Shoveling Driveways: The WRONG way.
December 22nd, 2008 . by adminShoveling your driveway should be a simple concept, but people screw it up every year. I’m not talking about the safe way to bend with your knees and stuff like that..
Instead, I’m referring to people who don’t grasp the concept on where to put the snow!
NO, it is not polite to throw it onto your neighbor’s yard.
NO, it is not morally, ethnically and sometimes (not legally) acceptable to throw it onto the street!
It is this last point that I have a huge problem with.. I constantly see people who shovel their sidewalks and driveways and throw it onto the street.
Let’s analyze this sudden loss of common sense. You don’t want snow on your driveway, so it is easier for you to drive on.. Yet it seems perfectly fine for you to add extra snow to the common roadway where your neighbors, and yourself included will be driving regularily on..
If you talk to one of these snow violators, they’ll say “well the snow plow will get it”.
REALLY? When? Within 2 minutes of you adding snow to the street? Or 2 hours? or 2 days?
LEAVE THE SNOW ON YOUR OWN YARD.
Don’t give it to your neighbors to deal with. Don’t give it to the public street so we all have to drive over it.
These people are complete morons, and I cannot understand why such stupid, thoughtless, ignorant people exist in our society.
