Don’t remember seeing this posted apologies if it has.

I can empathize with that bloke…

@Albert_Thurgood

I have been holding back on this, so here goes…

Some of the greatest problems in the world today are:

1. global warming caused by CO2 emissions
2. increasing rates of diabetes and heart disease caused by lack of exercise
3. depletion of fossil fuel reserves needed for vital industries in the future

What makes all these three things worse while performing a virtually useless task?

Farking leaf blowers.

So many knuckleheads out there with leaf blowers — instead of using brooms — just to blow leaves and various crap off their driveway and on to their neighbours’ yards. Who will then go and use their leaf blowers to blow all the crap back again, or out onto the street.

FFS just sweep it up - get the exercise, conserve energy and do the job properly.
