I don't know too many of my neighbors, but I definitely have my doubts about the closest one.
He mows his lawn 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes 2 days in a row. And when he mows, he does it for hours, going back and forth over the same area several times.
Sometimes I think he's just driving the tractor and the mower is not engaged. I don't know why he'd do that, but it would make more sense than mowing his lawn when it was just mowed the day before.
We always wave when we see each other, and I have never had any problems with him. While listening to his tractor going back and forth for a couple of hours can sometimes be annoying, it's certainly better than a lot of the neighbor stories I've heard!
I have a neighbor like that. Not only does she mow every 3 or 4 days, but she has to use a leaf blower every few days to blow any dust off the street, away from her property. Seems like she is always out there blowing or mowing. I've had normal conversations with her, and she is a nice lady. Once, she told me, unprompted by me, that she has a compulsion to mow and use the blower that she can't control. Sort of like hoarders, I suppose. Obsessive-compulsive.
