AIBU to ask you to cut your grass?

[BadEyedManiac]

I know there's a movement around not cutting grass and not trimming hedges and so on which I have to say our local council has enthusiastically embraced to the point that road signs are partly obscured by various shrubbery.

However although this might be lovely for bees (although the absolute benefits are probably limited in the context of the age of industrial farming which no one is doing anything about) it is hell on earth for people with pollen allergies. And is particular hell on earth for people like me who have pollen allergies and a corneal condition.

I've just woken up due to corneal pain and have spent ten minutes pouring eye drops into my eyes and I know it's only going to get worse as summer goes on. The environmental benefits from people failing to tend their greenery in urban areas are negligible while the effects on the people around you can be absolutely brutal. Please, please cut your bloody grass. This is awful.

Hayfever? No. I am a nerd....and we fear the real killers 😂

@LemonSwan thanks for your reply! Eeek, another good excuse to not do gardening for me 🤣.

The council cut the large area of grass that's 4m from my front door whilst i was out yesterday, they leave the cuttings blown all over the footpath so it's an absolute eyesore and they then get walked into the house because you can't tiptoe around it.
My hayfever spiked terribly just because i had to walk from my car to my door (30 seconds) but I then had to wash my shoes and wet mop where I'd trodden once I'd come back into the house.
Do you hear me whingeing for the grass NOT to be cut?

Yes sorry all 😂

I wasn’t going to post but you did insist!
