Embarrassing too as us Canadians are suppose to be so nice and polite and demurring ... that will teach us to be smug and believe our stereotype PR.

Geez, I'm glad that person isn't my neighbor!

I nearly lost 'Maggie' when the neighbor got a little too rambunctious with either Weed and Feed or RoundUp. She was on our communal fence. She did recover though.

That is a mean, mean person. Even worse that they think it is funny.

My neighbor has wonderful roses - but the ones by the fence always suffered. He has a schoolyard next door, and finally caught the caretaker spraying herbicide. They had told him again and again that they didn't use herbicide. They lied.

I once worked in an office with someone who thought she had a God-given right to wear perfume. Mind you, this was someone who'd fried her nose with Afrin for years and had an impaired sense of smell (so she really blasted on a lot of perfume). She knew the perfume bothered me and made me sick when I had a migraine, so she'd spray on extra perfume on days I had migraines. Nice, huh?

I agree with Vics,Riku,Robin,Carol,and Cemetery Rose. It's hard to understand what causes some people to be such misanthropic miscreants. Are they a product of organic brain disease or abberant psychology?
Nickelsmumz, I work in a healthcare setting, among those who have the misfortune to be compromised by disease and illness. Hospital policy: Perfume and fragrances are forbidden. Thank you for sharing.

To be fair to the poster it seems that he's talking about spraying nothing but weeds. Or did I miss something? There's plenty of yards around here where a sweep with roundup wouldn't be noticed--maybe it's one of those yards.

Wichurana,

Thanks. I realize my post probably seemed out of context -- it was just another example of people being intentionally hostile by somehow poisoning the environment of another. I wish I could have worked in a workplace where fragrances were forbidden. No matter how pretty they smell, they can really do a number on me (and lots of people). People don't realize it's a real problem!

Then there are the people who poison the neighbors' pets, or intentionally blast loud music at odd hours. It comes in all forms. So sad and disturbing.

Some people need to get a hobby. When I hear of this stuff, I can only put my trust in karma.....

What are they thinking?

Robert

Yes, but having weeds grow wild is a sort of of poisoning. I have a neighbor who has weeds that keep growing into my yard. I don't condone spraying in another persons yards, but if it's weeds, oh well!

A few weeks ago, I though maybe my neighbor had accidentally sprayed some Round-Up on my summer phlox that's near our property line. Of course I didn't say anything, but just wondered in my own mind. Then this morning I was doing my routine careful sraying of some Round-Up on my bermuda grass to keep it away from garden areas and when I turned around, I saw our cat was following right behind me and then walking through my perennials as she would go in and out of my garden areas. Doah! I felt guilty for thinking my neighbor had been careless, when it was our own cat that was the culprit.

Randy

I would be careful. If the cat licks the round up off, could get sick. Can you keep him in next time until the RU dries?

I'd like to share another story of chemicals. My parents' neighbor had hired some "ChemLawn" type company to do his lawn so he would have green, weed free, Frankenlawn....My parents' standard poodle would often visit the neighbors, and my parents noticed that the dog had developed blisters from walking through the lawn of the neighbor...When my parents told my neighbor about the blisters, my neighber immediately discontinued the lawn treatment. He is a wonderful human being. He loves the dog and was horrified that he had done something that had caused the dog problems. There is hope for humanity.

Robert

Buford, definitely. I am going to keep her put up when I spray RU from now on.

Robert ... "Frankenlawn", lol. What great neighbors your parents have.

Randy

Perfume---cigarette smoke chemical sprays-----YUK YUK YUK

I can't understand people who have their lawns treated and then let their little kids outside.---

"Up with Dandelions--Down with chemicals"---

On potential karma moment will be if the weeds he sprayed have roots that have grafted onto his plants. Shared spray experiences.

I do like the term Frankenlawn.

And my lawn, in places, is mostly weeds. So be it. But in spring, the weeds are where the lady bugs hang out until the roses' aphids are ready for munching. Something good about Hen Bane and other weeds.
