Dangerous times...

 A leafblower rage...

What are the feelings of people regarding these monstrosities?  I reckon
they are a bane on society.

I would suggest thumping somebody for anything is extreme. I worked
shiftwork for 15 years and copped a lot of being woken up by building and
loud music around my house. Building I couldn't do much about and for the
music I reasoned with the guy.

I have a blower and use it on jobs but it is usually over in a short time
and I do it after 8am in the morning.

My only complaint would be those that use blowers to blow lawn clippings and
leaves out into a street that was otherwise clean before they arrived. My
own work ethics is to leave a customers house in a better state than what it
was when I arrived. I wish others would do the same.

 agreed jock,

the obsesive way some use them they are the bain of suburbia, we have
an electric one as we have rather a lot of cemnt to keep cleanish so
about once or twice a month we use the vac part of it, and always
after around 9am through the week day hopefully so as not to distrupt
anyone too much.

I love my leafblower.

 

I wonder what time of day it was operating?

They are dreadful things, invariably operated at the time of day that will
cause most annoyance to the neighbours.  I can understand professional
gardeners (or owners of large properties) using them, but a broom should be
adequate for the rest of us.  Much healthier for the user and the environment.
