A man has come under fire for throwing snow into his neighbour's garden as a shortcut to clear his own driveway. He needed to move the snow so he could use his car, but rather than piling it up on his own property, he lobbed it over to the other side of the fence.
This caused uproar with his neighbours who blasted him for his 'entitled' behaviour. Despite this, he and his wife can't see what all the fuss is about, insisting shovelling extra snow into the neighbours' grass isn't causing any harm since it’s not blocking their driveway.
On Reddit, his wife defended their actions with an explanation: "They have a 6ft fence that runs most of the length of our narrow driveway. For the first 15ft of driveway, there's no fence and the snow gets shovelled into both yards. For the back portion where we both share driveways, the snow goes exclusively into our tiny yard.
"However, for the mid portion of the driveway, about 20ft, we are surrounded entirely by our house on the right and their fence/yard on the left. There, we put the snow over the fence instead of walking 15ft to deposit a single shovel. We live in NY and our first snowfall of the year was over 15in.".
She added to her post: "With 40ft of driveway, that's a lot of snow to contend with. We've lived here since 2017 and each winter have done this with no issues with previous tenants." When the neighbours yelled at the guy to stop his snowy shenanigans - but with his headphones on, he didn't catch a word they said.
The next morning, he discovered a letter in his postbox from his neighbour's landlord. The note read: "We were told by our young tenants that yesterday, you were shovelling and throwing snow from your property on our side. They politely asked you to stop but you ignored them and just continue. That's not cool and not neighbourly! If you engage in such rude and disrespectful behaviour you will force us to call the police in the future. If you have a problem, you may call us.".
