I think the thing I hate most about visiting people who live in suburbs are lawnmowers.
Honestly they are the worst. They make so much noise and you're burning fossil fuels to maintain something that is neither food, nor a cash crop. The entire idea of a lawn that needs this much resource is just beyond stupid.
At least switch to a push mower. When I visit my parents, I pull out the push mower I bought them. When neighbours see a gas powered mower out, they cross the street to avoid the noise and fumes. When they see me with my push mower, they stop to chat.
Lawnmowers are horribly antisocial and the lawn lovers don't even realize this.
