This is right up my alley, but not enough info to really give an opinion on this.  If he’s hiring a new person each time, he may be one of those that just keeps hiring and never pays, then moves on to the next sucker.  He obviously doesn’t care about the lawn so much as he does the letter.  The company doing a piss poor job… half is their fault for taking the job on. 
If I were approached with a lawn with a months worth of growth (whether it was a one time or not and assuming I was taking on clients) I’d request payment in full before we started as well as charge a premium to do it.  That lets me know their serious and paid.  If that happens, guess what? We knock that shot out and normally have neighbors come out and thank us or tell us how nice it is.  If they’re willing to pay the price for that visit, then maybe their willing to get on contract.  Also, there are very few companies I am aware of that I consider to be, for lack of other words, “legit” that don’t put mulch kits on their mowers.  It is possible, said company mowed it and used another mower without one for ease of cutting an overgrown lawn.  But he had the discharge chute facing your lawn.  Rookie mistake number 2.  My best guess is that your neighbor doesn’t pay these guys and looks for those that don’t know better.  Most established companies aren’t taking on many lawns, let alone what I assume the one next door looked like.  Plus, no reason for a business not to blow out the lawn of clippings are left, or go back over to mulch it up  especially the one they aren’t supposed to be at.  They may have quit caring halfway through just to get done. 

I’d just be happy his lawn was finally cut. I have a house 2 doors down like that as well as an employee has a house diagonal from his that operates like that.  I’m sorry you have to be their neighbor

I'm a sheet for the door handle guy myself. 

Waiting for the day they start putting two-way swinging doors in all the bathrooms.

There’s only two places I know that have doors that swing outward to leave the restroom. (I don’t get out much).  I don’t mind opening the door going in.  However, I do feel my penis is probably cleaner than the handle.  So I don’t really wanna touch the door going in. If it swings out upon leaving, I normally attempt my best hook shot into the waste receptacle or I just kick it open.  Sometimes doors are lighter than expected, I may or may not have broken a guys nose that was attempting to rush into the bathroom to drop a deuce as I chick norrised the door open
