The Laziest Landscapers

They actually use multiple blowers hand held by multiple foreign men, once per week, in order to blow newly mowed grass, leaves, bits of trash, ACROSS A ONE FOOT WIDTH OF PROPERTY! How lazy can you get and how did they learn they can get paid to do this!?   I have been watching for 7 years!  There is exactly one foot of property between my neighbor's driveway and my property.  One foot.  They get paid by my neighbor for this.  One foot width - multiple blowers.  One foot.  


Oh wait, maybe they are using multiple blowers over one foot of property so they can blow all crap onto my grass real quickly so I can't see it happen!  And NEVER do they blow it onto the other side of their customer's property.  Why not?  Because a big man lives there and they feel comfortable abusing the little short woman.  They're lazy, not stupid.  They know better than to tick off the big white guy with the new house and new cars.  These hired landscapers create all this dust and misplaced dirt off my neighbor's property and blow it onto my grass, trees, shrubs, flowers, yard, and into my ears and down my lungs, and they think I don't see it at 7:45 a.m. after I run around closing my windows.  I guess I should not complain - maybe another one of my windows will be broken mysteriously while I am not home.  God forbid if these landscapers bend over and pick up the sand and leaves and grass and small bits of trash they create while it is on their customer's property.  I guess if they tried to pick it up instead of using the blowers to blow it off their customer's property, they would have to bend over though and they would fall down and might not be able to get up again - lots of impressive, heavy looking equipment on their backs.
