This guy doesn't want anyone on his lawn, no matter what!

Some people are way overprotective of their precious lawn. They spend a lot of time, effort, and money keeping their grassy space green and thriving. Then, they demand that no one enjoy it. Heaven forbid you step foot onto a warm, grassy lawn in your bare feet and enjoy the feeling of being a human on planet Earth.

People like this cranky neighbor would put their lawn in a museum case if they could.

But since he can't do that, he's got another way of keeping folks off his property

Neighbor yelled at everyone to get off his lawn so I made it not his lawn anymore

Can he get a life please?

People like this are the worst

No sympathy for kids and parents? Why would he even bother to live amongst other people if all he's going to do is scold them? Maybe he'd be happier living in the middle of the forest or something.

I think this person did exactly the right thing, and should be applauded for their efforts!
Clearly, this man is upset by people on his property, and whether or not you agree with him, well, those people are on his lawn.
Is he handling it well? Nope. He's quite upset, and seemingly can't solve the problem himself.
I actually hope that this measure makes the man relax a little. Now, instead of worrying about people tearing up the lawn by walking over it, maybe he can just watch some TV or read a book on the porch or something.
He doesn't have to do anything anymore. The problem is solved, and no one had to confront this guy, either. It's the city's problem now!
No doubt this'll make the whole neighborhood safer for everyone. Good for this person who saw a problem and took action to better their community!
Finally, they added a few more details
