Purely anecdotal but it has been my general experience that men who are overly focused on yard care are not the most pleasant people to be around. I once had a neighbor who obsessed over autumn leaves and he would run the leaf blower for hours on ends, chasing even a few leaves around the yard until he had them in a little pile. Then he'd bag them. He would fill dozens of those big brown paper sacks and have them lined up on the curb.
He hated it when leaves blew from my yard into his yard. But I wasn't going to deal with them until all the trees were bare. That was not the approach he wanted me to take. He probably thought I was a jerk. I'm sure many of my leaves ended up in his bags.

Interesting. I have never seen those kind of brown bags before. Folks around here just use black or green plastic yards bags for their leaves.

When we lived in suburbia, Mr. Mercat did not believe in leaf management until the last leaf fell. Then he mulched them. We HATE leaf blowers.

Did you thank him for bagging ‘your’ leaves? lol

Those bags are a target of opportunity! Just jump the curb in your vehicle of choice and bust every bag between the curb and the tree. Be sure there is a strong wind blowing that will resettle the leaves back where they belong!!
Sometimes its the little things that are the most fun!!

How did the leaves stay neatly in their bags? Geez. Sounds a bit anal.
No way was this attempted murder on Senator Paul because of grass clippings.

My neighbour's tree drops dead leaves onto my property.
And it occasionally makes me feel like beating the crap out of him.
But I don't
