I might want to look into him a little further. Uh…I would recommend that you not. Leaf blowers are the things I really don’t get. TBH, I don’t really get the suburban thrill about having their PERFECT lawns JUST SO. I don’t mind a little bit of disorganization, messy lawns. It just seems like a way of creating more work for everyone. But way worse than that is the leaf blower. So what, you can…blow the leaves from one place to another? ---

This may seem like a minor gripe, but I hate how cashiers invariably paw the top part of a beverage can right before you’re going to have your lips there drinking it. Now I know that it was pawed in earlier stages of the beverage stocking process, but do they really have to paw it right in front of you before you drink it? Why can’t they just once hold it by the bottom half like I would do if I were a store cashier? ---

I can’t see him, because there is a hedge and a fence between us, but I have seen his bike before. I don’t know why he revs it. And revs it. and revs it. Does he care about the time? Nope. 6:30 am? Time for revving! 8:15 pm? Time for revving? Going out at 10:30 pm? Must rev it first! Then gun it all the way out of the neighborhood! \*\* > > I just don’t get it. He is such a douchebag. ETA: \*bolding mine Wait!! Are we neighbors? I hear the same asshole too. Guns it 20 minutes in the yard with the oversized pipes, setting off car alarms, then rides it around the block and back into the yard. WTF?
