Lawn makes me angry and resentful. It's the stupidest fuckin' thing people do. It's a colossal(this word doesn't do justice to the level of waste) waste of time and resources. I'd like to have the money Americans waste on lawns in a single day. I'd never work again, and would be able to give lots of money to my favorite charities.

I just finished mowing our lawn. My wife says I always come back in the house looking really angry afterwards and she thinks I resent that she doesn't do any of the mowing. I don't resent her for it at all. But I do wish I didn't have to do it at all. It just isn't fun pushing a mower up a hill.

If I wanted my nose torun, eyes to burn and my face turn red I would be doing right now. Did I mention heatstroke, I don't use a mower with sun canopy and six-pack cooler.

My parents are away on vacation this week so I mowed their lawn while they were gone... There are about 40 trees/stumps to avoid, roots that are sticking up that need to be avoided, and hills/valleys that need to be taken at certain angles to get a good cut. Not to mention the standing water in certain areas.

Basically, it is a pain to mow.

Agreed. You can blame things like HOAs for demanding people stay with the stupid american classic lawn chores. It's stupidity at it's finest.

Waste of Water
Waste of Gas (Equipment)
Waste of Time
Waste of Countless other product costs that go down the drain (ant killer, weed killer, fertilizer, hoses, etc.. etc..)

I don't mind mowing the lawn, it's so much easier with a mulcher mower than a bagger. Just go, and do it in one run. I used to do my dad's lawn with a bagger, that was brutal. Do 2 strips, have to stop to empty bag in garbage bag. It would take about 4 hours to mow that lawn. Pretty big yard. We had like 40 bags to bring to the dump after, such a waste to put organic matter in plastic that will take thousands of years to decompose.

More like missing out on growing up with a large dolphin in your livingroom that pukes all over the place every two weeks.

Just got rid of my lawn. No more mowing, no more weeds to deal with with, no fertilizer, no sprinklers getting water spots on my truck. I'll have to trim once or twice a year, but that's about it.

It's a conspiracy. Sell you stuff to make it grow, sell you stuff to chop it down.

I only feel good after I cut it because it's one less thing I have to do that week.

Are you for real?, I bought the cheapest POS rider just so I don't have to mow in the FL heat. Consequently I'm always working on the POS weedeater one mower which I don't really mind so much because I enjoy taking things apart.

I think mine is due to be mowed. If I can get rid of this stupid cold I'll probably do that.

There's a spot I'm trying to get grass to grow because it never recovered last winter, it's finally starting to germinate, just in time for winter. Crazy to think there's about a month left.

As someone who's been mowing for 30 some years, I can tell you this is an outright lie.

Change mowing with "sex" and you might be onto something.

I enjoy mowing, and think I'd still mow if I were independently wealthy (except I would have a much, much nicer tractor)

I think mowing time is also time spent "surveying my land"
