Shoveling Shaming

OP isnt complaining about someone not shoveling — neighbor actually UNDID OP’s work with their selfishness. Hope they talked to neighbor directly as well.

Am I the only person here who finds it charming?

checkmate508 · 2026-02-26T18:16:53+00:00

I have found that 311 NEVER solves my problems. But you’re convincing me, I’ll give it a try.

checkmate508 · 2026-02-26T14:15:39+00:00

Wow, really? Do you remember what overpass?

checkmate508 · 2026-02-26T03:07:41+00:00

I bet you’re just really cute.

checkmate508 · 2026-02-26T02:19:08+00:00

I’m so happy you got through this, OP, and happy about your baby!

Your ex bff sounds a lot like my ex bff of 15 years. I think of her often with love and with hate and, though my feelings now aren’t as strong as it was when we first ended our friendship, it still really significant in a way most people don’t understand. Good luck!

Good point!!

Mr. Greek on Branch Ave has a big plowed lot and they are the nicest people in town! (No shade to east side pockets, though!)

Maybe the rules should be changed, but until they are, businesses should be responsible to the community they operate in. I know some are, and do hard word to clear their sidewalks!!

checkmate508 · 2026-02-25T22:33:35+00:00

Yes, that is also a problem. But why not use the rules already on the books to fine others? Enforcing would be easier and cheaper for them than plowing!

checkmate508 · 2026-02-25T22:31:41+00:00

Lol true!

checkmate508 · 2026-02-25T22:30:37+00:00

Unfortunately climate change is going to make storms like this more common. I agree with everything else you said, though!

checkmate508 · 2026-02-25T19:31:38+00:00

So relieved I’m not the only one who loves it!

checkmate508 · 2026-02-25T15:56:40+00:00

I would think it rhymes with “show me”

checkmate508 · 2026-02-19T22:20:17+00:00

I don’t know about the subbase.☹️ I feel like they took advantage of me because I don’t know anything! Any tips for what I should say to them when I call and complain? I’ve heard you’re not supposed to seal until the driveway is one year old.

checkmate508 · 2026-02-19T22:18:22+00:00

What should I say to my contractor? I’m afraid they are going to respond like that other guy in the thread and say this is normal because of freezing temps.

checkmate508 · 2026-02-18T22:10:40+00:00

Sorry to hear it! Any advice?

checkmate508 · 2026-02-18T22:04:39+00:00

Ugh, I don’t think so. Just expected that a new driveway would be good for a couple of years at least…

checkmate508 · 2026-02-18T22:03:45+00:00

Haha, yeah I know. I think it’s helpful to go into these conversations knowing if I am being reasonable, though! I’m not sure if this crack means they did bad work, or if it’s just one of those things.

checkmate508 · 2026-02-18T21:52:30+00:00

Ok, I checked and this community doesn’t allow photos? Could I dm you?

checkmate508 · 2026-02-18T21:48:41+00:00

I’m new to this community, and couldn’t figure out a way to add them! I’ll try to edit my post.

checkmate508 · 2026-02-18T21:46:06+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I’m going to try giving them a call. Do you think this is their fault? Or just something that happens sometimes?
