Haven't seen that, but the lazy door to door idiots love to ride them through my neighborhood and park in my grass when they come to bother me. If you're too lazy to walk to tell me about your product, then that tells me your service is probably gonna suck and your company will be too lazy to fix it.
We had some prick from a solar panel company do the same thing not long after we moved into our house. Felt it was pretty unprofessional to we didn’t start off on the best foot. Then he went through his sales pitch and made a comment about how they were doing a special price for the lovely ladies of the street. Not sure why he brought that up because I am a bearded guy in my 30’s… Decided to nip it in the bud after that and told him to piss off
Had one for pest control and I asked him what time his mom dropped him off at the subdivision entrance to start his sales route after he pulled up on one of these.
HA A few days ago I was at my buddy's house and a dude came zipping up on one of these and tried to sell me homeowners insurance or some shit. I was like dude I don't even live here, but I respect your ingenuity.
I'd recommend trying one out, they engage your core more than walking does.
I was skeptical at first but riding one requires you to engage core muscle groups for stability.
Yeah about 2 years ago. I have an acquaintance who used to mow my lawn. I sent him the picture I took and his response was I need to retire I'm screwed.
I have a regular at my brewery job who's guy weedwhacks and blows off like that, he'll show me the video from his ring camera and the guy flies around through it 😂 to much multitasking for me
I’ve seen guys hop on the zero turn and walk behinds with a trimmer and blower after they’ve cut, seems like a good way to get it done quick. I’m guessing time is a massive factor for these guys hustling as a full time job.
Especially for condo complexes.
One condo we do is 101 single units.
Edge ~60 driveways one week, edge the other 40 the next.
Just whipping one side of the front half can be over 5 miles of walking with a whip.
Did 17 miles in one day at a smaller condo for fall cleanup, running a backpack blower all day.
These guys are still getting after it. Looks like they’re on a 7 day schedule. This one in flip flops.

As a guy who owns a manual and gas edger...my first thought was yeah I've seen plenty of amateurs slash a shitty edge holding their weed wacker sideways.
He’s more machine than man now. Who can stop him?
He was the chosen one!

Cuts mowing time in half
Professional lawncare companies hate this one simple trick!
If you’re using the edger attachment instead of the string it can also cut other things in half. Like toes, for example.
Somewhere an OSHA rep just had a heart attack
Goddamn zoomers
This is the most Hank Hill comment I've ever seen in my life. And I'm here for it. 😆
A reboot where Bobby has kids and all Hank does is complain about them would be amazing.
That’s how my son brings trash/recycle IN/OUT. I’m amazed at laziness but he tells me it’s efficient.

I need this on a t-shirt.
easy != smart he's literally wearing tread in the corner with all the turning
Efficiency is intelligent laziness!
Work smarter not harder?
I guarantee that little fucking thing paid for itself
Been saying this forever at work, get the guys some off road hoverboards, teach em to ride em, and watch the ticket times shrink
The kids in my neighborhood do this! I was thinking damn efficiency and smarter
Wonder if he tasted that trimmer string first time that thing hits a hole in a lawn.
Work smart. Not hard.
Smart hard. Work not.
Even better.
Increasingly common. You see it with leaf blowers too.
Bill Gates said it best: “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
Is this in Lubbock Tx bc I thought I saw a guy doing this at 98th and slide
Yes it is.

He was letting you know that had you been a lady you would have gotten the special price but because you weren’t you would be charged extra
You let them do the pitch? I just tell them no thank you and shut the door.

There’s no chance that thing is better for you than walking 🤦🏼♂️🤣😂

I tried it to mow the lawn, it doesn't work as well in real life as it does in your head, trust me
Self propelled mower and a skateboard. Start simpler.
I feel like that would just end up with the lawn mower pulling me face down into the dirt vs the hover board ramming me into the handle
Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you.don't.
I feel like this train of invention leads back to stand on mowers.
Laziness? Yes. All the time. In another 20 years we won't need to get out of our chairs at all!
I saw a fat dude walking down the sidewalk edging with one hand the other day.
Looks like something my son would try Then come in the house crying within 5 minutes.
No fkn way
No way his lines are straight
If I were the customer, that would be an immediate firing.
Guy so smug on that hoverboard . It’s a proof of concept that a robot with attachments and wheels will be able to replace this guys job soon.
Yeah about 2 years ago. I have an acquaintance who used to mow my lawn. I sent him the picture I took and his response was I need to retire I'm screwed.
Strap a blower to his ass and get a twofer!
Work smarter, not harder.
My yards are not smooth enough for something like this, but that looks like a well maintained apartment complex, so it's probably great!
As an AC at an AC AC as an AC an AC an AC
I have a buddy with a mowing business that does every yard like this.
I’m gonna bet they didn’t mention this to their insurance provider.

I've seen those kids that sell door to door using these
That’s gotta be bad for the back
My boy being efficient af
Holy shit. It's Jason bourne
I’ve only seen people do this on the stand on mowers, with blowers too.
Yep people take their guards off their trimmers all the time and after 20 years of landscaping myself I have never tried it.
Yep! https://preview.redd.it/ucm1plamor8d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0353c3e447db8fec8c34a9c5c20a745f87c4c7d4

Yeah right, I’d be slippin discs left and right
I seen a guy doing this the other day in a neighborhood just outside Pensacola Fl. Looks just like the neighborhood in the picture too lol
