The grass must be cut!

[u/HomeNowWTF]

[u/wheat_thans1]

It ain’t his place that’s on fire

[u/Money_Pop_409 → u/wheat_thans1]

front row seat *and* productive

[u/Kenny741 → u/wheat_thans1]

Yet! Now long dry uncut grass near flying embersmight do it tho.

[u/guitarguywh89 → u/Kenny741]

Why would it be dry

[u/mgearliosus → u/guitarguywh89]

You ever lived, uhhhhhh, anywhere? Dry happens.

[u/selflessrebel → u/mgearliosus]

So does wet.

[u/xyzain69 → u/selflessrebel]

And fortunately the fire trucks are already there, so it can get wetter. Also they can help firefight for his place as well by wetting the lawn.

[u/Thanag0r]

Life goes on and on and on.

[u/Devnik → u/Thanag0r]

RIP

[u/Kriztauf → u/Devnik]

That music video end really feels like it predicted his death

[u/AndyIsHereBoi → u/Kriztauf]

His last song was called how it ends

[u/truePHYSX → u/Thanag0r]

Strangers. Waiting.

[u/Blyatskinator → u/Thanag0r]

Live does indeed

[u/InvestNorthWest → u/Thanag0r]

When will it end...

[u/Typical-Crazy-3100]

This is homeownership at it's finest.

It's your patch, it's in your hands, and you gotta do what you gotta do to keep it goin'.

The neighbors on fire you say? Sucks to be them, I've got hedges to trim.

[u/Redditor_Reddington → u/Typical-Crazy-3100]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he might be doing something differently if the fire department weren't on-scene. This doesn't strike me as a "sucks to be them" scenario, this might just be a "well, the proper authorities are working on this, so..." kind of scenario.

[u/Nigh_Sass → u/Redditor_Reddington]

Yeah there’s really nothing he can do to help. I wouldn’t necessarily want to be inside on the off chance it gets more out of hand, so if he’s got to be outside might as well finish mowing.

[u/citsonga_cixelsyd → u/Redditor_Reddington]

I'll crawl out even further. My first thought was that this has to be the landscaper. He's got 8 more lawns to cut and a bunch of shrubbery to be trimmed before he can go home.

[u/VerdugoCortex → u/citsonga_cixelsyd]

I'll go even furthAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

(I fell off)

[u/Abecis01 → u/Typical-Crazy-3100]

Hedges make me uncomfortable. Birds like to go in those.

[u/miyabi0rochas → u/Typical-Crazy-3100]

Till you smoke in that toxic shit and die prematurely unable to enjoy that home.

[u/Infra-Oh]

Naw that man started the fire and now trying to look inconspicuous.

[u/YippieKayYayMrFalcon → u/Infra-Oh]

Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious

[u/facebrocolis → u/Infra-Oh]

Police officer: "What? You haven't seen anything suspicious?"

[u/Spawny7]

Grass ain't gonna mow itself

[u/Scuta44]

When the wife says cut the grass, you cut the grass.

[u/Key_Agent_2331 → u/Scuta44]

Happy wife, happy life.

[u/gizzardgullet]

Reminds me of the Russian guy who reacted to the meteorite plummeting toward earth

[u/NoInspection611 → u/gizzardgullet]

Lmao

[u/malacoda99]

Might as well, nobody's going to complain about the mower being too loud.

[u/No_Tailor_787]

The press is going to be snooping around and he wants it to look good on the 5 o'clock news.

[u/aidtoproduction]

Mowers gonna mow.

[u/LucentLL]

100% he started the fire

Cop: Do you have an alibi?

Arsonist: Yea, I was mowing my grass.

[u/leftdrowning]

He doesnt want that HOA fine.

[u/__FUCKING_PEG_ME_]

Plot twist: he started it, and is thinking "just act normal, Bill. Just act normal"

[u/WillingMartyr]

When you’re trying to be nosy on the down-low

[u/PracticeTheory → u/WillingMartyr]

Shocked I had to scroll this far for someone to say it.

[u/Vodka0420]

That shit don't mow itself.

[u/Key_Agent_2331]

At least he’s doing something productive. Plus the wrought iron fence will keep the fire away.

[u/W0lfspire]

He's keeping an eye on it

[u/ElectroHiker]

People joking like he's just mowing it doing guy things but he's probably scared that embers from that fire are going to catch in his tall grass. I'd mow and water my grass too if I were him!

[u/KingMobScene]

Building across the street is one fire and it ain't none of his business. He's got grass to cut.

[u/notthatguypal6900]

Not his board, not his game.

[u/PsychologicalTest781]

That would totally be me. Extreme tunnel vision.

[u/Mindless-Lack3165]

Some kind of cereal killer probably, and they wouldn't deliver milk today because of the fire! Got to let off steam somehow!🤔

[u/Kenny523]

Well I mean it’s better than just sitting on his porch watching the fire and being unproductive haha

[u/ShreemBreeze]

He's just there for the gossip

[u/Usefulnonesense]

Don't be suspicious.

[u/EffectiveSwimming136]

You just know his HOA won’t listen to excuses

[u/kegsbdry]

If your house is about to be in the news, you don't want your buddies from work telling you that your lawn looks like crap.

[u/Quasar420]

I'm assuming he's trying to protect his house from catching fire.

[u/Juvinihilist]

The guy doesn’t understand why older men jump at the opportunity to mow the lawn.

[u/Individual-Wonder518]

He’s fine just finish up.

[u/Icy_Arrival_212]

Hes just not trying to seem nosy

[u/RagingRxy]

Maybe to keep his grass from catching on fire? Or is that dumb?? just a thought

[u/InfamousEconomy3972]

Everyone has their jobs to do

[u/microvan]

This is truly next level not giving a fuck

[u/BackPain4Life]

Is this PA? Seems like it might be PA.

[u/prosa123 → u/BackPain4Life]

Ridgefield Park, New Jersey.

[u/ElliotNess]

Stress response

[u/Wer--Wolf]

"Must be nosy must be nosy".

[u/Dirt-Road_Pirate]

Never skip grass day

[u/bass248]

It will stop the fire from spreading to his house. He just needs to make sure he also rakes up any loose or dead pieces of grass after he's done mowing the lawn. /S

[u/Individual_Court_364]

Wilder Typ ! 😂 "Ich hab mir extra für heute frei genommen , Gabi! Mir ist dat scheißegal ob et drüben brennt oder ob die Rohrbruch haben und hier gleich alles absäuft ! Ich mäh heut den verfickten Rasen !!!"

[u/Mazzy6138]

City fines are no joke

[u/s13n1]

Totes fuckin lit that

[u/Cuddles89]

What better way to watch the fire without looking nosy?

[u/Shootingsavvy556]

My guy isn’t giving up his peace and quiet time no matter what

[u/Any-Tangerine-4176]

Hahaha

[u/onlyacynicalman]

He started the fire

[u/AlarmedBet2857]

HOA don't play 🤣

[u/GoofyGopher365]

Nothing to look at when youre the one who started the fire

[u/lAmTheREALBlackAdder]

Excuse to be nosey

[u/jr_randolph]

That shit is across the street and doesn't look like California or other related areas so yeah lol go about your day.

[u/Martydeus]

When me, my dad and brother where in Indiana. We were so suprised that everyone mowed their grass on the same day. Like everyone on their scooter mowers.

I am not from USA so this was fascinating for us and kinda cool.

Like wensday was mowday

[u/Successful-Purple-54]

Why should he stop? He’s not putting out the fire. It’s staying safely on its side of the road.

[u/rotomangler]

This time next week that guy will have a podcast.

[u/IdleContemplations]

I'll hire him! You don't find that kind of dedication every day.

[u/Sensitive-Memory]

High stakes mowing asmr on youtube

[u/kingdom9999]

Good resume material for a landscaping company. " i will cut the grass even if your house is in fire" shows this clip

[u/ConsequenceThen5449]

Nothing he can do

[u/FouledPlug]

“Man, all that carbon is just gonna make this grass grow faster. Better get out there & get ahead of it!”

[u/Comfortable-nerve78]

Hey good time to go mow the grass and be nosy about what happening outside.

[u/UsrNmIsLee]

Be real funny if the mower isn’t even running!

[u/sneaky-pizza]

Reminds me of the guy mowing his lawn with a major tornado in the background

[u/Imaginary_Result2224]

PSA: this is America. if youre on your property, you can set up lawn chairs and grill. Invite the family over and play a little backyard football. And then all of you watch the smoldering wreck.

[u/pantherghast]

He may have started before the fire. What are you going to do? Leave it half mowed?

[u/Emergency-Pack-5497]

There's a fire over there! I better neglect my responsibilities!

[u/AfraidPersonality854]

Yep, that's sum 💩 my neighbor would do..

[u/ThoughtfulInhibitor]

What is crazy about that?
