[quote=Anonymous]I don't know whether to say something or let it go. Background: we live in the suburbs where most houses have quarter-acre lots, so houses are fairly close together. We keep up our lawn well, have a weekly mowing/edging service, and keep the yard nicely landscaped. However, we don't use herbicide on the lawn, so there are some dandelions and clover. We deal with the dandelions by manually pulling them, which keeps them under control.

A few weeks ago, we came home from a week-long trip to find a note from our elderly neighbor complaining that she spent an hour pulling "literally hundreds" of dandelions from our lawn, and telling us we needed to put weed killer on our lawn. To be fair, a number of dandelions had sprung up while we were gone due to rain, but certainly not hundreds. When I went out to weed, I found she hadn't pulled them, just picked the flowers off and dropped them on the lawn. Anyway, we ignored the note and continued our regimen of weekly weeding to remove the dandelions.

Yesterday when I left for work I noticed a couple dandelions (literally, two flowers) had popped up and made a mental note to pull them when I got home. But when I got home, they were gone. I looked and the flowers had been pulled off and dropped on the lawn. I feel so annoyed that she's coming onto my property to pick the flowers (especially since we make a concerted effort to address them promptly) and trying to dictate how we should care for our lawn, but at the same time I know this is such a minor problem in the grand scheme of things. Would you say something or just ignore it?[/quote]
