Good intentions don’t always land the way they’re meant to.

After noticing his young neighbor struggling to shovel snow, one young man offered help, only to be met with anger from the girl’s father.

He’s left to wonder: Was he right to help out, or should he just have minded his own business?

AITA for trying to help my neighbor shovel her driveway?

I (19M) was already outside shoveling my own driveway when I noticed my neighbor (17–18F) across the street shoveling theirs.

I don’t know her, but something immediately looked off.

This girl didn’t look well at all.

She kept stopping, bending over, holding her stomach, and occasionally her chest too.

Then she slipped and fell in the snow.

I saw that and walked over to check on her.

This young man did his best to show he cared.

I asked if she was okay, and she said yes, but she looked pale and was still holding her stomach.

I wasn’t entirely sure what was wrong. I asked if she needed help, and she said she had to get the driveway done before her dad left for work. Her dad was still inside at this point.

I told her I could just finish it really quick if she needed to rest.

But the girl’s father wasn’t pleased at all.

As we were talking, her dad came outside. He saw me shoveling and immediately started yelling, asking what I was doing on his driveway and why I was there.

I tried to explain that his daughter had fallen and looked unwell, and that I was just helping her out.

He became upset and said that if he wanted his daughter to shovel the snow, she would, and told me to back off his property.

I left, and he put up a no trespassing sign in his lawn around a day later.

Now he’s left feeling guilty for his good deed.

I am autistic, and I know I often misread situations, so I asked my mom and sister, who both said they thought I was in the right. But I know they would lie to make me feel better.

AITA?

This poor guy was just trying to do the right thing.

What did Reddit have to say?

This guy wasn’t in the wrong, but the guy, however.

This commenter agrees this guy did the right thing by checking in with this girl.

In fact, the world should be filled with more people like this kind person.

This user also doesn’t get a good read from this guy.

He didn’t overstep, he stepped up, and sometimes that’s all you can do before backing away with a clean conscience.
