Pressure washer reality

  There is something absolutely relaxing about using a power washer. It feels weird, because the things are pretty loud and you definitely feel the wand in your hands, but it’s like you can just push everything into that jet of water and watch it run down.

  I assume that goes away after awhile, especially if it’s your job, but if it’s something you only break out on occasion, absolutely therapeutic in a weird way.

    So much so that there’s a pretty popular computer game, Powereash simulator

      I’ve been playing so much of that the last few weeks. It requires just enough attention to be distracting but it’s still totally stress free. That plus Taskmaster has been my coping mechanism for anxiety.

    When you use the right gear (e.g. hearing protrction, gloves, STEEL TOR SHOES (for you crazies wearing flip flops)) power washing is mesmerizing; especially with the vibration from the water flow.

    Very relaxing; very demure.

    Should this be a county fair attraction?

    I think it would be fun to have a “therapeutic jobs” agency that gives low pressure tasks (or high pressure :p) for like up to 5 hours
    Probably would have shit pay because some of the tasks are not capitalistic enough but as a small thing once every few weeks it could be a nice change of pace

      You might have just invented community service volunteering…?

    Instantly. The Pigs hate it when people do nice things for the community, and some dumbfuck NIMBYs on the local government boards would get their panties in a wad at the thought of it.

  Anecdotal.

  Guy brought a foreclosure house that was in pretty bad shape. The first thing he did was rent a pressure washer to clean it up. After working on his own place a neighbor came over and said he’d done a pretty good job. The neighbor asked how much he’d charge to clean his place? The first guy named a price a little higher than the rental fee. He ended up buying a washer nad making it his job.

  Someone should do this! There’s already this drain-unvlogging-videos. Now I need powerwashing the inner city videos. Cleaning-algae-from-driveway-videos are lame. I want filth removal under a busy bus-stop! Get yourself a neon construction vest and let’s go!

  “Give a man a cleaning rag and he will stare at it helplessly. Give him a pressure washer and he will clean everything as far as the cable will reach.”
