I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.

Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate them more than mosquitoes.

You need to get your own leaf blower and blow back

Just get a pulse jet and fire it up when they start running the leaf blower. You won’t be able to hear the leaf blower anymore.

I have one that I use mostly during leaf season since I have several trees and a bad back. Using a leaf blower, I can clean up the yard in less than 10 minutes. Manually raking would take a few hours and thwn I’d be unable to move around for a while. I just blow the leafy goodness onto flower beds though so they can act as mulch.

We know when spring has hit in our typical suburban neighborhood. The constant drone of small engines. Mowers. Leaf blowers. Trimmers. Doesn’t matter the day, you can always hear at least one somewhere, but weekends are obviously the worst.

I’m doing my best to go electric. Electric trimmers are fantastic if you get a decent one. I’d like to get an electric blower, but reviews seem to indicate they’re not quite there yet in terms of power and useful time. We’ve got a large-ish lot, and an EV mower that could last long enough would easily be high 4-figures. Can’t swing that when I’ve already got a paid-for gas one, but I’d love to go all electric.

I hear you. I make up for my leaf blower by using a reel mower. It’s a push mower and makes next to no noise.

I wouldn’t say I hate them as much as mosquitoes because at least it in the wilderness the ratio of leaf blower dicks goes down (but never zero)

That said, yeah I fucking hate leaf blowers with a furious passion, and they’re everywhere in my city! Regardless of the time, or day, or location in the city, there is at least one leaf blower dick audible!

You know…leaf blowers have feelings too and I think it would be appropriate to apologize for your hurtful words…Time to head to Alaska boys/girls/?s

It’s unfortunate, but the only solution is helicopter dispersed anti personnel mines.

If you don’t like it here you can leaf!

Might need to sound proof a room for maximum chill

Just wait until you see people clearing snow with a leaf blower, cause they are too lazy to shovel. It’s ridiculous.

Oh, what about when there’s like 3 or 4 going in the same yard, sounds like that Tibetan Monk chanting with their motor rev going up and down.

I hate them, but we use gravel a lot here to save water and can’t think of a way to keep gravel walkways clear without blowing debris. Brooms, rakes, etc don’t work in this case.

Then you’ll love his game.

I hate when they wait along the side of the road, and blow the leaves at the passing cars.
