Today, my elderly neighbor used his snowblower to send all of the fallen leaves in his yard into mine, which I'd raked earlier that morning. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after spending three hours raking leaves, I went to the store to get some supplies. I came back to find my neighbor had decided to blow his leaves all over my yard. FML
Today, I spent over an hour shovelling the walkway and driveway, snow blowing in my face and down my coat. When I was finally finished, a guy started going through the neighborhood plowing everyone's driveways for them. FML
Today, my parents left early in the morning to run some errands, and I thought it would be nice to shovel our rather large driveway for them while they were out. An hour later, they returned from the store with a snow blower. FML
Today, it was very windy and snowy and the neighborhood's garbage cans were blowing everywhere. I had already brought mine in and I saw my neighbor's being blown away. Thinking I'd be nice, I went out to pick it up. Just before I could however, the wind smashed it into me and I fell on the ice. FML
Today, my neighbor finally cut the grass on his front lawn. At 2 in the morning. FML
Today, as I always do when we get a lot of snow, I shovelled the snow off my elderly neighbor’s driveway. I slipped and fell into a snowbank, breaking my collarbone, and she had to call 911 to help me out because I couldn't snow angel my way up. FML
Today, I'm at my grandparents' house to help clear snow. I was making a path to the driveway by pushing the snow out of the way. I saw a big pile and went to kick it really hard. Alas, it was a step. FML
Today, it snowed. Rather than enjoy the view, my roommate had to complain every five minutes about the mentally challenged neighbor shovelling snow all day long. As long as he doesn't shovel it into my yard, I really don't care what he does to pass the time in lockdown. FML
Today, my neighbor waved at me while he mowing his lawn. Wanting to be friendly, I waved back. In doing so I tripped on the curb, fell onto my own trash can, and rolled halfway into the street. He didn’t stop mowing. FML
Today, I learned that my neighbor of 9 years has a kid. I learned this after I knocked down his snowman. FML

Leaf wars!

This a tough one. You state he is your elderly neighbor, so that procludes you from going next door, dragging him into your yard and cramming the leaves back up his ass. So my suggestion is to rake all the leaves up, bag them and get rid of them, then go inside and bake a dozen or so chocolate chip cookies using chocolate Ex-Lax in place of the chips. Deliver them to your neighbor, sweetly saying, "Pleae try not to blow all your leaves into my yard again and to show there are no hard feelings, here are some fresh baked cookies." Then go home, crack a beer and sit back smiling to yourslef knowing that revenge is sweet and in this case pretty damm messy!

Get a plow to plow all your snow onto his driveway

That would work if the war was over snow. Not leaves.

Did you catch him at it? Call the old fart out and find out whats up. If not then go buy a leaf blower and do the same back! On the other hand he might be going senile or dementia which is worse. Because its spiratic. Your worried about leaves??? We just got a huge snow storm last night. The kind that blows the snow in packed! Good luck OP

He was probably pissed off that you were too lazy to bag up the leaves and haul them away. Do a job completely or don't do it at all. Leaving leaves in a pile just creates a bald patch on a lawn that will never grow grass.

I don't see why everyone thumbed you down, fmlers seem to be in a pissy mood lately.

I think you misread the post. At no point does it say the leaves were in a pile on OP's lawn, OP's neighbour blew leaves from HIS yard into OP's. Wow I just wrote OP a lot

Show him it doesn't bother you. Make the leaves into a pile and jump around. If you don't show you care, he'll be less interested next time.
