Redneck Trash
Anne Jackson has some trashy redneck neighbors and needs some advice. Does she clean up the mess for them?
my redneck neighbor’s driveway is next to my driveway. i see it when i leave. when i come home. when i go on my deck. when i take out the trash.
my redneck neighbor has a little planter wall. on this planter wall are several cans of budweiser...some askew, some crushed, some full of cigarette butts, and all piled up into a replica of pike’s peak.
[at one point, he had creatively made a budweiser-duct tape-sticks-cigarette butts effigy using a button with obama's face on it for the head. it was like a little budweiser obama stick figure. which was held up by a rusted folger's coffee can. this has now disappeared, leaving me a little disappointed.]
i am all about respecting other people’s property, but when his strewn bud cans and cigarette butts are in my line of sight, oh, forty-seven times a day, the OCD in me comes out and desperately wants to clean up this budweiser-duct tape-sticks-cigarette butts mountain the next time i take out the trash.




Trashy Neighbor
You can turn in the neighbor to Metro (http://www.nashville.gov/pw/illegal_dumpsites_form.htm) for not maintaining a clean lawn. Possibly the beer cans and cigarette butts are a health hazard, which will attract the Environmental Court to make a judgement against him.
