Mowing the lawn—how tough can it really be? My partner makes it appear effortless. Sure, he always comes back looking like he’s just run a marathon, but watching him tackle the yard, it seems like a simple task. The mower glides through the grass effortlessly, and I often think, “I could do that.”
Oh, how wrong I was! After insisting on giving it a shot to prove my skills, I found myself sweating and on the verge of tears within minutes. That’s why I resonate with Ethan Thompson, who recently shared his own lawn mowing misadventure on social media.
Ethan posted on Facebook, “My partner asked me if I could handle mowing the backyard. I confidently said, ‘Absolutely! I’ve got this!’”
Ethan’s experience is a mirror for anyone who has underestimated the effort their partner puts into yard work, believing it to be an easy task. “Believe it or not, I’ve mowed before, but it had been years. Thankfully, my partner is very particular about our yard, so he usually takes care of it,” Ethan explained. “He knows me well enough to expect a little sarcasm once he asked me to mow.”
If his partner is picky about the lawn, Ethan was in for a challenge. The first time I mowed, I couldn’t help but wonder, “How does he do it? How does he create those perfect lines?” If you’re ever doubtful about the difficulty of mowing, try it—just for a minute. You’ll gain a newfound appreciation for your partner’s hard work.
Ethan’s saga didn’t end there. His Facebook album documenting the hilarious experience has gone viral, garnering over 300,000 shares in just a few days. The 36 images capture the chaos and humor of his attempt, and they’re worth a look.
“Honestly, mowing isn’t that hard, but I think I captured the thoughts that run through one’s mind while doing it,” Ethan remarked. “I tend to find humor in almost anything.”
The lesson here is clear: if you ever think yard work is a breeze and feel the urge to prove your prowess… just don’t. Take it from Ethan.
