To our young readers, let me give you a piece of advice…

It’s a good idea to be nice and easy-going with your neighbors!

That way, they do you favors, you do them favors, and everyone lives in harmony!

But we all know it doesn’t always work that way…

Check out this story and see if you think this person did anything wrong.

AITA for driving over the snow bank instead of shoveling right away?

“I am a college student in Ontario and we recently got about 14 cm of snow yesterday.

This happened this morning when my upstairs neighbor got mad because my parents who are visiting for the holidays left to get a few things.

Me and my neighbor share the driveway with them getting one side and I get the other.

Yesterday after it calmed down me and my dad shoveled the WHOLE driveway since the husband just recently had surgery and we thought it was a nice gesture, but it continued to snow throughout the night so there was still a good amount of it this morning.

The neighbor wasn’t happy…

My parents left early to grab some groceries and since they were just going for a quick trip they just drove over the snow bank created by the snow plow.

Then when my neighbor leaves this morning she starts complaining to me that it’s not very nice and we should have shoveled before hand.

When my parents aren’t visiting or when my roommate doesn’t have any his family over we let them use it since we don’t have cars.

The thing is my parents are visiting until Sunday and it’s not like we were just gonna leave it like that.

Sounds like a jerk to me…

Once my parents got back she also told my dad this which set him off because of how stupid it was and they yelled at each other for a bit.

And than me and my Dad cleared our side of the drive way down to the pavement which took us not even 20 minutes.

I’m going to school in a more southern part of Ontario but I grew up in the north so maybe it’s just different down here but still she made it a way bigger that it really was.

AITA?”

Talk about being a bad neighbor…

Some people like to really lower the bar.
