Comment on It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers?

  Are they ex military? Are they an ASVAB waiver? Did they used to get told to mop up the rain too?

    Are those the sentiments that appeared when she ran off?

  Yeah we saw one of our neighbors watering the storm drain. But also recently she drove from her driveway to ours - literally got in her car, backed out the driveway then immediate turn into ours, to come ask a question. Then got back in her car, backed out of our driveway and immediate turn into hers. So I think she is just crazy.

  I once inquired about this very practice. I’ve been told it’s because:

  • Water restrictions are generally lifted when it rains
  • Easy rinse/prepped surface

  That all make sense to me if these idiots had a pressure washer, but its always a normal hose with a nozzle…

  There may be something falling from trees that stains?

    This was during the summer. The only thing might be bird poop?
