Do the leaf blower guys at apartment complexes intentionally annoy residents?
Asking because their behavior often seems way too intentional to be coincidental, and I've observed it at multiple places I've lived. At my last place, I asked them not to run the leaf blower in the parking lot around my car because they were kicking up rocks that were damaging the paint. Every time they came by after that they would stand outside the window to my bedroom and rev the leaf blower for a good five minutes, not really doing anything, just revving up the leaf blower right next to my window.
At another apartment I noticed that when I left the patio shade open and they could see me in my apartment working from home, they would spend an inordinate amount of time just hovering around my patio, blowing up what must have been the core of the earth by the time they were done.
Another example, this morning they were out running the leaf blowers around my unit. I went out to go to the laundry room to put in my laundry. The guy followed me to the laundry room and ran the leaf blower around the laundry room the entire time I was in there doing my laundry.
If this behavior is coincidental, and I'm just being paranoid, I must be exceedingly paranoid.
