WIBU to shove the gardeners leaf blower up his fecking arse,
He's been flouncing around like a fecking stupid ghostbuster for the last hour. They were supposed to come yesterday and I made sure I was out for most of the day so I wouldn't have to listen to this. It's a communal garden I'm sure my other neighbours won't mind.

Will you be providing photographic evidence of this? If so, YANBU and work away Grin

If I can get another neighbour involved I certainly will Bananas

I see your annoying gardener and raise my neighbour who thinks it makes it less annoying if they do it for half an hour, then break for an hour, then do it for half an hour. All fucking day.

Leafblowers are the work of the devil and I'd love them to be banned. rake the leaves up, you'll live longer.

Does he think it's Autumn? What leaves? 😀

Yanbu but please have someone take a photo of the moment, and then have it printed 10' by 10' like in Fr Ted when he kicked Bishop Brennan up the arse.

No don't go damaging the leaf blower, they are expensive, use garden rake instead.. better still a chain saw.

scrambledeggsandbeans · 23/07/2019 13:45

@echt yes that would really annoy me so you win

Flouncing around with a leaf blower like a ghostbuster Grin Grin. MN very rarely makes me laugh out loud but this made me snort.

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 23/07/2019 13:46

Yanbu leave it switched on when you do it Grin

scrambledeggsandbeans · 23/07/2019 13:47

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
You are right leaf blowers are expensive I'll use a chainsaw. Grin

I agree, a horrible noise for 10mins is much better than an stop-start noise for hours

ZillaPilla · 23/07/2019 13:59

Is this something you as the community that use the garden contribute financially towards? If so, then maybe you have some say in how that money is used. Blowing leaves away is bad - stupid energy using blower and removing leaves which are good for the soil.

There aren't any leaves at the moment anyway.

scrambledeggsandbeans · 23/07/2019 14:04

@ ZillaPilla I'm renting I'll give my landlady a call if it goes on for much longer. They are blowing the car park at the moment it's driving me crazy!!!!! Angry

YANBU. Guy next door was mincing about with one for bloody hours the other day. I could see him from the guest bedroom window and he was just wafting it around doing fuck all!

DontCallMeShitley · 23/07/2019 14:11

Shove a rake where the sun don't shine (handle first of course).

Disfordarkchocolate · 23/07/2019 14:14

My neighbours play tag grass cutting. Instead of being inspired by the noise a mower to join in they wait till someone has finished and then start cutting their grass. On a bad day, it lasts for hours 🙁

RiftGibbon · 23/07/2019 14:18

Woman over the road from me spent 45 minutes blowing leaves off her driveway last Friday. The breeze kept blowing them back.
Leaf blowers are utterly pointless.

CassianAndor · 23/07/2019 14:25

what's the matter with a RAKE and a BROOM, hmm???? HMMM???

scrambledeggsandbeans · 23/07/2019 14:32

Yeah neighbour no.7 had a word, it did not look like a friendly exchange.
Leaf blower is back in the van and sweeping has commenced. I love you no.7

Shove the leaf blower up his bum and give him a couple of tango slaps Grin

Alsohuman · 23/07/2019 14:37

What leaves? It’s summer. I’m confused.

MrsMozartMkII · 23/07/2019 14:38

Remember the vaseline. A big tub.

MrsMozartMkII · 23/07/2019 14:39

Just read your update - Yay No. 7!

Littlecaf · 23/07/2019 14:40

Didn’t somewhere like Hampstead Garden Suburb (posh bit of London) ban them?
