I’ve noticed some people treat their lawn like a carpet. If there is 1 leaf, that’s clutter that needs to be picked up. If a tire touches their grass, it’s like you got oil on their rug. They’ve usually manicured their lawn into 1 species monoculture grass with zero weeds and zero bugs. Which because of this lack of diversity, it is now incredibly fragile.
For many people, their yard is like a room of the house. And they expect people to treat it with a living room level of respect. They’ve put a lot of effort into creating this fragile monoculture grass, and they’re protective of it.
Maybe you can tell from the way the question is phrased, but I view the outdoors as different than indoors. If someone misses my driveway and leaves a mark in the grass, I don’t care because I know the grass will grow back eventually. If leaves fall on my yard, I don’t pick them up. These problems tend to solve themselves. At least that’s my view. But I’ve noticed a lot of people see it the other way.
Definitely not, in fact it’s my biggest pet peeve. I hate when people (or HOAs) get chemical bullshit sprayed all over their lawn, which they then scalp with their lawnmower every week, and then it always dies anyways around mid to late summer once it starts getting hot and dry. Meanwhile the people who don’t give a shit about their yard always have green grass. It’s almost like thicker vegetation and biodiversity are good for the environment. Like who could have ever guessed?
