    What is with the leaf blower hate around here? Must be a Yankee thing, never hear them around here.

    And if you live in an apartment complex, they have to clear the leaves. They get slippery. You do the math.

      If you live in the suburbs, during the fall, you can’t have a peaceful weekend because there will always be at least one person using a leaf blower nearby. And they’re loud and bad for the environment.

        Where I live, gas ones are illegal but that doesn’t stop all the leaf blowers choking the air with gas fumes. I literally have to turn on an air purifier to get rid of the smell.

        Granted my apartment isn’t exactly a commercial workspace, but nothing is more infuriating than having to close all the doors/windows to my apartment when I’m in the middle of some huge programming problem. It instantly breaks apart the 10 things going on in my mental queue.
