Default The drive to work

My new Z enemy is the leaf blower operator! I still can't believe they point their jet packs into traffic and blow everything at the cars. UGH!!

How about in Spring when the roads are yellow and they blow a cloud of pollen on your clean car...

How about the lawn mower guy who shoots rocks faster then a black powder gun in your direction...

I agree though leaf blowers are horrible.

I usually stop or honk when the blowers are doing that.

I have a friend who was injured when a rock flung by a string trimmer flew through her open window and hit her in the temple. Sheer bad luck.

I've seen leaf blower guys in my work parking lot using the leaf blowers to blow off the cars after covering them with dust! How thoughtful! Luckily I don't drive my Z there anymore.

I drive my truck through the unsavory places and save my z for the good streets/track. The guys that blow the cars off after they mess them up are the good ones, when you need to blow off a whole parking lot to finish your job you don't have a choice. Blowing into moving traffic should be a crime.

Guys come every Wednesday morning where I work. I know to park a couple spaces away from the raised grass parking block to avoid getting blasted. I'm talking dirt all up in your door jambs bad if you forget.

Sometimes when I leave for lunch they're still out there- I've considered asking him to blow off my car on my way out. Though that might make me vulnerable to a few new dings in the future.
