Local Residents Furious Over Iran's 'Common Sense' Water Ban for Tiny Lawns
So I’m standing outside my house at 2 PM, watering my petunias like a normal person, and my neighbor comes running over screaming that I’m violating the new ‘common sense’ water rules inspired by Iran. Yes, Iran—the desert country that’s telling us how to treat our Kentucky bluegrass. The city council actually debated this after watching some documentary about Tehran water shortages. Now, if I don’t water during peak sun hours, they said it’s “patriotic.” Since when is letting my lawn turn into a brown crater common sense?! My kids can’t even run barefoot without stepping on crabgrass. Iran might have sand dunes, but we’re not a desert. Next, they’ll ban sprinklers for being anti-environmental. I’m all for saving water, but come on—this isn’t Tehran, it’s Ohio.
