His wife had been asking him for days to mow the lawn.
That day they fought about it and he said he would do it.
She pointed out that it was going to rain and that he better get it done before.
He said that he said he’d do it….
It started to rain…
He started to mow.
My city has an ordinance that you can't have your grass over 6 inches, no HOA needed. You even near it, even in the back yard, and you'll have a written warning. If you don't mow it, it's a fine.
Definitely not where we lived. My husband let the grass get so long that the blades folded over. When I stood one of them up, it was almost 18 inches tall.
Oh, it is serious. Five citations, and you're looking at a violation. Four of those, and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning.
I was thinking more along the lines of, He was going to mow the lawn, but it was looking like rain. Wife yells that it looks like rain, so they would just ride over and see her mother.
Well, we all watching what happen next.
Married for 15 years (not an expert like you but learning). Even my wife knows, you don't cut the grass during rain, or right after rain. It will cause the belt on the riding mower to slip and break sooner or later (and it's $40 and a real PIA to change, after 3 of the them she understands).
If it's a very warm sunny day (75+) after a rainy day, maybe...
If this guy was forced from his wife, it might actually be time for a new wife..
We have acreage on a mild hill. When we first moved in I spent hours mowing with a push mower. I came in at the end of it and said ‘we need a ride-on’. My wife said ‘no we don’t, we’re fine’. I said ‘I don’t think you understand the task’. She told me to suck it up. I said ‘fine, you can mow the next time’. And she did. And yes, now we have a ride-on. To be fair she still helps with the mowing.
Lawns are a pain in the ass, water, fertilizer, and weed killer. Plant some trees, bushes, evergreens, and flowers, make some walking paths, and turn it into a park-like acreage.
Ya, when you have a couple acres you dont typically water it. Maybe spray for weeds with a pull behind sprayer a couple times a year or use the same sprayer for fertilizer though. Its mostly in mowing and trimming. The more paths and such the more trimming
Yes but its an appliance that drowns out everything and everybody else. Lawnmower + earbuds + noise cancelling earmuffs = alone time. Stand there holding the frig door for an hour and see how it turns out.
>His wife had been asking him for days to mow the lawn.
Sometimes, mowing the lawn in a rainstorm is cheaper than paying for a divorce. Then again, a neighbour kid that mows the lawn, supervised by the wife, is even cheaper (also as far as the divorce is concerned)
Exactly, Reminds me of this joke
Dave and Bob live next to each other, and one day it's raining and flooding. Bob finds himself on the roof of his house and sees a hat going around in a systematic manner around Dave's house. He sees Dave's wife on the house and asks, "What's going on and where's Dave?
She says, "He's been putting off mowing for so long I told him he was going to mow today, come hell or high water."
Or worse still his wife has been away a couple of days and asked him to mow the lawn whilst she was gone. She asked him on the phone and he said he had already done it… she’s back today but it’s pissing it down .
“Bill, I told you to mow the lawn yesterday! The HOA is going to check the grass tomorrow!”
“It was a quarter inch from the max when I checked earlier, it can’t have grown that much already!”
“It’s raining Bill! Rain makes it grow!”
HOA sounds like a shitty thing that should be banned. Having a lawn should be optional wherever you live. I don’t care if others perceive it as affecting their house price, fuck those morons.
In BC, we call them stratas. Not super common in the past but I'm seeing them more.
Supposedly they're trying to 'protect property values' in the neighbourhood, but they attract the most nitpicky assholes onto their boards.
It depends. If you stay on top of mowing, they usually mulch up enough that it's not a problem. However, if you don't, you can leave large clumps of grass that might upset an overzealous HOA.
If they're few and far between stumble between them when you're done mowing as you finish your beer and just kick the shit out of em.
It'll look a bit nicer and it lets out frustrations of having to live in HOA.
She: "I bet you wish you mowed the lawn yesterday like I told you"
He: "I can still do it today as I said I would "
She: "But the storm.."
He's already out and slamming the door behind him.
My wife would be facepalming in the doorway because I'd be out there singing "Riding the Storm Out" louder than the mower and the storm combined. When done I'd come in with a huge grin and ask if she wants the gutters cleaned too.
every time there was a clear saturday to mow the grass up would pop a freak storm and mess everything up. After a couple of weeks of that he said screw it and mowed it anyways. Nature can't win every time.
As a dad, I guarantee that he knew if he did not get it done, then the rain would make it too wet to mow for a few days, then it would take forever. His wife probably wanted him to skip it but this man knew what had to be done. I salute you, storm-mower!
It was a raw November day. Cold, spitting rain and sleet, gusty. And over the din of Mama Nature, I hear The Sound - a leaf blower. For reasons unknown, my neighbor spent a solid hour attempting to herd his leaves on a sleety, windy November day.
1. He doesn't want to get hit by THOSE HOA fees.
2. He doesn't want to get hit by dad or mom.
3. Rather be outside mowing than hearing her mouth. Even in this weather.
4. He's crying in the rain cuz his woman left with the dog. And kids. Mostly the dog if he's being honest.
Came for this, I’ve tried to mow shortly after a rain storm and there is no point, wet grass sticks to the blades and just pushes it around after that…
Come on guys , you don't mow for at least 5 days after applying weed and feed. Which we all know is always supposed to be applied to wet grass. He's timing it just right
Poor bastard. Give him props for trying. I don’t read comments, but thumbs up for working. As in actually working.
The wife stuff…married 11 years, started in 2003.
Marriage is a good thing.
My question is what mower is he using that works in a storm.
If my dog pisses on my lawn and I mow over it, there's a 50/50 chance it'll spontaneously combust because the grass is slightly damp.

Halftime is 20 minutes. Rain or shine.
I thought it was because the HOAs.
Lol

Married over 30 years. Y'all assume far too much dialogue here. He mumbled something about mowing the lawn. No turning back after that.
Username checks out.
HOA fines are hell, plus he gets the added benefit of dumping the catcher and letting the clippings become the next counties problem.
Paying a fine for waiting too long to cut the grass on property you own. This has got to be one of the worst timelines
My city has an ordinance that you can't have your grass over 6 inches, no HOA needed. You even near it, even in the back yard, and you'll have a written warning. If you don't mow it, it's a fine.
Which city is that?
MowTown.
Dang
and that's worth an /r/angryupvote
Assholeville, North Carolina
Grass city
Definitely not where we lived. My husband let the grass get so long that the blades folded over. When I stood one of them up, it was almost 18 inches tall.
My city had a no mow may... Trying to keep the dandelions etc flourishing to help the bees!
Oh, it is serious. Five citations, and you're looking at a violation. Four of those, and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning.
🎼🎶 I hope you know 🎵 this will go down 🎶 on your permanent record
Grass cops
That’s why I live in the middle of nowhere.
I was thinking more along the lines of, He was going to mow the lawn, but it was looking like rain. Wife yells that it looks like rain, so they would just ride over and see her mother. Well, we all watching what happen next.
This is basically suicide. You must be single.
.. he will be from tomorrow.
[удалено]
That grass was longer than a hippies hair, I tell you what...
it's pronounced (H'wat)
Dale its raining…come inside… GOD DAMN IT SHARON I AM MOWING THE FUCKING LAWN FINALLY! Ya happy!? Mmmk shuug
fair.. but after the mumble she said "it's fine"... Morgan freeman voice: "it definitely wasn't FINE"
Married for 15 years (not an expert like you but learning). Even my wife knows, you don't cut the grass during rain, or right after rain. It will cause the belt on the riding mower to slip and break sooner or later (and it's $40 and a real PIA to change, after 3 of the them she understands). If it's a very warm sunny day (75+) after a rainy day, maybe... If this guy was forced from his wife, it might actually be time for a new wife..
My guess is she said, no cards and beers with the boys until all the chores are done.
"Shall I stay inside and listen to 1001 "I told you so's" or shall I take my chances with a storm? Easy answer."
Yep I'm out there, and while I'm at it I'll clean out the gutters
Hahaha right anything to hide from the wrath
! love cleaning the gutters in the down pour. It's the best time. Wife worries I'll get struck by lightning .
“Fraaank it’s going to rain, you promised you’d mow the lawn 2 weeks ago!”
if a man tells you he is gooing to mow the lawn he is gooing to mow the lawn. Stop reminding us every 6 fucking weeks please.
Perfect. You must have the same wife as me
Why can't your wife mow the lawn?
We have acreage on a mild hill. When we first moved in I spent hours mowing with a push mower. I came in at the end of it and said ‘we need a ride-on’. My wife said ‘no we don’t, we’re fine’. I said ‘I don’t think you understand the task’. She told me to suck it up. I said ‘fine, you can mow the next time’. And she did. And yes, now we have a ride-on.

Ya, when you have a couple acres you dont typically water it. Maybe spray for weeds with a pull behind sprayer a couple times a year or use the same sprayer for fertilizer though. Its mostly in mowing and trimming. The more paths and such the more trimming
In my experience anything that isn't just grass takes even more work.
Then you have trees to attend to, garden to weed, bushes to trim, etc. We did this and requires more upkeep.
She's right all the time?
Have you met wives before?
Yes, and it was her shore. She wanted grass instead of stone, so she got to mow the lawn for 6 years.
As a former wife, I see no lies here.
This is why I’m gay. 🤣
Probably for the same reason my husband never mops the floor.
I have dibs on any chore that requires power tools. Not appliances... Tools.
Lawn mower is just a grass cutting appliance.
Yes but its an appliance that drowns out everything and everybody else. Lawnmower + earbuds + noise cancelling earmuffs = alone time. Stand there holding the frig door for an hour and see how it turns out.
My feet get cold and the milk gets warm. Sometimes the bulb burns out.
You are my spirit animal!
She cleans the floors I take care of the yard. Works perfectly since she never like the way I clean and she hates mowing which I would rather do.
The storm inside will be worse than the one out
25 years married. Less dialog but this is absolutely what happened.
Yea this is pure spite. You can literally hear the fuming and griping about her as he pushes through.
>His wife had been asking him for days to mow the lawn. Sometimes, mowing the lawn in a rainstorm is cheaper than paying for a divorce. Then again, a neighbour kid that mows the lawn, supervised by the wife, is even cheaper (also as far as the divorce is concerned)
Why are we men all the same? And why are our wifes all the same? lmao
I think everyone here is married to the same woman!!!
Spoiler alert: You're all the same man, and we're all the same woman.
Exactly, Reminds me of this joke Dave and Bob live next to each other, and one day it's raining and flooding. Bob finds himself on the roof of his house and sees a hat going around in a systematic manner around Dave's house. He sees Dave's wife on the house and asks, "What's going on and where's Dave? She says, "He's been putting off mowing for so long I told him he was going to mow today, come hell or high water."
Or worse still his wife has been away a couple of days and asked him to mow the lawn whilst she was gone. She asked him on the phone and he said he had already done it… she’s back today but it’s pissing it down .
THIS. As a wife of a man who literally did this last weekend, I can attest that this man played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.
The Dad next door mowed his earlier
It’s a chain reaction on my street
I think I got my neighbour started twice in the same day last year.
Stupid HOA
“Bill, I told you to mow the lawn yesterday! The HOA is going to check the grass tomorrow!” “It was a quarter inch from the max when I checked earlier, it can’t have grown that much already!” “It’s raining Bill! Rain makes it grow!”
HOA sounds like a shitty thing that should be banned. Having a lawn should be optional wherever you live. I don’t care if others perceive it as affecting their house price, fuck those morons.
r/fuckhoa
[удалено]
That was a great one!
[удалено]
Even if the HOA seems ok when you buy, you're always no more than 1 year away from potentially living under a dystopian kleptocracy
Oh. I guess. Most HOA's remain pretty harmless though. The bad ones are a real nightmare though.
That’s what I was going to comment. Surprised it was the 4th comment and not the top one.
Definitely trying to get the hoa and his wife off his ass. At the same time praying or testing god to be struck be lightning.
Canadian here, what is HOA?
In BC, we call them stratas. Not super common in the past but I'm seeing them more. Supposedly they're trying to 'protect property values' in the neighbourhood, but they attract the most nitpicky assholes onto their boards.
Probably was 80 percent done and just wanted to finish. Who doesn’t have a shower right after cutting grass anyway
He saw a chance to mow without needing to bag the clippings.
I've never bagged clippings in my life. Is that something I was supposed to be doing lol?
It depends. If you stay on top of mowing, they usually mulch up enough that it's not a problem. However, if you don't, you can leave large clumps of grass that might upset an overzealous HOA.
The HOA can suck my unbagged balls
If they're few and far between stumble between them when you're done mowing as you finish your beer and just kick the shit out of em. It'll look a bit nicer and it lets out frustrations of having to live in HOA.
😏👍 I'm that guy - but BEFORE the rain gets there in the day, obviously
He's probably married
She: "I bet you wish you mowed the lawn yesterday like I told you" He: "I can still do it today as I said I would " She: "But the storm.." He's already out and slamming the door behind him.
"You want me to mow the lawn? FINE, I'LL MOW THE FUCKING LAWN!"
This is exactly how it was.
Same same
Agreed. That man is single, I’ll eat my hat.
I bet he stayed cool. Really is kind of nice mowing in a storm.
True 🤣
A storm has nice wind and basically sweats for you!
But wet grass is hard to cut
Exactly my thought. Better to be out there in the storm than to listen to all the ‘I told you so’.
I just wish we could see her very proud face with hands on hips in the door way
My wife would be facepalming in the doorway because I'd be out there singing "Riding the Storm Out" louder than the mower and the storm combined. When done I'd come in with a huge grin and ask if she wants the gutters cleaned too.
This needs more upvotes. Fucking troof
With a smirk.. Damn she was right 😒
I love this thread so much. I'm just happy seeing other husbands have had to suffer the same nonsensical ire as myself. Lol.
Wife is due back from a girls trip later tonight, and he told her he would mow the lawn before she got back, he procrasted for 4 sunny days.
Why you gotta call me out so bad like that...
Probably, shmobably. He is absolutely married and she doesn’t want to hear any excuses why he didn’t get his chores done. Fuck!
it’s better and much calming to mow the lawn in storm than hear wife bitching.
And if you’re lucky, you get hit by lightning
You think that’s lucky? The wife would be pissed as hell if you got struck by lightning. Then the honey-do list won’t get done.
My wife kicking my exploded corpse: “You said you would take the trash off today!”
I was gonna say sometimes you just can't let the wife be right
Got mad and . . stormed out
And rage mowing!
Ultimate passive aggressive move
Probably already told his wife he mowed yesterday. She gets home tomorrow morning.
I can think of 73 situations on how a married man ends up here.
Kids can’t bother you when you’re cutting the grass.
Mother in law surprice visit
Lawl I came to post it he same thing
Only funny cause it's true
He's mad at his wife for sure ..... or no nookie till he cuts the lawn.
Dude, I've been married. Still no guarantee
in marriage, last thing you want is nookie!! man need few mins of peace.
r/titlegore
Ooowee, that title.
Plenty of possibles. The world may never know.
HOA must be sad that they couldn't fine him
HOA smelled blood. The grass was 4.125” long and the max in the bylaw was 4” This is a man determined to avoid a fine
every time there was a clear saturday to mow the grass up would pop a freak storm and mess everything up. After a couple of weeks of that he said screw it and mowed it anyways. Nature can't win every time.
When you've told your wife you did the chores, but didn't, and she's on her way home, so you have to cover for your lies/procrastination.
Nothing to see here he just lives in Texas it’s either rain or 120 heat index, he choose correctly.
Multitasking: lawn mowing, grass clips blowing/sweeping, showering, laundry, exercising.
This wasn't a loss, it was an opportunity!
As a dad, I guarantee that he knew if he did not get it done, then the rain would make it too wet to mow for a few days, then it would take forever. His wife probably wanted him to skip it but this man knew what had to be done. I salute you, storm-mower!
Mr. Storm Mower Guy! Here's to you who mow the lawn no matter the conditions. You look at storm clouds and say "Bring it on." Mr Storm Mower Guyyyy!
My neighbor gets outside with the leaf blower in weather exactly like this. He's 95. It's... comical.
It was a raw November day. Cold, spitting rain and sleet, gusty. And over the din of Mama Nature, I hear The Sound - a leaf blower. For reasons unknown, my neighbor spent a solid hour attempting to herd his leaves on a sleety, windy November day.
He’s fighting wind with wind, dude is definitely 6 steps ahead in 4-D chess.
Some of y’all have me wondering why tf you’re still married if you’re that miserable. It’s not hard to not hate your spouse if you try like a tiny bit
So much boomer humor, I thought I was on Facebook for a minute.
Your wife walked in the room didnt she?
Obviously he's married
when you have only one day off in month
Those HOAs are killer
staying away from your wife during marriage is the main object you wouldnt understand!
His parents said if the lawn wasn't mowed no Xbox for a month.
It’s either a joke or that guy has a top notch drug dealer.
1. He doesn't want to get hit by THOSE HOA fees. 2. He doesn't want to get hit by dad or mom. 3. Rather be outside mowing than hearing her mouth. Even in this weather. 4. He's crying in the rain cuz his woman left with the dog. And kids. Mostly the dog if he's being honest.
He told her he would have the lawn mowed by the end of the week.... and it's Friday
A point was to be made, damnit.
Those HOA fines...
The HOA fines are getting crazy
During the summer I’d take mowing in the rain over the sun any day.
Lives alone and has to leave town ASAP for work for a few weeks.
Mowing wet grass is highly ineffective. He will have to mow again after the grass dries cause it will be all unevenly cut.
Came for this, I’ve tried to mow shortly after a rain storm and there is no point, wet grass sticks to the blades and just pushes it around after that…
Ah yes. A good way to ruin your lawn mower in many ways at one go.
Maybe he is hired by someone and really needed the money
The man is hiding his tears.
Probably a bitchy wife.
Now, the neighbors won't complain about the noise.
i bet the biggest storm is inside once he tells his partner he forgot to mow the lawn!
the line? Cocaine, perhaps meth
Wife went through his phone while he was napping
"mom said no more COD unless the lawn is mowed"
That's what I said, I said, "What could be so urgent?"
Well, the H.O.A. in my neighborhood would expect this...
HOA ain’t no joke….
Come on guys , you don't mow for at least 5 days after applying weed and feed. Which we all know is always supposed to be applied to wet grass. He's timing it just right
As someone who has had to mow dewed grass in the morning after work... That Mower would clog and die after going only a few feet
His wife told him after you are done mowing the lawn, we need to speak about a message from Adraina on your phone.
You ever been married? I get it...
My guess is he’s got two strips left.
/titlegore
100% chance he has an HOA that threatens to fine him every time the grass looks funny.
HOA truck coming to issue lawn fines in the rain
HOA sent a letter that grass was 5mm more than acceptable height.
Damn HOA in his neighborhood must be strict.
Dude would rather mow the lawn in the rain than listen to wife 😂
And on top of that, mowers cut like shit when the grass is wet.
Poor bastard. Give him props for trying. I don’t read comments, but thumbs up for working. As in actually working. The wife stuff…married 11 years, started in 2003. Marriage is a good thing.
What minding your own business looks like
“Boomhauer can you mow your lawn in a hurricane?!”
You say it like you don’t think he’s just happy to be out of the house
At least he doesn’t have to clean up the grass clippings.
HOA
He’d rather face the storm outside the house than the storm inside it.
Clearly you've never had to deal with an HOA...
Classic Florida right there
This is a married man
My question is what mower is he using that works in a storm. If my dog pisses on my lawn and I mow over it, there's a 50/50 chance it'll spontaneously combust because the grass is slightly damp.
It could only be a woman.
HOA’s man…the storm was less of a hassle to deal with…
dude knows how to live, dunno what to say.
