How Neighborly Are You?

Well tina we have 4 families that live in our little cluster and so they are all considered neighbors to us. They also all have riding mowers so that is not a problem. Right now our mower is broken so we haven't cut the grass in a while and I to have asthma and other health problems so I can't gut grass. No one else has offered to do it for me but one of the neighbors is gone as is my husband and another is 80 years old and has alot of health issues as well and the other one works all the time and is never home so I wouldn't expect any of them to offer. We have someone that comes here every weekend that does some of the grass if he thinks he can get something out of it. I have asked someone to cut it that does another part of the town with a really big mower but they haven't showed up yet. As for me my hubby and I will help the elderly couple shovel and till the garden and whatever they need, as well as any other person in town. If you were our neighbor and our mower was working we would definately do your lawn as well without the need for payment or anything. Although a thank you would be nice!

I'm not very neighborly which is sad because I've lived next to these people for about 8 years now. IT's even more sad because they are my landlords! I live in their garage apartment. I used to live next door with my parents until they moved away. It's funny because I was just having a conversation with my landlord today and he was telling me I can always use their space their yard and their picnic tables and this and that and whatever. I laughed because, I do like the outside but I don't know... I just feel like it's weird to just sit outside. I don't see them much to be honest, aside from coming in and out of the house and/or when I pay my rent. I don't know. I like my neighbors/landlords and again I've lived around them for about 8 years... but I just don't involve myself with them and it makes me feel really bad. I'd never doing the mowing because, Obviously I'm a renter and he's the homeowner. Even so he actually pays people to do these things.

I would mow the grass for my neighbor. I wouldn't be able to watch someone struggle with something that I could help them with, and being neighbors would make me feel like I could mow their grass without discussing it, the first time. If I didn't get an objection, I would just mow their grass from then on whenever I mowed mine. I don't do anything with an expectation of something in return. I get something out if doing things for people and I don't need recognition or reward. So I would not ask for gas money or a return favor. If my neighor insisted on doing their lawn themselves, then I would give them my mower to use with a full tank of gas, and I would offer to do the trimming. Whatever I could do to help, I can always talk sense into people, so they would feel like letting me help even if at first they didn't.

Our neighbour mow their lawn more often then we do.So we don't have a chance to mow their lawn,but they do we are more happy to help them .Because they are such a lovely neighbour that always be there for us whenever we need them.We do appreciate to have a good neighbour.

I am very lucky that I live in a very friendly neighborhood. We all help each other whenever we can. So, I would be mowing my neighbors yard without even thinking about it and wouldn't accept any payment, even for the gas. We are all friendly and helpful to each other, but aren't nosey.

I will lend my mow to my neighbor whether a male or a female neghbor

It probably depends on the relationship I had with the neighbor. If it was an elderly or sick person I would offer anyway. I wouldn't charge them. I use a push mower myself and I have allergies bad so I'm doing good to mow my yard and my mom's.

I hate to admit it, but here I haven't been neighborly at all. I've lived here 7 years now and couldn't pick most my neighbors out of a lineup.

We had a neighbor that had a hard time keeping a mower going, sometimes they would be out there struggling to keep the thing going and we would go over on our rider and mow for them, I think neighbors should help neighbors when they can it makes for good relationships.
