This old lady is at the door and leads off with "I'm not crazy but..."

I'm thinking oh great here we go; she continues.

"I love to trim bushes and I've seen yours is in need of some grooming. Can I come by tomorrow to trim it?

I'm not talking about pubes either, my shrub is out of control but it's also 830 and I'm having relax time.

I politely told her to get lost and don't come back. WTF

I never answer the door after dark, because only crazies come then.

the fact you're not talking about pubes doesn't mean she wasn't. This is Olds' Rule 12: never turn down free strange old lady trim.

It's her way of telling you that you're doing a terrible job keeping your bushes trimmed and that you should be ashamed of yourself.

You're avatar and this sentence begs of the assumption that you're an idiot. :)

Takes one to know one?

Your avatar.

I don't even know how to fix "begs of the assumption" since it's probably a modification of begs the question, and if it was you were still using it wrong.

if we're just making shit up now, I want to be credited with "truth be tolled."

Pics of the shrub or ban!

But yeah, it probably means your neighbours think your yard looks like crap, and she drew the short straw to be the one to talk to you.

How old was she? Maybe she was casing the place. If you responded with, "Well, I won't be here tomorrow..." you'd be screwed. :p

OP is a pedophile and the old lady was in her twenties. But his yard did need some work according to her.
