It's over. I'm done.
My relationship of many, many years, has come to an end. I just can't take it anymore.
When I look back at all the sacrifices I made, the time and money and sweat and energy I wasted, I'm amazed I made it this long. No matter what I do, it's the same shit over and over again. WTF? How about a little consideration for me for a change? No, that would be too fucking much to ask. Who was always there when you weren't doing well? ME! Who always did all the work? ME! Who took care of you? ME! And what did I get in return? NOTHING. So, Front Lawn, if you're reading this: FUCK YOU!!! Go mow yourself. Asshole. JC

I wish I could make the same statement.
Taking care of my parent's acre property (ya I know it's not a lot) has become a full time job! |

ha ha, this thread has potential.
I should take a pic of mine, I gave up about 2 months ago when it turned brown even though I was spending a fortune in water on the damn thing. So I stopped watering and didn't cut for almost two months. |

Front lawns only exist for appearance reasons. "Look at Joe, he must be upper-crust, his lawn is so big and nice."
Now, a back yard serves a purpose (for those who actually make use of it). Front lawn? Image only. |

My front lawn is nice - it's small and doesn't require a lot of tending.
My back lawn... the dog will glare at me because it's a jungle.

Same here. We have a yard guy so it still gets cut. I got an $869 water bill last month, so the sprinklers have been shut off until that issue gets resolved. The front does look TOO bad, the back is awful.

Good God man, are you running a water park in your backyard?

That's basically what I asked the water department.
I think there are laundromats that use less water in a month. You'd think I would have the greenest grass in the neighborhood but that wasn't the case. All that water wasted and we still had brown spots.

Have them reread your meters. Its entirely possible they put the wrong number in while billing or the guys gave them the wrong number. I deal with this daily. I had one guy have a 1 mil plus water bill. Sadly the computer doesnt catch things like that. If they reread it and it shows a leak, they should give you a courtesy credit if you provide a letter of repair or copy of a bill.
