My neighbor has seemingly shoveled snow all night long-explain this to me

[Anonymous]

Hey OP, lean in to it. The next time he's out there, go out and help him for a half-hour or so. I bet you'll feel 100% better about yourself.

Sorry about your sleep.

Yep, this is OP and this is what I think. He seriously needs some other hobbies. The attention to snow is the same as the leaves (he will pick up single leaves from his yard and his mulch obsession) and I am not the only neighbor to notice. And he always parks his third car right behind our driveway so it's difficult backing out and never talks to us. Did I mention our neighborhood has no sidewalks? We are only talking about his driveway. And for all the people saying it's easier to go in stages--I don't buy it--unless there's melting 24 inches is still the same amount of snow to shovel whether you break it down in multiple sessions or do it in one session.

OMG...just stop responding. Every time you do, you sound more ignorant. Just stop!

So- OP has a beef with neighbor for other things (parks behind my driveway), gossips with others neighbors (who "also notice") and is not the one shoveling snow so is speaking out of her ass..

Hopefully the guy or his wife don't read DCUM-- OP has given so many details about them, it's obvious who they are.

OP, have you shoveled in your life? Were you in DC in 2010? You have no room to talk. I shoveled my car out in an hour, haven't seen a single person in my apartment complex shovel yet, and some cars are buried big time.

The likelihood of injuring yourself is less by doing it in stages because you won't be bending as much as the pile gets lower and lower to pavement.

Your walls must be paper thin if the sound of a neighbor's snow shovel is so jarring to you that you can't sleep.

Is agree with you OP. Really obnoxious behavior. If you have to shovel because you are anal, do it quietly. For many of us sleep,is invaluable and on the rare morning when we have no work, school, sports, or church to drive to, please let us sleep.

I actually have a white noise machine because I don't trust others to protect my sleep. My kids have them too. Too many a$$holes out there who don't give a damn if you need some sleep.

I guess I'm just going to go around posting this on all the shoveling threads today. The experts recommend shoveling every few inches: http://www.sima.org/discover-sima/public-safety/safety-tips/safe-snow-shoveling

Debate over. Mrs. Kravitz can stop peeking out her window now

Sorry but during a blizzard you are going to be disturbed by generators, plows, shovelers, blowers, etc. etc. Hardly one of the "better sleeping days of the year".

I just came in. I'm happy I went out once last night. I honestly don't think I could pick up a full scoop if I had waited.

Or, maybe he simply prefers to shovel smaller amounts of snow rather than 30" at once.

I don't get people like you.

then get a push shovel.

It is nearly 11 AM and I have yet to see one person shovel in my apartment complex. They are going to be pissed when they see how buried their cars will be!
