For people that get to work from home or work off shifts and sleep in the day they are annoyingly loud, and seem like they are in constant use due to everyone doing yard work at different times.
You’ve only heard people complain about leaf blowers on lemmy? Seems like a very common annoyance in my general experience, and this is about the time of year when they come out in force, so it’s not surprising people are going to complain.
Also, leaf blowers are pretty damn high on the noise/utility ratio. MFers in my neighborhood will be out there for half an hour blowing around grass clippings after mowing, when the wind is gusting 20mph.
I just hate the pollution, leaf blower is literally do not fully combust their fuel and some of the fuel is atomized in the exhaust. Which is why they have that distinctive smell because you are literally smelling the unburnt fuel. Given that the task is 80% of the time just a waste of time of people pointlessly blowing leaves in the direction they would have naturally ended up from the wind (not collecting or piling them just moving) and I get annoyed by it.
Especially when you have those people that are out doing it literally every single goddamn week during fall. If it was an electric leaf blower then whatever the noise doesn’t bother me I’m just tired of fucking smelling it

And other people are thin-skinned when it comes to reading other people’s opinions on the internet 🤷♂️

And where do these people live that they’re hearing blowers all the time?! Bizarre.
Nobody drives a loud car outside my house for 4 hours straight.
