[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your neighbor's were rude and entitled to ask if they don't even really know you.

FWIW, DH has helped our neighbor a lot after they moved in, even helping chop down a tree, lending them tools, etc..  But we became friendly with them after they moved, and DH offered.  They would not have asked if DH hadn't offered.[/quote]

In these types of storms you give neighbors a hand. You don’t ask a neighbor to use their tool on your yard. You first ask to borrow the tool.[/quote]

Some people plan ahead. This is no different than saving for college or for retirement or buying insurance for the catastrophic just-in-case scenario.

It is a proven fact that DMV gets some pretty intense snow storms. The history is irrefutable. It may go 4-5 years without the need for a snowblower…but eventually one comes in handy for most people. Some people decide to take chances and don’t buy one and then act all smug and mighty for those 4-5 years, patting themselves on the backs for saving $1K+ buy not buying an occasionally-used luxury machine. But then when a superstorm hits, they’re the first to beg for help. Elderly or not, snowblowers are available to everyone. P[b]eople who make financial sacrifices to own one shouldn’t get punished during snowstorms [/b]by being expected to bail everyone else out. [/quote]

So in your mind, helping out a neighbor means you are being "punished?"  What a weird way to view the world.  [/quote]
