So maybe go back to the office? Nothing irritates me more than people complaining about their remote work situation. If it’s “driving you crazy” why don’t you just go into the office on Thursdays


Because Elon, my job is 100% remote.

How much property do you have?


Not enough that I can’t maintain it with a rake and good old-fashioned work ethic.

If you feel the need to use a leaf blower you either bit off more than you could chew or should figure out a different landscaping plan.


So either I rake it all myself or pay landscapers to rake, but do not allow a leaf blower to be used either way, or else I'm lazy, wasteful, garbage human. What is your complaint - the noise?

Our town banned gas powered leaf blowers.

Are they actually enforcing the ban in DC? I still see crews with gas powered blowers.

Not as annoying as my neighbor's barking dog. All damn day that dog barks and barks. I cannot work at home anymore.

Try living in California. I have absolutely no idea why they allow it. Aren’t they supposed to be environmentally friendly people? The fumes are super bad and the noise!! Even short term it’s maddening.

I don’t mind the pros but my neighbor who is an idiot goes out to his yard and vroom, vroom, vrooms all day long. Instead of the steady hum of someone just pressing the gas he pumps it. Vroom, vroom, vrooms. It’s inefficient and super irritating.
