I actually had a leaf blowing wielding cretin point the blower directly at me to blast me when I rode past on my bike (I was on the road). I kid you not. This guy worked for our neighbor's lawn service. After I "spoke" to his onsite supervisor (he saw the full fury of an Irish temper), they both got in their pickup truck and got the hell out of the neighborhood.
