Would this be rude?

Question

I was mowing the lawn, but i turned it off to go inside and get a drink and take a break for about 5 minutes. I need to go finish mowing but my neighbors are outside eating. Would it be rude of me to go out and mow when they are eating dinner?

Answer 1

That's very considerate of you to have thought of that. Most people these days only think of themselves. They do what they want when they want, no matter who it bugs. Just think if it was you, of coarse you wouldn't want to listen to a lawn mower. Always go with your instincts on that, and *pat* for being so thoughtful :)

Answer 2

If you don't like them then mow the lawn

Answer 3

Ask them if it annoys them or if they have a problem with it.

Answer 4

If you can wait, wait.  The exhaust, clippings blowing all over and the noise could be disurbing if your yards are close.

Answer 5

You should wait.

Answer 6

Just be sure to stay far way enough so that they can still have a conversation without shouting.

Answer 7

I would find it rude if not annoying. If you can wait I would, but if you can't its not the end of the world!

Answer 8

No, I don't think so unless you have to go right beside them.

Answer 9

They heard you mowing 5 minutes ago, so they shouldn't be surprised if you start up again.  But if you want to wait till they're done, you would be being Ultra-Polite.
