It’s honestly terrifying how much people really don’t give a shit about what other people want (hexbear.net)

Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.

Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat

The original tiktok does not seem to be about lawns but about what time someone mows their lawn - this boomer mowing their lawn in the morning causing what seems to be a pretty minor annoyance for this woman. Who cares. You live around other people, sometimes you have to deal with them living. We can talk about lawns and I’d agree with you, but my understanding is that this is not about lawns, this woman has no issue with the suburban lifestyle, she just wishes suburban life would conform to her expectations of what it should be which, sorry, it doesn’t.
