'I didn't expect her to react so negatively': Husband's HOA-compliant yard work idea infuriates wife
This guy absolutely despises cutting his lawn, writing, "The sound of the lawn mower makes me wish I could take my ears off like Mr. Potato Head and lock them in a box." But, as this person wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, he must mow the lawn frequently due to his HOA breathing down his neck!
U/Goat-rentor wrote that his wife also can't mow their lawn, due to a bizarre accident that happened in the past. Now, the OP found himself needing to cut the grass as the warm season began. Instead of pulling out the lawn mower that bothered him so much, the OP found a pretty great workaround. He contacted a person who owned a goat named MayMay, and "hired" this little herbivore for the day. At just $20 for an entire day of letting MayMay graze on his grassy lawn, this seems like quite the steal! But once the OP's wife found out, she was completely livid.
Up next, this renter got "the greatest revenge I could have ever imagined" on his landlord!

Commenters agreed pretty unanimously with the OP, saying his wife needs to stop thinking about the neighbors and worry about her own household.

The OP dropped that funny story of his wife falling in a lake, too
"Okay so that story is; her dad lives on a lake in Minnesota. On a hill. He broke his leg a few years ago and she went up to help him own for a few weeks. While she was up there she had to mow his big lawn. He told her not to go along the side of the hill, but go up and down. I guess he knew she was going to ignore him because he pulled out a video camera and watched her go sideways on the hill and ended up tipping the mower straight into the lake, and following it in.
She got a minnow stuck under her clothes, and now she won't go near lakes or lawn mowers."
