There’s only so much noise you can put up with before you start dreading being home.

For one woman, six years of listening to her neighbor’s leaf blower has brought her to that point.

Her neighbor uses it for hours almost every day, leaving her wondering what could possibly need that much cleaning.

In fact, it’s gotten so frustrating that she’s begged her neighbor to cut back, but the woman yelled that she has to keep things neat.

So now, instead of enjoying the beautiful weather, she’s wondering whether she needs noise-canceling headphones just to get some peace.

Read on to see exactly what’s been going on.

I hate my neighbor

This woman has spent the last six years torturing me with her relentless need to blow every speck of debris from her property using the world’s most annoying, screeching leaf blower.

She is out there day after day for hours. What the **** is she even blowing????

She was out there yesterday, blowing. She was out there the day before, blowing. She’s out there again, blowing. Her property isn’t even that ******* big!

I cannot imagine spending my retirement using the worst piece of yard equipment for hours at a time. I guess this is what happens when you never leave the house and have apparently no interests or hobbies besides blowing stuff around.

At this point, she’s frustrated and at her wit’s end.

Tried asking her, actually begged her, to stop doing it so frequently, and she screamed at us that she has to keep things neat and that there’s debris.

Do I have to live in noise-canceling headphones to get any peace?

The weather is beautiful, and I can’t enjoy the last few moments of warmth because I cannot stand the noise. And when she’s not using the leaf blower, she’s screaming at her obnoxious, yappy dogs.

I cannot wait for her to disappear off the planet. I hate her.

Yikes! That would be pretty annoying day in and day out, but it could be worse.

Let’s see what the people over at Reddit think about what the neighbor does.

Here’s someone who deals with the same thing.

What could she possibly need to blow around for hours every day?

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a neat yard, but she should have some consideration for the people living next door.

And yelling at someone who asks for a little quiet is just rude.

After six years of this, it’s no wonder her neighbor has had enough.
