    One of my neighbours sometimes hoses down her driveway in the pouring rain. Who knows why neighbours do the things they do.

      Are they ex military? Are they an ASVAB waiver? Did they used to get told to mop up the rain too?

      Yeah we saw one of our neighbors watering the storm drain. But also recently she drove from her driveway to ours - literally got in her car, backed out the driveway then immediate turn into ours, to come ask a question. Then got back in her car, backed out of our driveway and immediate turn into hers. So I think she is just crazy.

      Probably to hose off sentiment run off

      I once inquired about this very practice. I’ve been told it’s because:

      • Water restrictions are generally lifted when it rains
      • Easy rinse/prepped surface

      That all make sense to me if these idiots had a pressure washer, but its always a normal hose with a nozzle…

      There may be something falling from trees that stains?
