[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how so many posters rant on and on about the nobility of helping older neighbors yet it was OP’s [b]younger neighbors[/b] looking for a handout. Let’s not twist the narrative!

I think OP is right and that this sort of behavior is typical of younger generations. These are the same people that started working during COVID and learned that working from home meant working 20 hours per week instead of 40, no longer needing daycare, being able to run errands during the day, and starting up an internet side hustle.

1. See what others have 
2. Want it for yourself 
3. No appreciation for hard work required 
4. Throw tantrums until you get it[/quote]

That's what I think too, not sure why so many people are hating on OP.

The way people ask or bring up borrowing makes a huge difference. Would almost guarantee that they asked with a huge sense of entitlement. People generally buy their own appliances, tools, yard care equipment, etc. You don't really ask to borrow someone else's in anything besides an extreme situation like your lawnmower broke, but you're hosting a wedding.

Just the fact that they come over and asked abruptly would make me think they wouldn't care enough to use it properly & take care of it in the process. Snowblowers aren't a one use in a lifetime type of equipment, they should just buy one or shovel.

Sure it's nice when the neighbor with the snow blower does more than just their area, but that's their choice. The fact that some people are willing to do this doesn't make it a free for all for the whole neighborhood to use their snowblower.[/quote]
