I love this guy.

I have seen a croquet set at every yard sale I've ever browsed.
I have never seen anyone in their yard actually playing croquet.
I wonder about stuff like this.

Buy them a croquet set. Preferably a used one, so the message is unmistakable. Attend their next yard sale and repeat on someone else you don't like.

I really liked it, but haven't played once in adulthood. Maybe it will come back into fashion again.

We played it as kids. I liked "sending" my brother into the hedge.
