Perhaps, if there’s a next time, you should consider being nicer to folks helping others for free? You’ll get farther being nicer”.

      Totally out of order. Language. The sense of entitlement from that one is totally OTT. No rights whatsoever to question why you are helping someone else at all; completely your business. When I was pregnant and had just broken up with my ex, I moved out and had a fractured ankle to deal with soon after on crutches (fortunately left and not right so I could still drive) 7 months pregnant. I did not ask for help from anyone and no family in the state. I paid for a taxi once to collect a few items from a store and paid for a gardener when it was required. I never expected help from any sector, let alone interfere with others going about their own business. That woman walked over to see you, without crutches, so she should pick up her own trash at least. Please and thank you and some small apology wouldn’t go astray either. Maybe she will have a think about her behaviour and maybe get an assessment for depression. I was brought up with the idea that just because I was having a bad day you don’t visit that on others. I hope she rectifies her behaviour and real fast.

      What I got out of that confrontation is she wanted you to feel like you were an intruder, a wrong doer. She started out that conversation with "What the f*** ?" If there was something about her and she was just curious as to why you were there, why that hideous approach? I wouldn't go there myself and help her. If you can't work them out why they have such a negative attitude, then they could be trouble for you in the future.

She may need the help, but she needs more to learn how to approach people and appreciate others.

    Erik, another job well done. I appreciate that you are showing your son the benefits of helping those less fortunate. The nerve of someone who believes they are more deserving of your generosity than their neighbors is unbelievable. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family.

    What a crazy woman! I wouldn’t mow her lawn for love or money because she was so rude! So much for being a good neighbor! Good for you for helping people out for free! Amazing 🎉!

    That fact that instead of getting outraged you are considering doing her yard is a demonstration of your good heart. You are like a real life Ted Lasso of lawns! Good luck whatever you decide.

      ... and this malcontent is one of those saying: "Where have all of the Good Men Gone?" Hell, they ran as far & as fast as they could, in the opposite direction, once they saw her coming. Can you even imagine what any children that she has raised, would be like? OMG!

    There's ways to approach people if you need help. Walking up to someone and initiating first contact with "What the f*** are you doing?" Isn't a good start. Props to you for even acknowledging her and handling the situation the way you did.

    Way to stay focused and have the patience to deal with that lady. Lord only knows whats kind of situation she is living and you were a winner for helping her and the first free yard. Youre blessed and youre passing those blessings onto others even if some folks are lost and not able to understand what you are doing as a free service. Not everyone is positioned in this life to understand how to be successful and being able to bless others. Thank you so very much. Im also a native michangander that moved to Nashville about 12 years ago so I understand and know there are some crazy things going on with some Michiganders and in other states too. Im new to your channel but curious to know more about you cuz youre a blessing and good people.

      If she has a man, he can do the work or get his buddies to help. He is just lazy, don’t help young lazy people. The elderly need the help. Not those others. Don’t help her, charge her.
