I hope in life you never get like this

[We Never Know]

This is a prime example of how not to be. Its just pure idiocy, meanness, or whatever.

One has to wonder why the person on the left evidently doesn't like the person on the right.

Is one a dem, the other a repub...
Is one an atheist, the other religious...
Is one gay, the other straight...
Is the person is just an ***hole...
Etc.etc.

I doubt anyone of those conflicting opinions would ever do that. In fact those are the reasons of a bigot.
I'm an atheist and left leaning, my neighbour is a religious Tory, he'd do mine and likewise I'd do his.
There is a more fundamental reason for their selfishness.

What if the person on the left has a disability and the person on the right refused to help?

Maybe nobody lives next door.

That would fall under the etc etc. I seen no need to list every possibility.

That's a possibility. Still yet if I lived there I would clear both regardless. I think sparing 3 more minutes(probably less) wouldn't kill.anyone.

 

[Rachel Rugelach]

What if the person on the left and the person on the right are both able-bodied, and the person on the left has been shoveling snow for both sides for a very long time, and the person on the right has never made in effort to reciprocate?

Suppose that picture you posted has just such a backstory, and now the person on the left has become tired of being taken for granted all this time? So now the person on the left leaves the job half-done as a not-so-subtle hint to the person on the right that says: "Hey, it's time for you to do your part, mate."

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Thats not etc etc. The image implies the person in the left house is in the wrong. But it could be the person in the right is wrong and the person on the left is being wrongly demonized.

 

[Mock Turtle]

When I lived in urban London, up until my late teens, mostly we all cleared snow from outside our property - and would have done so for leaves were they present. And if someone was not capable of doing so themselves then their neighbour would do it. Not so for many other places apparently or things have changed.

PS I suspect that there is less clearing done these days because one might be liable if an accident occurred due to any work undertaken.

Is one a dem, the other a repub...

Is the person is just an ******...
Etc.etc.

Etc being....other possibilies

-the person on the left has a disability and the person on the right refused to help
-One is on vacation
Etc etc

 

[Shadow Wolf]

-the person on the left has a disability and the person on the right refused to help

Etc etc

And that becomes problematic because if anything like that is true the person on the left is not wrong but saying this person is in the wrong is an ****.

Has anyone said the person on the left is on ****?
Nope mostly made excuses.
No one besides me said they wouldn't be that way regardless.

 

[Revoltingest]

Maybe nobody lives next door.

More possibilities...
Maybe the snow dint fall on one side.
Maybe @Estro Felino lives on the cleared side, & George Soros lives on the other.

 

[Quintessence]

When first reading this thread, I saw the title, and the image. Where my brain went with that "jerk to the left" was "why did that guy clear off all the pretty snow and can't they just leave it alone and appreciate how pretty it is?!"

Moral of the story - please check your assumptions.

How much more effort does it take?

Honestly I don't like cleaning up after others but in this case it really wouldn't take much effort to be a friendly neighbor.

 

[Revoltingest]

Could'a been worse...
The shoveler dint stand on the snowy
side while shoveling the other.
(Compressed snow easily turns to ice.)

I think some people are overanalyzing and missing the point. The point is if you can help someone you should no matter how small of a gesture it is.

 

[Quagmire]

We don't know the story there.

Maybe the person on the right borrowed the person on the left's lawn mower and never gave it back.

Maybe the person on the right had a barbecue last summer and didn't invite the person on the left.

Maybe the person on the right is a speed freak and keeps the person on the left up all night playing the same Ethel Merman records over and over and over and then when the person on the left goes to complain the person on the right just turns it up even louder and maybe the person on the right has a dog that keeps crapping in the walkway so when the person on the left comes home after a hard day's work with no sleep he has to step in a big steaming pile of dog poop and God I hate the person on the right!!! I hope he slips in the snow and breaks his tailbone!!!
Give me my @#&$#!&! lawn mower back you @#$&$&@! tweeker!!
