Lawn mowing FREAKS

I am baffled by the obsession with lawn mowing. We get a nice day, and no matter what the length of the lawn is, people get this notion that they SHOULD be out mowing. "Ah, geez Jim. Your grass has to be a quarter of an inch long. You need to take care of that before it gets out of control." OUT OF CONTROL!!!!
BRRRRRrrrrrrrchuggachuggaBRRRRrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrr KACHUNK (as they run over a twig, a stone, a dead mouse, their child, whatever...)
Did anyone tell them that Sunday is for sleeping in? When people decide to mow the lawn, NOBODY gets to sleep in.
