In this scenario, a neighbor is grappling with the question of whether they are at fault for refusing to shovel snow for their new neighbors. The story begins with the passing of an elderly neighbor, Mr. B, who was known for their kindness. OP recalls their past acts of neighborly goodwill, such as helping Mr. B with various tasks.
When new neighbors moved in after Mr. B’s house was sold, OP introduced themselves and offered friendly advice about acquiring yard tools for snow removal. However, the new neighbors came to expect ongoing assistance, and the conflict escalated when they confronted the poster during a snowstorm, expressing frustration at not being able to get to work. OP offered a shovel but refused to do the work for them, which led to tension and anger.
Now OP wants to know whether he’s an A-hole for not snow-blowing the new neighbor’s driveway. So keep on scrolling down below and make sure to read it till the end otherwise, you won’t be able to know whether OP is an A-hole or not.
1. OP said that his old neighbor was a sweet old man who was a widower, and before he died he started having mobility issues so OP would go and clear his driveway. And when he got severely sick OP and his family used to get him meals and groceries.
2. When Mr. B died OP continued to mow the lawn and take care of the outside of his house, Mr. B’s children were very thankful to OP for taking care of him.
3. Mr. B’s children sold that house and new neighbors moved in so OP and his family went over to them introduced themselves and greeted them, and when they noticed they didn’t have any lawn mower or snow blower they advised them to get one because sooner or later they will need it.
4. When OP was out mowing his lawn the neighbor asked him if he could mow their lawn and OP obliged but he also told them that they should consider getting their yard tools or calling a service
5. There was a huge snowfall that day and it was expected to be more, so the neighbor that day came to OP’s house banging on his door and asking him when he was going to be out snowblowing as they needed to get to work
6. OP told him that he was not going to dig their cars out so they could get to work then he said that he didn’t have any shower and said that he was relying on OP to come over and take care of it, which was a weird request.
7. OP told him that he could borrow his shovel but he wouldn’t be shoveling their driveway
8. Now OP wants to know whether he’s an A-hole for not snow-blowing the neighbors
9. Exactly, they are highly demanding and entitled.
10. Nobody told them anything they were just being entitled
11. NTA
12. OP is not a free landscaping service
13. Not even a single person said OP is an A-hole and we know exactly why
14. If she is so empathetic towards them then she can do it by herself rather than asking OP to do it
15. If somebody does you a favor once it doesn’t mean that they are going to do it forever
16. If they want it to be done so badly they can hire someone to do it rather than asking OP
17. It could be a nice source of income lol but I think he would refuse to pay because he wants it to be done free of cost
