    People who use leaf blowers. Pick up a broom or a fucking rake. 100% of you could use the exercise!!

    • What about leaf vacuums?crazyprick
    • ha - I cleared an entire maple tree worth of leaves yesterday only because I have a leaf blower. :Dmg33
    • it really goes to folks heads, revving them up and blasting them around the entire neighbourhood like a travis pastrana on a 2 stroke - fuckkkkeeerrsssskingsteven
    • For the user, they are breathing very toxic fumes - due to no catalytic convertor / filter on the exhaust. Electric/battery ones if you must.shapesalad
    • Pretty sure we have a law here that all residents must be within earshot of a leafblower from 6am to 6pm. Fucking HATE them.lemmy_k

    • I use both a leaf blower and a rake. Generally use the leaf blower to blow off the driveway. and rake to a point where I can mow them into mulch—hours of work..wordssssss
    • As a kid that had to do all the yard work, my dream achieved was living somewhere where I never had to mow my lawn again. Now the miss wants the country life.garbage
    • I actually just fired my landsdcapers so i could take it all over. Mowed my first lawn last week!

      Those guys would do it at 8 in the damn morning

    • Well if you already have a Dewalt setup, it does blow shit around pretty nicely. I've just no use for it because my front doors are 4 steps from the street.garbage
    • If I ever get a house, I'm paving the lawn and assembling a monster truck roomba.garbage
    • Grief blowers.MrT
