[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. People who make financial sacrifices to own one shouldn’t get punished during snowstorms by being expected to bail everyone else out. [/quote]

Pretty sure our surgeon’s wife OP did not make any financial sacrifice to buy a snow blower. [/quote]
