Reply to comment by Ayjia in Leaf Blower Hell by chairmanm30w

I moved in last year and have gotten standoffish vibes from the neighbors in question. They are all in their 80s (original homeowners from '71!) and in poor health, so I've been reluctant to rock the boat. But at the end of the day, that's probably the only thing I can do.

Could they have some dementia and be forgetting how long they’ve been out and that they already blew the leaves?

My elderly neighbors hire out, and they all hire the same crew consisting of two guys in their 60s. Today, they have been working on the same yard for at least 3 hours, though the last hour has been spent putting the leaves through a chipper. This is the second pass they've done on that one house alone this week.

There is this other guy who does it himself for hours at a time that I think might have OCD or Aspereger's. He maintains a very tidy property and otherwise seems very independent and competent, so I'm not super concerned that he needs adult services or something.
