No no no................don't go the " if you want it cut, cut it yourself route", If it were me I would take the gas can for the lawn mower put it in my truck, drive to the lake, get on my boat and go fishing. I don't care how much it costs I will never EVER keep my boat at home...............but thats for another thread HAHAHA

The bad part, she's not even my wife...rofl Reasons like this are why I play on not getting married for a long while.

Needless to say, I didn't cut the yard. She apologized for making such a stink about it. I did fire up the motor after her friends had been here for about half an hour though. The reaction I got was just priceless. I wish I had a picture of it. Trust me, if she broke my rods and reels, I'd take her offshore and go trolling with her body parts.

Explains why you got away with it this time.

and exactly what kind of friends are these? Do they crawl to the front door? Roll around on the front yard before entering? I can tell you, of the 7,000  times I have mowed the yard with a mulcher, I have not seen a single visitor drag piles of trimmings into the house. Yeah, maybe the dog brings one or 2 in when she rolls in the yard or the kids doing the same, by for someone to drag in piles of clippings, your lawn is either 3 ft tall, or these people are doing something real wierd.

What you should have done is forget about mowing it, go out to some yard sales, buy an old fridge, and some stained thrown out furniture and put it out front in the yard. She'd LOVE that.

You should have walked her over to the lawn mower, placed her hands firmly on the handle, and said, "Get too it!"

Unless you are omitting certain important details, my initial impression of your significant other isn't a very good one.

You gus sure talk a good fight but people in the know are rolling their eyes at you.

naaa. I have been married for 10 years. The key is living vicariously through other guys who would do what everyone is suggesting he should do. After 10 years and 4 daughters, I LOVE to get out in my yard by myself with a machine loud enough to drown out all the other noise. I also find the chance to run down the occasional doll/yard toy left in the yard very gratifying.
