>That’s an awfully uncharitable projection.

It's neither uncharitable nor a projection. My dad is one of these - the loudness is entirely the point, by his own admission. He told me this. He intentionally buys the loudest most powerful/obnoxious tools he can rather than the most practical and dicks around with them.

My dad is also the laziest man on the planet and does ZERO housework. He only does lawn work because it's an opportunity for him to play with his toys.

>The lawn business people I know

Nobody's talking about people with lawn businesses. Businesses will want to just get the work done and move onto the next client.




Exactly. This is the sort of person I was talking about.
