  1. I swear my leaf-blowing neighbors wait until I have opened our windows before they start blasting their dirt, dust, and pollen all over the place.

  3. Can we get an automated #Drone system that takes out anything with a #LeafBlower ? Asking for a friend…

  4. @aSweetGentleman not just me then. I just took a lunchtime walk in suburban Sheffield and I could hear w@nk5rs with leaf blowers for 15/40 minutes. #sheffield #leafblower #antisocialbehaviour #NoisePollution

  5. ‘Everything that is wrong with the human race’: inside Hollywood’s bizarre war on the leaf blower

    For 18 years, Cate Blanchett has railed against the hated garden gadget – and she’s not alone. From Hugh Grant to Danny DeVito, the backpack blower has united stars in unlikely, furious contempt

  7. A story in three frames entitled, “The look of a man who has borrowed a dust blower only to realize the person he borrowed it from is parked downwind.”

  8. Can’t wait until humankind or better dumbkind pulls its head out and bans lawnmowers and leaf blowers and eventually the internal combustion engine. Lived and prospered for centuries without the IC engine. Nature was far better off without it.

  9. Leaf blower guy has basically blown all the crap into my face. I hate leaf blowers. IMO they are the ultimate "f**k you, not my problem" device 😤

  10. Generative AI is taking human work, guzzles shittons of energy and creates garbage.

    Like using a gasoline powered leafblower in a museum.

  12. Neighbors who use gas powered leaf blowers are not being good neighbors. Electric ones are much much less bad.

    a smaller battery powered "sweeper" makes a whisper of noise comparatively, but is still super useful for clearing grass clippings, gutter cleaning, light snow removal etc. For anything else... well rakes, brooms and shovels are also surprisingly effective!

  14. My city recently enacted a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers (to go into effect in a couple years).

    Everyone is talking about switching to electric leaf blowers, but nobody is talking about the most obvious solution:

    Hire elephants to blow leaves using their trunks!!!

  16. Am I the only one who wants to whip out a flame-thrower every time he hears a leaf blower?

  17. So I’m not completely against the recent Portland ban of gas powered leaf blowers. But what I find ironic is that they will not target fines at companies who use them, but the home owner who hires them. This is so that small companies do not take the brunt of the fines. But the companies are still going to be screwed because no one will hire them if they have gas blowers. #PDX #LeafBlower portland.gov/sites/default/fil

  18. Last night at 10:15pm, a neighbour got out his #leafBlower to clear the snow. Did the exact same thing last week.

    He's home all day sitting about. Then decides that TEN FIFTEEN is the time to whip out that thing.

    Anyways this time I stepped outside in -16 in a sweater (yes I would like a medal thank u) and let him know to cut it out and do this earlier in the day. He was confused.

    Next time I'm going to print a copy of the noise bylaw.... Maybe that'll help with the confusion 😎🤠

  20. It would be nice if we regulated or at least taxed both the #decibels and the chronic-illness-causing #pollutants from leaf blowers.

    "The two-stroke leaf blower generated 23x the CO and nearly 300x more NMHC than the 2011 Ford Raptor pickup truck. To equal the hydrocarbon emissions of about a half-hour of yard work with this two-stroke #LeafBlower, you'd have to drive the truck 3,887 miles, or the distance from Northern Texas to Anchorage, Alaska."

  22. When the guy who invented the leaf blower died, did they just scatter his ashes over the neighbouring graves?

    (Yes, neighbours clearing their snow with a leaf blower is a sore point for me. The prevailing winds mostly dump it on my driveway.)

  23. The season of the #leafBlower is upon us. Neighbours have 3 people on gas leaf blowers attempting to move all the leaves to the front of the house. Bad for the environment, bad for nature, bad for peoples mental stability, bad for our hearing. Do they serve any positive purpose at all. Seems the only thing they do is allow rich people to admire their grass longer.

    They should be banned, today.

  24. One of the things about Texas is that once summer starts, pretty much any outdoor activity comes to an end. We're talking humid 100+ F degree days nonstop for 4 months.

    So as May rolls along and days start approaching 90 degrees, you feel the need to take advantage of every moment that you can still pleasantly spend outside. Like today.

    And then the leaf blowers come out. Constant, droning, pieces of crap polluting not only the air, but the entire sound of an otherwise peaceful neighborhood. What are they even blowing, there are no trees dropping leaves in spring! They blow for hours, from different directions, and I'm somehow triangulated right in the middle.

    I hate them so much.
