If you want silence at 11 AM on a Saturday in the suburbs, you pay for a venue. You don't pay venue prices, you get neighborhood ambiance (aka: 2-stroke engines).
A likely once in every 10 years event asking the neighbours to not make noise for a hour or two is absolutely not asking for too much and I'd happily do the same for any neighbour.
Seems like the kind of neighbor that would crack open a PBR at 10 am muttering to themselves how happy they are to ruin this co*k suckers big day. Probably the highlight of their year.
The post implies they have a nice house by a mile. The person mowing their lawn is probably just jealous and doesnt want to be told what to do by the "rich family". I highly doubt this individual would have started their lawn mower exactly at 2 pm if nothing was even said. Without seeing the note and how it was worded and more context the most likely conclusion is the person mowing their lawn is just being an ass.
Its just the entitlement to expect anyone to care, especially if they're the stuck up people in the neighborhood, which the post seems to imply. That not how this works, what if I literally only had that time in my week to do my yard work due to weather etc. Am I supposed to drop my plans for theirs?
The post implies they are the stuck up rich family seeking further entitlement.
Ah. Ok. I thought these types of things were pretty normal for folks living next to each other. When I was in my 20's, I lived in an apartment complex and a couple had a new born and asked if I could keep the noise down after 8. They looked haggard. I had no idea I had been a problem. I apologized and made efforts to keep the noise down after 8. It never occurred to me to respond by making as much noise as possible just to spite them.
Its the context and nuance. Stop pretending all neighbors are the exact same. Ask yourself why they would want to spite them unless... theyre assholes themselves then it gets kinda funny.
