i have no problem getting rid of obnoxious leafblowers.Me too.
And you can get rid of obnoxious Harley Davidson motorcycles while you're at it..and don't insult me with this "it's for my safety" bullshit either.
That's my pet peeve as well. One can't go outside and enjoy the fresh air in peace and quiet without the noxious VRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOM VROOOOOOOOOOOOOM VROOOOOOOOOOOOM of those infernal things going up and down the residential streets. It's like cigar smoke for the ears, and it's calculated, not for safety, but to thrust a metaphorical middle finger in the face of polite society.
