Fuck leaf blowers. I knew they sucked, but apartment life has amplified my hatred. -- nm - Qale Oct 27, 12:35 6
- I am like a sniper with mine. Hate the sound so it is on and I am running, then turned back off ASAP. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 12:42 2
  - good -- nm - mud Oct 27, 13:01 1
    - It is small and a lot quieter than most, but still is loud compared to the Emower. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 13:02
- I'm honestly not sure the last time I heard one. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 12:41 2
  - Every Tuesday morning around 8:00am just as I'm crawling out of bed. That's out back of the house, the lawnmower is in front under the bedroom window. -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 27, 14:01
  - My condo development is fairly big. 9 parking lots and lots of sidewalks. An inch of snow on the ground and there'll be 10 guys walking around with - decline Oct 27, 12:56
Who the fuck uses a gas powered leaf blower? We have 1 corded and 2 battery powered. Like - who needs a gas powered one? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 27, 11:58 17
- first neighbour who blew their leaves onto my yard would be getting a snowblower full of snow after every storm all fucking winter -- nm - Boooooooker Oct 27, 12:11 3
  - and not just good clean snow either; I'd go down the road and get all the rocky and icey shit too -- nm - Boooooooker Oct 27, 12:12 2
    - and make sure you pee on it first too! -- nm - decline Oct 27, 12:13
    - Set it low, grind up some asphalt -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 12:12
- Pretty much every landscaping company in the country -- nm* - decline Oct 27, 12:07 8
  - and around here they are used all year round - decline Oct 27, 12:09 7
    - If you get 10 neighbors to put their leafblowers all side by side you can save on renting the bouncy house. -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 12:13
    - not for the mosquitos? heathens -- nm - Boooooooker Oct 27, 12:12
    - jeebus. like maybe leaves are understandable, but... -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 12:12 3
      - IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP RAIN OFF MY PATIO -- nm - neighbor with 20 leafblowers pointed at the sky Oct 27, 12:14 2
        
        do you all walk around in a state of partial carbon monoxide poisoning? It would explain a lot. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 12:27 1
        
        have you seen the sky over some of our cities? Hello Denver -- nm - decline Oct 27, 12:33
    - yeesh -- nm - mud Oct 27, 12:11
- I find them kind of useless to be honest. Like, whenever I start using them I get frustrated and switch to a rake in 5 minutes. - Reagen Oct 27, 12:02 1
  - plus, "The leaves are gone - here's that layer of dust you requested for your car" -- nm - Max Oct 27, 12:05
- Every small landscaping company that works my nabe, that's for damn sure -- nm - con_carne Oct 27, 12:01
- Commercial lawn companies mostly. -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 11:59
I never expected an anti-leafblower movement to become a thing but it certainly has over the past (year?) -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 11:55 3
- It's because everyone is WFH, so they're more annoying. Also, there are multiple people in my neighbourhood doing home renovations - Roger More Oct 27, 13:27
- They're a favorite target of mine! Once we had an ST Poll, besides H, who would you go back in time to kill. I googled the fuck out of the inventor. -- nm - con_carne Oct 27, 12:04
- I've been anti-leafblower for years! I remember an excellent essay, I wish I'd kept it, about 10 (?) years ago. I think it was in a national .. - mud Oct 27, 12:02
If you have leaf blowers going at Thanksgiving you don't have to listen to your family.... -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 11:53 1
- Win/win -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 11:57
its not a consistent noise, like chain saws they roar, fade, roar...with an angry sound, not a rumble like a lawn mower -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 11:53
I have an electric leaf blower but I mostly just use it to clean the garage :) -- nm - kilbooooo! Oct 27, 11:46 5
- Me too. All of my lawn tools now are electric (Ryobi), with the exception of the riding mower. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 27, 11:54 1
  - My lawn tools are all owned by the Parks Department -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 12:12
- I blow off the driveway, patio, and sidewalks after I cut grass. The blower was free with my weed-eater and is far from a beast. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 11:50 2
  - I got one of those EGO battery operated weed eaters too after we got our EGO lawn mower. I think I'm gas free in the lawn care area :) -- nm - kilbooooo! Oct 27, 11:51 1
    - My WE and blower are Black & Decker and are batteried, as well. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 11:53
