• My entitled middle-aged neighbors want me to maintain their lawn for free because that's what I did for their elderly parents.

• To give the neighbors some credit, they asked whether he would want to continue doing it, and, by his own admission, he said yes without hesitation. They might assume that he gets the same satisfaction from caring for their lawn as he got from caring for their parent's lawn, because he hasn't explicitly stated otherwise, and he accepted the duty so eagerly. They're clearly not short of cash. They could easily hire someone to care for the lawn if they needed to, but they genuinely assume that their neighbor likes doing it for the heck of it.

• There are a couple of big red flags with these neighbors at this point. To be so stingy that you won't even sell your broken lawnmower to your neighbor who is willing and able to fix it up is just plain absurd. It's just going to sit in their garage for years, collecting rust! They also deserve some side-eye for letting this guy be the sole groundskeeper of their elderly parents' home instead of helping them pay for services themselves. It's nice that he did it out of the kindness of his heart, but they should've been more supportive of their parents.

• They're treating him as if he's some 12-year-old kid who they can take advantage of without consequence.
