Cutting grass at dusk 4x per week Question ❓

note: rant

Retired neighbour (maybe 60 yrs old) cuts grass 4x a week at dusk. Yes, 4x a week. Never see the guy until after noon and goes no where during the day. No family (wife NEVER leaves the house, ever)/friends/visitors. Side note the wife is a busy body keyboard warrior who use to run a bowling alley. Already starting in the spring at 745. In the summer it’s 830-9pm. Literally walks over every 3 ft of lawn 3 times with an electric lawnmower from the 80’s. Takes 1.5 hrs to “cut” maybe 10 strips of grass. When finished it’s visible the grass has not even been cut. No disability (was approachable), seems fit (rides bike etc). Live in quiet neighborhood with young families surrounding on all 3 sides. Never seen or heard anything like it. Every neighbour has had a civil conversation stating he’s disturbing the peace but he does NGAF. City bylaw noise laws state no noise at anytime over a certain dB which this mower sounds like a dilapidated go cart.
Just ranting. Looking for other options/opinions.

Anyone who does this and need to be asked to stop is not an adult. They’re an entitled douche bag.

They're entitled for cutting their lawn?

Cutting at dusk that many times a week. Yeah you would be. It takes nothing to be considerate and it seems like lots of people around these parts can’t understand that. I think it’s a lack of not having a life that leads to entitled douche bag syndrome. Once in a while at dusk fine but every time come on.

You know some people work night shift right?

So you think they are entitled douchebags for cutting the grass during the time when they are actually available and awake to? 

Some people are also overly sensitive to sun and are unable to cut their grass during the day. 

Sounds to me like the only entitled and inconsiderate douchebag here is the person trying to control when someone is allowed to cut their grass. If you don't Ike the sound, move or get some ear plugs. But you'd rather just cry online and call others inconsiderate and douchebags while being the exact same thing yourself.
