Push mower. I detest the task but you gotta keep on it. If your yard went to hell what would the neighbors think??!?!! They would make character assumptions about you and then what would you have?

Sold my house in 05, but it was pushmower all the way, and I was one of those psych suburbanites who mowed twice a week.

My mower is literally held together with duct tape. Also, the mulcher kept clogging up so it had to be removed, so now the back hatch is being held open by a metal rod (also held on with duct tape) which means the grass shoots out the back. By the time I'm done, my legs look like She-Hulk after four months of not shaving. I had the same thing only we used a bungee cord to hold it open. Have you gotten a stick in the shin yet? Not fun. Anyway, I push mow, unless my nephew is around, in which case he push mows and uses the weed eater. I don't use the weed eater. I have a nephew and a husband, one of them does it or it does not get done.

I hate mowing. Once I was old enough, my dad had me mowing f***in' everything. We grew up on an acreage (my brother and I, not my dad)...we had an assload of f***in' lawn. I had to mow the front lawn, the back lawn, the sheep pasture (since sheep had been in it for about, oh, 10 years or so), the grass around the dugout, the grass and shit that grew in between the trees.....I f***in' hate mowing.
Although after I moved out, I wish I had taken my lawnmower, I assume it was mine, because my dad always, "Go get your lawn mower and cut the grass". We left it after we moved into the city. It was gas powered (my dugout one), but I swear it was the first one made after the Flintstones model died off. You had take the air filter off and manually choke the damn thing to get it to start. Otherwise, I had a riding mower otherwise, which had no bag, so I had to go sweep it all up afterward with the shitty lawnsweeper which barely worked.

Me, personally? I use a pair of scissors. You can either get the job done fast or you can get the job done right.

Pushmower. I kind of enjoy doing it honestly. *shrug* Same.
