Lawn Politics

Until I moved to Reservoir I never knew that there are two kinds of people in the world: those who maintain their lawns properly and those who don't. It's serious business. Those who don't are gradually made to feel very uncomfortable via a number of methods. One of the more popular methods is this one:

For my own part, I regularly come home to find that my nature strip has been mown, and I rarely know who has done it.  

Friends tell me it's nice, and that I need to let go of my belief that it's creepy.

I would probably find this easier if not for the fact that I have my own mower and all my neighbours know this.
