Shit, I wanna fuck up your hedge myself just so I can watch you storm inside and bitch at me BY WRITING ON YOUR COMPUTER!!!! Boy, that neighbor sure might feel sorta guilty if he happens to read your post.
I'm sure you have a good point Anon and most have had some experience with the type you talk about; they suck. The problem is that the world usually adapts to them because too many people are too intimidated to intervene. Well, now is your chance- do something about it!! Send them some letters. Offer to do something for them and then seriously fuck it up. Now that they trimmed your hedges, taking away your privacy, hang out in the nude or do something visually unappealing. You get the idea...
"When you asked me if you could have it trimmed, I never should have agreed."
That's the critical sentence. This rant should be aimed at yourself. Why would you let someone else trim your beloved hedge? You were trying to save time and effort, weren't you? And if you hate that neighbor so much...build a fence.
Seriously, though, why would anybody be that fucking intolerant of somebody ELSE's hedge? Why is it anyone's business what the topiary on their NEIGHBOR'S property looks like? It's not like the hedge was doing the neighbor any harm.
As Mister Rogers would put it, "can you say 'boundary issues'?"
I am sure whe could find someone somewhere to come and pat this poor writers hand over the crappy tree trim job. Call up at OHSU pediatric oncology, I sure one of those parents have some freetime, maybe a farm worker out by Cornelius, people waiting in line at a food bank?
I am sure there are people will real problems like yours out there somewhere. Good luck to you.
