Old blokes and their lawnmowers

Old blokes and their lawnmowers .

.

What is it with old blokes and their lawn mowers ? .

.

I am surrounded by old blokes who are retired, home all day, all week, but when it comes Sunday (today), they start mowing their lawns .

.

When the working community looks forward to a bit of peace and quiet, their early Sunday morning gets disturbed by bloody old blokes and their lawn mowers .

.

.The bloke next door started up at 8,00am this morning … the bloke up the road 10 minutes ago (it is now 9.30am) .

.

Yet both these blokes are home all day, all week !

.

Do I feel better after that little rant ? ... yes

I agree, we are "old folk", and only EVER mow on a Tues (weather permitting) out of respect for all the surrounding working neighbours.

It's called lawnacy.

How do you know they are home all day every day? Are you home all day every day too?

[*elizabeths-mum*]

Old people don't have time to be home all day, they seem to be out volunteering all the time!

Have you also noticed that just one starts......then one by one all the old codgers get out there with their mowers?

It's as if  the sound of one mower strikes a primeval instinct to mow on Sundays.

Da debil makes them do it.

I just bought myself a push mower....best thing I've ever purchased. Wish I'd had one years ago....  whisper quiet and easier to use than the stupid petrol mower that is now a dust catcher.

I certainly won't be bothering my neighbours, unlike the guy using his angle grinder right now

I use a super mulcher for my palm fronds, etc. in a leafy village.

I call around to my lovely neighbours to let them know I will be using it for ? hours and is it OK with them (sleeping babies, etc).

I never use it on a Sunday.

It's so they don't have to accompany the missus to church.

Sorry dear, can't come to church, gotta mow thw lawn before it gets too hot, rains, the family come for lunch etc

I suggest you move to an area where there are no oldies, a few late night parties from the youngies, and you might wish you had oldies for neighbours again.
