Yes. It can seem to happen at the most inopportune time at your apartment. Whether you are trying to study for a final exam, have an important work related phone call, or even just trying to sleep in on your only day off...you suddenly hear the annoying sound.
Its a constant buzz of lawn mowers, weed eaters, and edgers making your apartment grounds look really really nice. You often wonder why they have to do it right at that time, but I want to remind you that it always could be worse.
It could be YOU out there having to mow that lawn. YOU could have to take time out of your busy schedule or on that day off to cut the grass and pull the weeds. If you were a home owner rather than an Apartmentite, you would have to do it all yourself.
That is just another one of the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of reasons that living in an apartment rocks! At least they aren't making all that noise in the middle of the night and although it seems like it lasts a long time, the sound will end before too long anyway. So don't stress.
If they weren't doing this, you'd have a lot harder time looking for "landmines" through tall grass as you walk through the apartment grounds and it might be embarrassing to bring guests to an apartment that isn't groomed well. The noise is nothing that earplugs can't handle.
So the next time you hear the buzz of the lawn machines start going off at 8 AM on a Saturday, don't throw your pillow across the room in frustration, just put it over your head to drown out the sign. Drift back to sleep knowing that you, yourself don't have to go out there and smell like sweat and grass because it is AWESOME living in an apartment.
(PLUS...YOU NEVER HAVE TO CLEAN THE POOL EITHER)
