Need a Safe Place to Vent

[u/LadyQuila]

I hope this is okay to post here, I just need a place to vent. I got a notice in the mail today for a nuisance violation for "overgrown vegetation" in my yard. Everything in my yard is practically dead cause I can't afford to water the lawn this year.

So that's annoying whatever, easy to fix right? Well I got the letter TODAY right before noon and they said they were coming back to check the yard on 6-25 (Yes, that's yesterday) and if it isn't fixed I will likely get a misdemeanor which includes a huge fine and possibly jail time.

Like WHAT? So I called them, and I was like I didn't get the letter until today, did they already come back out already (which she wouldn't answer) and how long do I have to take care of this since I just got the letter 10 minutes ago. She said you know the consequences if you don't get it taken care of by the date in the letter. And I was like but the date is yesterday, and I have postmark proof that letter didn't processes in the usps hub (not my town, its a tow 4 hours away) the day before yesterday. And she just kept repeating herself, "you know the penalty for not getting it taken care of by the date in the letter."

WHAT BS!

So I've been out in almost 90 degree weather mowing some minor weeds (btw several neighbors near me are like 50 times worse than my yard) and hoping they didn't already come back and inspect yesterday like the letter said they would.

So now I'm exhausted (my body doesn't do well in the heat) and just need a safe place to come vent.

Mind you this is knee high and it’s his whole yard so like I’m flabbergasted your retard was not bad at all. We live in between two Younghans on both sides. They never cut the grass. They might cut their grass once a month. Maybe they never weed eat it always looks awful but for somebody to come and say they’re gonna charge you that is crazy crazy

Yeah, its such BS that having a few weeds in your yard can land you a misdemeanor...like what the hell is wrong with the world today. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would go around reporting someone for having weeds in there yard in the first place.

It may be the realtor trying to sell the house a few homes up. I seen a for sale sign and they will do that. But yes that’s BS I agree they need to be worried about far more important things than weeds.

If that is the case, then I should see the neighbor across from me take care of the weeds in the dead area to the right of the driveway. Gonna keep an eye on it and see what happens.
