I know in the great scheme of things this isnt really a major issue but the house opposite us an a gardener go every Tuesday who I think is impression its St Andrews 18th green,
Take him all afternoon to the grass the size of a penalty area with most annoying bit spending hour using leaf blower to move grass cuttings and debris round, which get duly blown back again cos its fecking windy!!
Tenant living in the annexe to my house turning his CH up (which I pay for) to run 24/7 at 21C. Went behind my back to do it, hiding the change in 2nd & 3rd programmes when he only needs the first prog. as he wfh & every day's the same for him.
I'd asked him to discuss any changes he wanted with me, told him I didn't want him to be cold & I was sure we could come to a reasonable agreement, but no, he did it t'other way.
Most pointless invention ever unless you are going to pick them up afterwards!
I was walking past the Willis building in town the other day and a chap had a leaf blower blowing them off the pavement through the railings into the Unitarian Churchyard. Behind him the wind was blowing them from the churchyard back through the railings onto the pavement. I suppose it keeps him in employment having to do it again the next day...

Absolutely hate the things. Burning fossil fuels to save yourself using a brush or rake (which is actually good exercise) strike me as a perfect metaphor for the world going down the pan.
Don't get me started on patio heaters.
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Not many landlord/ladies these days who pay for their tenant's energy.
Well done you.

In all seriousness, speed bumps... Surely there must be a mathematical formula to calculate the angle of the leading edge, so you can pass over it at whatever the speed limit of the road is, WITHOUT it causing damage to your car Fair enough if you're significantly over the speed limit, the design should damage your car! I'm sick of slowing to 15mph & it still being such a violent, hard hit as you go over them, they're completely unnecessary

Speed bumps are there to make sure you don't go too fast and damage your tyres in a typical Suffolk pothole.....
Just one small problem; sell their houses to who, Ben? Fcking Aquaman?
I only have a couple of neighbours and the closest one is at least a 100meters away. But he is completely obsessed with his leaf blower and pressure washer. If he's not at work he's blowing leafs around his garden or pressure washing his drive. Otherwise he would be mowing the lawn but he got a couple of those little robot mowers recently. Which as given him more spare time to blow leafs around I guess

Having to pull up the rubber flooring I had only just put in the garage, because the rain on Friday caused a flood in the garage. That was pretty annoying.
Followed by having to buy a drainage system to install in front of the garage, dig all that out and lay that.
Then relay the rubber flooring.
Now waiting to see if the drains get tested. I just dug a gravel filled hole for it to drain into.

Reminds me of my son when it was just he and I living in flat. Those teenage years when he was spending hours every day playing computer games. I would often be away for a few days at a time and come in to find the heating on full. The room very hot so he'd opened the windows. Still too warm for him so he'd stripped down and was playing the computer dressed just in shorts.
(Also a stack of washing up in the kitchen and mugs all over the flat).
Relatively harmless compared to a wild boar hunt going through your garden. It’s noisier, involves a pack of baying, out of control dogs, rude Frenchmen in fluorescent waistcoats - and flying bullets
