So I had a happy entertainment this afternoon.
Two guys showed up today to do, umm....something to the lawn next door.
First guy is running a leaf blower. Ok. He is terrible at it but ok. Then the second guy shows up with a small riding mower. Ok. He just kind of mows around aimlessly, not following any path. No bagging attachment. Hmm. Now I'm watching closely, leaf blower guy is not really blowing them anywhere. At this point, you may figure out they're hourly workers on a state-owned lot.
First guy decides he wants to run the mower. Knocks the cowling off the engine. Tries for a while to get it back on. Second guy grabs the leaf blower and begins randomly blowing leaves. First guy keeps knocking the cowling off, now he's driving .1mph, holding the side chute up with one hand...cowling keeps slipping off. So then he's trying to simultaneously hold the cowling and chute, driving aimlessly.
Second guy goes out front and gets on a larger zero-radius mower. Proceeds to drive in circles and mulch the shit out of the tiny front lawn. I counted twenty circles, but he had been at it before I started counting. First guy runs his mower out of gas, slowly trundles to get the can. Fills it up, tries to start it...it's in gear, almost takes out the fence but manages to kill the engine. Starts putting more gas in? Sure, seems reasonable. Takes cowling off and throws it in the bushes.
Second guy "finishes" in the front (just left the mulched leaves in the middle of the lawn), gets back on the leafblower. First guy still just randomly mowing the leaves in the back without a pattern. For the next fifteen minutes, they do this. It's about a 40'x30' lot. My favorite part was the one non-random action: the leafblower guy keeps clearing off the sidewalk, only for the mower guy to immediately blow leaves on it again. I counted five times for that one, but I wasn't watching the entire time.
Finally, satisfied with the fine layer of wet leaf paste they've created, they depart. They did remember to grab the cowling from the bushes. Then an old woman came out of the house and started sweeping away all the mulched leaves they got all over everything (patio, chairs, grill, etc).
I was impressed by the show of modern American ineptitude and fraud.
