Leaf blowing = Terrorism!
Yes, time for another item on the use of leaf blowers.
It is safe to say that there is currently nothing that reduces quality of life more than the screech and stink of two-stroke, gas-powered leaf blowers. These weapons of mass distraction are a direct threat to domestic tranquility. That tranquility is shattered almost daily by the filthy, foul, obnoxious cacophony of leaf blowers... preferably in the morning. As****es!!!
We have listed the downsides before, and this time is no different, we add another researched chapter to the list of why it is a bad idea to use leaf blowers.
The amount of decibels ensure a deafening, aggravating noise, they’re extremely loud! The workers wear earplugs, we do not!
Research had actually found some pretty scary stuff like chromium, nickel, mercury and arsenic — to say nothing of carbon monoxide and other toxic fumes in the air. But the true “ick” factor is found in the organic bouillabaisse found at residential yards and common areas where blowers make noxious clouds of dried animal and bird f***s, human saliva, mold and fungal spores, insect eggs, w**d seeds and pollen.
It is beyond us, that management allows the use of these two-stroke, gas-powered monster, violating our domestic tranquility and wellness at all times of the day. What happened to the broom?
In addition, fellow residents, you too are to blame for allowing it and not speaking up! It does not have to be like this, but you allow it!
Everyone seems to be all too happy to trade his or her peace of mind and health for a "clean" parking lot. The effort to keep the parking lots clear of debris far outdoes the effort to keep our personal living spaces clean. Never mind that you cough and sneeze more often than you should, never mind you slowly grow your lung diseases and cancers, never mind you undermine the health of your children, as long as the parking is "clean" it is all worth it, right? Your car will surely appreciate the sacrifice!
The sad thing is that everyone is paying for this s**t. However, it seems to be what everyone wants, so enjoy!
