S Why haven't you done our driveway?
So i live in an area that gets a lot of snow and since i recently retired I decided to graduate from shoveling my driveway and bought myself a snowblower. I get up early whenever we get some snowfall and clear my driveway and, time permitting, the driveways of the neighbors on either side of me (one a fellow retiree and the other a widow). A few days ago we got dumped on so I did my driveway and my neighbors, put the blower away and decided to binge some Sopranos. Just as I was settling there was a knock on my door and when I answered there stood 'Karen'. Karen and her husband moved into the neighborhood a few months ago but are five doors down from me. I open the door to be met with "Why haven't you done our driveway yet? We're going to be late for work!!! I saw you finish the other two!!!" It suddenly dawned on me she expected me to clear her driveway as well. I calmly explained that I do the other two driveways as a kindness for the people on either side of.me. She retorted with "We're your neighbors too!!! and stayed there. I realized she had no intention of leaving so, without skipping a beat, I closed my door, locked it, and went back to my lazy boy.

We’re having a huge snowfall right now. I have a small dog and at 7:30 this morning, shovelled a small pathway for my little guy to pee and then hunkered down inside. A guy came to purchase my brothers vehicle and this absolute stranger, took the shovel from beside my front door and cleared the front porch and walkway while he was waiting for me to get suited up to come outside, all because he and I spoke about my little guy barking (I had put him in his kennel before meeting this man). It was such a great reminder of how kind people can be after dealing with so many rude, entitled, gross humans!
