Nearest neighbor's 1/2 mile away but I never mow in the AM, simply because the dew doesn't usually disappear before early PM. Mowing wet grass gums up my tractor. One time when it hardened, I had to use a power washer to remove it.
Having said all that, I'd never complain to a neighbor about mowing time even if the houses are on top of each other. Liable to end up with sugar in the gas tank or some other form of vandalism. People are just meaner today.
Better to hear it from the neighbor than from the cops or town.
Like I said - wouldn't expect some people to get it. The only one that has an issue is the one that isn't considerate of their neighbors
Not considerate of my neighbors????
I have paid 100% for a costly sewer repair, that should have been a shared cost.
I shovel/ blow their driveway/ sidewalk when it snows.
I make treats and share.
I talk and have a relationship with them.
I have NEVER and would NEVER go out and tell them that they are rude and to stop doing something they are allowed to do just because it Inconveniences me.
My neighbor. He woke us up out of a deep sleep. A few years ago I told my husband he is not allowed to mow the lawn before 10 AM on a Sunday. I think it's incredibly rude and my parents lived by this rule. When we were woken up this morning by my rude neighbor - I went over and approached him. I asked him if he realized it was 7 in the morning and that him mowing his lawn that early was very rude. I asked him if he had any consideration for others. He pushed out a passive aggressive sorry and walked away. He stopped mowing for about an hour and then started again at 8:30. 8:30 is not much better. Completely clueless.
I would have ignored it, unless it became a pattern. Or if I were offended by YOUR behavior I would continue to cut on Sunday mornings. For the record, that type of activity annoys me as well. I’ve noticed a lot of posters comment on an appropriate time on Sunday. With 10am being “acceptable”. You may have even agreed with that. In my area / Region ( years past ) there was no lawn maintenance on Sunday. If it became necessary you certainly didn’t begin before NOON.
The majority of other neighbors feel the same. You don't have to agree with me. It is my opinion that if you think this is acceptable you are inconsiderate. I understand not everyone was raised with class
You've continually dodged the question of whether today was a one-time event or if he is an early bird mower every weekend. That makes a difference. And that you're unwilling to give this man the benefit of the doubt speaks to larger issues between you than just mowing the lawn today.

Anyone who sleeps until freakin' 10am on any day of the week is either ghetto trash or white trash. People who works nights or off-shift are the only exception to the rule. High quality people always wake up and get going within one hour of sunrise seven days a week, anyone who fails to do so is trashy.
Ha ha, I wouldn't go that far! but realistically, most adults don't sleep past 8 or 9 am unless they are sick or on an alternative sleep schedule. The idea that everyone else needs to conform with the extreme outliers among us just isn't realistic.

My ex-neighbor did the same thing, an elderly retired man. He would mow the lawn at 8am sharp every Saturday morning unless it was raining. Kicker to this story is at the time I worked 2nd shift and would usually get home after 12 midnight on Fridays. Usually stayed awake until 3am since its difficult to go to sleep right away after working.
Asked him if he could start later, but no dice. My passive aggressive response was to warm up my motorcycle in my driveway after 12 midnight then go riding. However, the irony was lost on him and he continued mowing the lawn at 8am.
Well thanks for the good and strange responses. Have a great Sunday!
Thanks for visiting, happy Sunday!
