Futility?

I just spent an hour and a half with an Ortho gun shooting all the dandelions in our yard. And there are a LOT of dandelions in our yard... like you would think we seeded dandelions instead of grass lots of dandelions.

futility noun uselessness as a consequence of having no practical result

(*bloggers disclaimer* I am not saying that Ortho is a futile product. In fact, we have had great success with the product in our war against dandelions in past years. I will keep you up to date with this summers battle to have a 'proper suburban yard' - um, if I remember.)
