Talk about an annoying neighbor...

[bif]

Here it is, a week before Christmas and my neighbor is having his lawn cut. His guy comes out every week and spends a half hour blowing his driveway clean with the leaf blower. Then he cuts the lawn. Then he uses the leaf blower again for a good 45 minutes. He's got a tiny front lawn and no backyard. And this is in a suburb of Detroit. It 25 degrees out, dude!!!

4. Yeah. That was my thought. When grass goes dormant in the winter, leave it the hell alone

(was what I was always told).

2. He needs Rand Pauled.

3. There were at least 20 leaves on his driveway!

The horror. The horror.

7. 20 leaves? Horrors!

I’ve seen guys with leaf blowers going after one leaf!

5. A crew was blowing leaves from 2 neighbors' yards today.

It was loud, for a long time. But I was glad about it because one of them does almost no yard work. It’s nice to see them getting a clue to maintain the yard (or I should say, the weeds) at least occasionally .

Leaves are still falling here (NoVA) and this was the first decent weather in a while.

8. A golf course

won't even allow golfers to play golf if the grass is frosted. We had to wait 2 hours one day to play.

9. I despise leaf blowers and sincerely wish they would be banned.

Whatever happened to using a rake and a broom?

10. That could be my neighbor

My lawn service came last week and cleaned my 1/3 acre lot in about an hour. 5 big trees. I have allergies or I'd do it. Everyone around me has riding mowers. Instead of all of them mowing the same day, there is someone shaving their yard every day of the week. Or using blowers, or cutting down trees. With global warming, the break from the noise is getting shorter and shorter. I'm surrounded by idiots.

11. Looks like snow is coming your way, which should solve the problem.

Better yet, he might not have a lawn at all next spring if he keeps hacking at it when it's dormant.

12. If we get 1/2" of snow, out comes the snow blower.

And naturally, he has a big, industrial one.

13. could be worse

imagine you worked 12 hour night shifts

I worked on three hours of sleep every WEEK because of leaf blowers.
