What is wrong with some people? First this guy edges his lawn with a gas powered edger... and he grinds the living crap out of the cement the whole time... sounds like he trying to trim the concrete! Then he starts scraping together all the grass clippings and dirt with a metal shovel... which wouldn't be as stupid if that's all he had to clean it up with... but there's a push broom hanging on the wall inside his garage!

He's just trying to bug the shiet out of you, and knowing that you'll go and cry about it in a forum.

And like that guy suggested above, earplugs.

Doesn't sound unreasonable if he was doing this during a regular time.

I guess I'm an idiot since I'd use a broom to clean up grass clippings rather than a shovel? lol

Okay, the edger bit was lame, but using a metal shovel is perfectly fine. We use metal snow shovels on the greens at the golf course where I work...

On the greens... where you can get under whatever your shoveling. This guy was scraping grass into a pile on the concrete with his metal shovel and then picking it up with his hands to put it in a bag.

I bet he eats soup with a knife, and steak with a spoon.

Maybe he's lonely and hoping that you will come outside to yell at him, just so he can have someone to talk to for a brief second in his lonely life.

Maybe if I make friends with him he'll let me have a go at his wife :D

The aerators go on the greens and then overlap onto the collar and into the surrounding rough a little bit too. Granted it's not as easy, but it's still very doable...

Him = outside in the nice weather.
You = sitting inside probably still in your underwear posting on an internet forum.

So what??
I've been seen using a Japanese WWII sword to edge the grass along my sidewalk. (it does a helluva good job, and does it quickly!)
The crackheads who live down the block cross the street to walk past me. :D

That's logical though... this guy is using a metal shovel to clean up grass clipping... little blades of grass all over the sidewalk! Am I the only one who finds that horribly inefficient?

Out of all the stupid things I've seen people do...this isn't really that stupid. Its actually maybe just a little annoying at worst.
