    I feel this deeply… I cant keep windows closed cause its so godawful hot out, and I just… Ugh it hurts my soul and makes me want to scream and cry. Stop overstimulating me. Also death to leafblowers like, seriously they just move things around. Just get a goddamn pushbroom, it’ll be more effective.

      I hate them with a passion. And like OP, I can hear one at my place every day.

      Have you tried meditation? I’ve had some luck with it in the past. You basically learn to hear the sound without reacting.

      I had the same sentiment, but then I trashpicked a mains powered high velocity blower thing and it’s just… 👌Chef’s kiss👌 Fucking magnificent!

      Doesn’t take very long to blow the grass clippings off the sidewalk either (Idk, 2 minutes tops?). It’s very nice!
