street is so narrow. So we must use our driveway.

We now have a teen driver, and after 15 years of living here we have asked them, politely again, and they said no. They’ve become famous on the street for being difficult for absolutely no reason. They just insufferable.

Seeing the shape of a person, a shadow, standing at the window facing my house.

Stabbing my tires.

Growing lawn to 3 feet of weeds.

No trash collection.

Making special needs roomers carry trash half mile uphill to dump it because they have no trash collection, and are mean.

Holes in roof and bay window falling off.

Gutter falling off onto the lawn.
