Good morning lawn mower afficianados!
One mowing habit that rubs me the wrong way; directing all the clippings onto public alleys, lanes, roads, streets, etc.
Several reasons I gnash my teeth when I see someone doing such:
1) When it rains, clippings help get storm drains clogged
2) " " " , " get slick and slippery, and do cause unintended consequences, such as skidding, dumping bike riders, accidents, etc.
3) Clippings end up becoming mulch for growing gnarly weeds in the cracks between pavement and curb edge
4) Looks really tacky
5) Lastly, a flagrant violation of township zoning ordinances

I understand your fustration, but go out into the country sometime then they are mowing side ditches with the rotary cutters and half the road will be covered with grass clippings, shredded aluminum cans, trash and broken glass bottles.
