Strangely, some people always seem to get the amount of assistance they need. Maybe they have figured out exactly the amount of assistance there is available and require precisely that much.
I think we all have people like that in our lives; that's why your vent resonates with the similarly frustrated. I hear your story and I know just how that feeling tastes. I've watched as every drop of attention has been milked from anyone who can be conived into contributing. Guess what? I now couldn't give a continental unless it's to take that anger out, have a bit of a look at it then put it away again.
Go for a run, do something uniquely @cate64 Vent by all means, but don't let it get between you and the good stuff for too long.
I don't know how you don't go out and belabor leaf blower dude around the body with a grass rake, @Ally Jay. As an illustration of the availability of a silent and time tested alternative for moving things around the lawn. Of course, neither of us would really do that, but you could look out the window and imagine it. A couple of good swipes then some really fancy scratching moves :)
