This is a rant.
Why have leaf blowers that are loud as f*** and cost hundreds or thousands of dollars when you can easily just get an effing rake? Or broom. Does the job without being loud as s***. Not to mention it guzzles gas and is bad for the environment just cuz Americans are too damn lazy to move their arms back and forth to sweep.
Wouldn’t it actually cost LESS to pay someone to sweep rather than to use an expensive giant leaf blower? They’re so slow, and LOUD. Then again, maybe the sweeping sound is annoying too. Eh, I’m just b!tchin’.
It’s been going on and off all f******* morning. And it’s like 3x/wk EVERY week. No it’s not one neighbor. Several companies on this block contract with several leaf blowing companies. No it’s not acres and acres of land. It’s just a parking lot and sidewalk and a few trees. Not exactly a whole lot of nature here.
I know there’s way more important s*** to rant on or complain about, but leaf blowers are largely PITA.

I see leaf blowers being used to move leaves to an area where they become someone else’s responsibility to clean up. Must be why municipal governments equip their maintenance workers with them, as the model of all governments is to pass the buck.
pass the crap on to someone else? yep, seems like it. pass all the tax and burden onto the masses and steal the wealth and labor of millions. yep, that’s what the rich do to every country.
@Once @eternaldarkness ilmao both of you are so right. government, big business, leaf blowers – the same thing
Yeah I just moved.. when I moved I noticed every single person in the neighborhood mows their lawn EVERY DAY. At any time of day. At least 3 times a week and they hedge trim for about 3 hours a day. I cared at first but I stopped paying attention. Now I’m more annoyed when I try to work on my yard and their stupid children are screaming outside or they are listening to red neck trash on the radio! I actually busted open my face trying to get the fuck inside while they started playing the shittiest music while I was trying to work.
Not my life, though. I’m not into subdivisions and suburbs or city or farm area. I’m into living in woods no annoying assfucks for miles and miles!! I’m just waiting to leave.
I am glad someone posted about this. The thing I hate most about autumn is the damn loud leaf blowers!! I take my dog on a nice relaxing walk and do my meditations and then the nasty sound of those leaf blowers start cranking. I wish those damn things would back fire and explode ( but not seriously hurt the operator ). The sounds of raking leaves is so relaxing and soothing. I agree also about the idiots who mow their lawns 3 or 4 times per week. May the lawn mover tip over!!
Going out with my dog in the middle of winter–so quite, it is quite refreshing to the soul.
Nice Post!!
I wonder if there’s a switch that can make the leaf blower suck instead of blow. That would be great.
Maybe they could make em less loud too, (so as not to wake up the neighbors).
Great post.
