I moved to my new home around 3 years and since June of this year now for the 6th or 8th time my next door neighbor walks out of his front door and stands on his front porch kind of looking at me or looking away EVERY SINGLE TIME I cut my front lawn which joins to his front lawn at right side. Actually when I cut the left side of my front lawn he stays in his home, the moment I reach the smaller lawn to right of my driveway that joins with his front lawn is when he walks out and stands on his porch(the second I approach that part of the lawn he pops out of his front door). It seems he may be doing this on purpose and I don't know why. I'm a single guy who tends to be a loner and stay in most of the time, aside from that I have no other problems. What can I do about this because its causing me a mind disturbance.

He's likely a control freak and thinks you just might step over and mow a bit of his lawn...
That would kill him if you mess up his planned grass mowing protocol!

Either that or he thinks you are cute.

Watch out either way!!
Remember the guy that tackled the senator because of some lawn and brush issues!!

Theres no attraction. I feel like asking him is there a problem or why do you stand on the porch the second I cut this side of my lawn? If he says its just a coincidence then what? Sure seems hes doing it on purpose.

I feel like asking him why is it each time I cut my lawn on this side you walk out and stand on your porch? If he says its a coincidence then what do I do? It does seem hes stalking me. Any more tips please.

Ask him but in a humorous way...joking around a bit. Unless he's a total jerk, he'll answer in a easy, relaxed manner. Just laugh about it.

It is weird...

Very true, but it seems hes only nitpicking at me because im the loner living in the neighborhood living so close to his wife and grown up daughters. Maby he needs to learn to respect the fellow neighbor. But there are some things i could do to give him the hint im aware of his annoyance. The moment he pops up i could look away for a few seconds, or could ask him am i too close to your property, or better yet i could get away by cutting the grass directly straight ahead that leads to my backyard, then go back there minutes or 1/2 hour later. any other ideas? thanks.

Or you could just say, "How's it going?" and introduce yourself.

What time of day are you mowing?

I used to say hi to him but stopped due to his nitpicking. Usually i cut the lawn different times between 9 am to 3 pm, and there he pops up. Either happened 6 or 8 times so far.

next time he does it just shut the mower off and in your best Robert De Niro voice hit him with a "you looking at me?"..
