Thanks for the Comments!
I appreciate the comments! They lifted my spirit by giving heart warming laughs! It is amazing how this is a conflict that has not definitive resolution. I think it has to do with cluelessness and will wind up as which came first the chicken or the egg! Situational action is required!

BC-A, I have a neighbor who does not understand the time to mow or location of the property line. Those of us in the neighborhood just....
JimmyA, this is when we need your advice to ignore, yet the sound and sight are challenges to ignore. Confrontation works with him. As others mentioned, it is too late. We have awakened, then see unwanted property changes... then what! Breathe and laugh out loud!

I say there are too many "victims" walking around. What ever became of accepting responsiblity (or at the very least partial responsibility) for the outcome. Or... as with some of your latter examples take a deep breath and just move on.

Early help, it is an enigma.
Too late the early help in most occasions.

OK Doc how does one identify them I suppose a woman could slap her intended on the face and if he smiled it would be time to run. It is a job to judge someone who smiles at
you and is cruel to his wife, or someone who builds up agression over time and acts normally. Oh dear this is the cardinal sin on bloggit poetry to not praise, Sorry but it drives me bonkers.

I believe they were once referred to as "pressure cookers!"
Everyone has a boiling point. The trick is to learn patience, take a deep breath, count to ten ( or eighty, whatever it takes ) and move on. It's also helpful to learn to ignore the rude, selfish, inconsiderate cretins that walk amongst us on a daily basis. Confrontations are just not worth it! Don't take any chances. I've grown considerably over the years, and have been very good at keeping "a cork" on things, and never losing control. Just don't take that last cookie off of my plate!
