Not really me. A friend of mine is moving out of state. His neighbor has been a total dick the entire time he’s lived there. Constantly commenting on how my friend’s yard isn’t as good as his. Mean to my friend’s wife and kids for no reason. Just an asshole of a person.

What are some ideas for fun pranks my friend can leave behind?

    I live in Japan and I just go over any that pops up with the lawnmower like I would normal grass. Unless you let it get big, you won’t even notice it was there.

      Doesn’t that leave hard little bamboo blades sticking out at grass level, waiting to stab you into the feet when you walk barefoot?

        I have murder hornets and a number of biting insects and venomous snakes and toads. I’m also allergic to grass. No barefoot walking for me.

        That said, I’ve never noticed any. There are multiple varieties of bamboo with a number of different strengths and properties.

        Edit: forgot venomous spiders.

            It’s otherwise fantastic. More specifically, I wanted to farm and move somewhere cooler than Tokyo, particularly in light of global temperatures rising.

                    We definitely do. Especially on the more tropical Okinawan islands (Iriomote island is amazingly beautiful and mostly wild jungle). Even where I live (about an hour north of Tokyo station on the bullet trains) we have venomous snakes, one of which is pretty bad (and was hanging out in my carport one day). The toads are venomous (which is though to be how one of the snakes actually becomes venomous as they eat them) but pose no real threat to humans. We have all kinds of bugs such as mukade (millipedes), biting ants, beetles, and various biting flies and wasps. Murder hornets (technically giant asian hornets) are native to the region.
