Who TF rakes their leaves


With mulching lawnmowers I am surprised anyone rakes leaves anymore unless they just do it for exercise or pleasure.

bag them and put them on the curb and that is what you should do.


Or just create a compost pile and throw them all in there. Leaves break down really fast, the pile will be mostly gone in a few months.

If you think raking the leaves into your adjoining drainage ditch is smart.... you are a bad person

It's illegal here to intentionally cause stuff to clog the catch basins (blowing leaves into them or the street)

Plugging the thing that's designed to keep your house from flooding every time it rains is fricking stupid. The mad one is right.

Used to have a Chalmetian neighbor that would pull all kind of stupid shite in the yard. Two weeks downtime is not good for some folks.

How about put them in bags and put them in the trash can?

The constant flow of water causes the leaves to break down faster

You take them into the ditch then you burn them. Why is life so hard for some?

There's going to be no flow once enough of those leaves work their way into the pipe under people's driveways and plug it up.

That plus lazy idiots blowing their grass clippings into the street are major contributors to drainage deficiencies.


No. Not an apples to apples comparison.

frick people who rake leaves in a ditch or drainage area.

There is this guy who lives on the corner of my street. He would always blow his leaves in the drain. Not sure how long he had been doing it for, but several years ago when it rained hard or steady for a long time, it would start flooding the street by his house.

One day the city was out there fixing it. It took them 3 or 4 days to fix it, but someone told me that the guy was always calling and bitching. After it was fixed he was complaining because he said the city was trying to blame their problem on him. Not sure what they told him, maybe they said something because there was a lot of shite down there, but people who do that are idiots. It's not there for them to do whatever the frick they want...

I hate frickers who burn their leaves. My town looks like some third world air polluted shithole whenever people burn leaves when there is no wind. The smog is terrible.

Of course, this town is kind of a third world shithole when no one is burning leaves.
