I Hate Power Tools and Gardening Equipment in Neighborhoods

Tweet

As I sit here typing, my neighbor. My neighbor across the street is using some loud whirring thing that's driving me nuts. I just finished with a chain saw and leaf blower. Of course, he's playing his radio loudly enough to make sure he can hear it over everything else. It's almost enough to make me want to move back to the other house on weekends. The gardening pros wear headphones to keep the sound of their equipment from hurting their own ears, but anyone who walks by has their ears assaulted. Why can't people use quite brooms and rakes to clean up their messes these days? I can understand why power tools are necessary when one has acres to clean up, but most neighborhood yards are small. People use the power tools to save labor at home and then go work out at the gym. What are your thoughts on noisy power tools in neighborhoods where houses are close together?
