My dad rode a lawnmower to my house today. HE LIVES DOWN THE ROAD. Why not walk? Why a lawnmower?

Top that.

Maybe you ought to mow, trim and edge more frequently...

Yeah, could be it was a hint. Or maybe he just wanted to give you a story to tell.

Nope. We have a new John Deere. It's HIS.

Sigh. I'm sure there is some deep symbolic message he's trying to communicate, but it may be beyond mortal ken.

Beyond mortal ken?
No, but it might be beyond

My mother in law lives a 5 minutes walk away. I get the lucky drop ins quite often! I tried switching the numbers on our house with the one across the street, but she was too clever and didn't fall for it. I guess it's lucky for me she drops by like that since I get all those free lessons on what I could do better for everything! I get advices on cleaning the floor, sewing something, how to know about tea cups and where the labels lead me, about dog breeding, how to bake my bread differently, why I should buy different curtains than the ones we have, how to use our stove differently, why I'm not cleaning the sink right, what our cats really thinks, why I shouldn't like poetry so much, but prefer painting instead, the right way to raise children, which polish I should use on the kitchen table, and many more!

So, if I seem to know everything, it is thanks to my mother in law telling me everything. Good thing she doesn't drive a lawnmower, though.

Perhaps he thought it a mow convenient form of transportation?

I second that.

Not a "fail" if he made it to your house.
What's worse, him taking a ride like that or you not understanding what the term "fail" means.

I ride my lawnmower to my grandmother's house all the time (only because it's 1/4 mile away, I don't have a truck and I mow her grass with it when I get there) but just saying....

Go to hell.

See. The smiley makes it all better!

And by my estimate riding a lawnmower because you don't have a car is truly fail sauce.

How does this elusive "fail sauce" taste?

I have to agree that if the intended task was completed as planned it really can't be thought of as a fail.
Ill advised perhaps.
Wasteful of time, fuel and resources maybe.
But not a genuine fail in the truest sense.

Now if the rear wheels suddenly fell off of the mower halfway down the street...

One man's John Deere is another man's Cadillac.

The ex taught for a while at a children's home (like an orphanage, but also doubled as a school for young convicts-in-training). One of the kids there had earned his admission by stealing a riding lawnmower and then using it as his getaway vehicle. A police officer engaged in a low speed pursuit and caught him -- the officer was on foot.
