关于割草的问题...................

[只在乎曾经拥有]

Agreed on the first point, but not the second point.

Why is it my fault? I was mowing my lawn on my own house, and you are parking on a public property.

The point is, when is it going to end. Let say it was pouring rain out there, muds are all over the place. You come home, turning into your driveway and his car is there. Oops, some muds spill onto his car.

The next day, he leaves you a note, claiming he saw you did that when you turn into your driveway.

Now should you wash or pay for the car wash?

I don't see the difference in these two cases.

Normally a good neighbor don't care about little matter like that. Also, if he cares so much about that car of his, tell him to keep it in a safety box, not outside on the street.

下雨天，有人在街边等公车。 你从那里开车经过。 地上有一大滩水。你知道，如果你维持原速行使，肯定溅那人一身。如你稍微减一点速度，街边那人就不会遭殃。你怎么做？ 你可以说， 他活该， 谁让他站那么近。但我肯定减一点速度。

新鲜草沫含有蛋白质/酶，沾在车上久了，对车表会有损害。LZ割草时, 可以把草沫吹向邻居停在街边的车， 也可以把草沫吹向相反方向。你怎么做？ 你可以说， 他活该， 谁让他把车停那么近。但我肯定避免把草沫吹向邻居的车。

另外，街边9 feet (近3 米) 草地是city的， 不是房主的, 但房主有割草的责任。

To be, or not to be: that is the question.

Which is right and which is wrong? You be the judge.

你们家有装一分钱的罐子吗?如果有,拿着罐子敲你邻居家门.然后告诉他,我孩子愿意付你洗车的钱,钱都在这罐子里,你自己看着合适拿吧.然后你看看他的反应,应该很有趣呦!

这话说得客观!

冰冻三尺非一日之寒.
首先,他们的邻里之间就不是很融洽的那种.
其次, 别人的过错并不是你犯错的理由; 如果你体罚小偷, 你也在犯法, 是同样的道理.

最后说一句(可能有些刺耳): LZ的行为有些欠考虑. 如果不想马上搬家, 就朝和解的方向走.

Okay, now what if you had scratched that vehicle while mowing your lawn? Whose fault would that be?

 

[奥特曼]

很赞同！

特别喜欢这句：“总是拿中国人、洋人说事，说明你没有自信。”

这不是自信自信问题.可能有culture问题. 车子不就是脏了么? 也至于,跑到邻居那里要钱洗车.我怎么也想不明白.那人穷成这样了.

I don't think you even want to go there.

There are so many in life are in such gray areas. The woman who sued MacDonald and won millions dollars of compensation because she spilled coffee on her own laps. Common sense said it was her own fault but high-price lawyers could prove her correct.

And I can go on and on.

I would just say let LZ and the neighbor settle thing up, I am sure they could find a common ground. It is such a small matter and if they go to court and I am sure a judge would have kicked them out of the court room.

Life is such a full surprise, just when I finished talking about the Mac case, I bump into this:

王老吉部分原料不在许可之列 消费者称喝了致胃溃疡_财经_凤凰网

It looks like the culture of suing the pant off you just blown over to China.

Just say you would clean off the grass residual from his car because you were not responsible for the whole car. If he already washed using commercial facility, paid him partially only after he showed the receipt.

Also, mentioned to him that you don't appreciate that he parks his car so close to your drive way or your house, because that makes it very difficult and dangerous to get in and out the house. In fact, tell him if he continues parking his car there then you won't guarantee the same thing will happen because wind could still blow dust into his car.

Also, if I were you, don't admit guilt.

Good luck.

P.S. I did have same problem with my neighbor at one time when his friends came visiting. Their friends parked their cars just a foot or two off my driveway. When I tried to back out, I couldn't see the on coming traffic from the other side. So I went talking to them, and they are, as good neighbor are, understood after you showed them the situation.

如何和解呢？付钱吗？

这事很容易解决.

既然他(她)是写的纸条, 那你也写个简单的回复:

.... (不用说谁对谁错).... 没注意到草末溅到别人的车上.... 如果你车上的草末是我割草时候溅的.... 如果你同意的话, 可以把车停到原来的车位上或我家的车道上, 我用水龙头帮你冲冲....

最后就是不了了之.

：-）你说对了，他的车正停在我的房子前的路边，等我刷呢。。。。
这2天被他恶心着了，不高兴，知道是对面家的车后,惊奇发现他家的driveway是空的,气死我也!

If you want to wash that car, you must notify him or talk to him to get his consent/agreement before doing anything to the vehicle. OR you might be in another trouble.

他(她)也是有气; 你也是较劲. 回过头来看, (就象我上贴说的)事情很容易和解.

(他家没有把洗车的收据给你, 说明只是生气而已)

 

[summer2007]

你如果是因为不喜欢他停在那里,可以和他说啊, 给你们带来什么不便;先君子好点

After that, make sure you only clean off the 草末, nothing more, nothing less.

P.S. By the way, did he/she always leave his/her own driveway empty?

谢谢提醒,我不会给他刷车的--这是FINAL.

You are not a good decision-maker; consult with your husband or boyfriend for a solution.
