Homeowner Says Teen Mowed Lawn Without Asking, Then His Mom Came Over to Ask Why He Wasn’t Paid

In a Reddit post, the homeowner said that the boy’s mom “just kept saying that it was a kind gesture” and didn’t understand what the big deal was

A man who recently moved is into his first home has already run into an unusual problem with his neighbors.

In a post on Reddit’s “Am I the A——?,” the 29-year-old homeowner wrote that he felt he was off to a good start with his neighbors, which included a 43-year-old woman and her 13-year-old son.

However, he wrote that one day, he was sitting on the couch when he realized the teen was outside, “mowing my front lawn.”

“I was confused, since I’d never asked him to and he’d never offered. I went out and politely asked him why he was doing it – he said he did it for lots of neighbors, and quickly added they give him $5 for it,” the man wrote.
