For one thing, the god-awful noise of the pressure-washing machine that is being used on the outside of my apartment building right now. “What the hell is that noise?” I wondered, and I opened the front door and nearly got a faceful of dirty water. It’s a good thing I don’t currently have one of my headaches…

It’d be justifiable homicide, Andrea – any sane jury would laugh it out of court.

Well now. I do appreciate the clean breezeways and destruction of all the wasp nests. So I give them a pass.
But leaf blowers? I hate those things. And they’re useless — I could get more leaves off the lawn with a rake when I was five years old than a team of ten gardeners can in the whole complex with leaf blowers. That’s because the goddamn things do nothing but blow the leaves all over the place. Grrrr.

I never saw the use of them either. I can imagine the pitch the inventor would make, though, all about saving your back & hands from the WORK of that particular chore.
No thanks, give me a good rake – it’s even energy-efficient!
