My neighbor puts away his outdoor decorations every day (sh.itjust.works)

Every day at about 5pm he puts out holiday decorations (right now Halloween, but same idea for Christmas later in the year), then at about 9:30pm (~4.5 hours later) he brings them in the garage.

Every.. single.. day. Same schedule.

We're talking multiple lawn inflatables, led lights, and other misc decorations.

I've never seen anyone else do this before (especially every day).

Is this a normal thing for others?

I think it says something about society when instead of asking the neighbor why he brings his decorations inside every day, we prefer to ask people online who don't know him.

OP's question is not why, though. They want to know how widespread this approach is - a question that could hardly be answered by the neighbor.

Plus, it's a pretty funny post. I have never in life seen or heard of this practice.

I used to live across the street from a guy who had his Xmas lights string up permanently and would screw/unscrew each bulb.

I could almost see enjoying this. Almost.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
