To the construction worker who’s task at 1:30 today was to clean the driveway leading out onto University st, next to the clinical research centre: Do you really think using a hose to wash a minute amount of gravel, dirt and a few leaves is an effective or constructive means of doing your job, or do you intend to waste water and waste your employers money by being slow, passive and ignorant? Brooms were invented for a reason, retard.

Calling someone a ‘retard’ sure makes you look good.Anyway, based on the above I’ve got you pegged as a micromanaging A-type perfectionist who most people endure, rather than appreciate.
Guilty…Retard is one of my favorite words. Retarded is a very good description for most of the general public. Wasting water is a valid bitch. Oh since everyone and everything on the planet needs water, I would say a very valid ßitch. You are just being cranky or you’re a retard. Which is it cranky or retard ?
OP…do you have low flow shower heads and toilets? a dishwasher? ever wash your car? water your lawn?
People are missing the point here … as usual. the OP is complaining that a job that can be done just fine with a broom is being done with water out of laziness, therefore WASTING the water. You cannot wash your car, your dishes, or take a shower without using some water, so it isn’t wasteful to do those things in moderation. Learn how you read y’all!
no kitty…no point was missed…yes the person could use a broom, maybe his employer did not provide him with one…but the OP is calling the guy a retard for his water wasting ways(harsh?) Ever hear of the man living in the glass house and how he shouldnt throw stones? We all waste water..and that was my point. which was missed by you. ps…i can read. can you understand what u read kitty?
To play devil’s advocate, I think they use water to cut down on dust. I’m not saying that it’s perfect justification, but I don’t think they’re aiming to be ‘retarded’ or wasteful.
