Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.
Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat
What constitutes a “suburban lawn person,” anyone with a lawn? So anyone with a house (i.e. almost every person close enough to hear another “suburban lawn person” mowing)? I don’t want to mow my lawn it’s a chore that I have to do to avoid having all my neighbors mad at me and to avoid fines from the city; I’m not a “lawn person.”
I’m not sorry that the underpaid lawn servants who indirectly work for you mother do their physically intensive outdoor summer work when it’s safest for them and not when it’s most convenient for her.
Yeah, I think your idea of suburban lawn guy is pretty close to what I was saying. I have a tiny patch of lawn because I live in a dense city.
This is the real issue, even if someone WANTS to be totally silent, leave their lawn to grow wild, towns and HOAs don’t allow that in many areas. Why is it so necessary to have a prim and proper lawn as long as it isn’t interfering with other people’s lawns? Sure they have to look at it, but I don’t understand why natural growth should be seen as ugly.
Yeah it’s absolutely horseshit. I’d like to replace it all with clover because it’s supposed to require minimal care and I believe it’s better for bees, but it also spreads on its own apparently and again, don’t need neighbors yelling at or suing me.
