Angry Ohio man blows snow on neighbour trying to shovel his sidewalk - National | Globalnews.ca

An Ohio man’s attempt to be a good neighbour blew up in his face after one resident objected to having his sidewalk shoveled – and used a snowblower to show his displeasure.

It happened this past Sunday in the town of Eastlake, Ohio, when Will Immke, 24, decided to clear off some of the sidewalks on his street.An Ohio man’s attempt to be a good neighbour blew up in his face after one resident objected to having his sidewalk shoveled – and used a snowblower to show his displeasure.
Thoughts are.
Great neighbors eh?
 
****ty weather makes people cranky.
 

sounds like a territorial asshole.

i spent more than an hour shoveling heavy snow off of my driveway this past weekend. when i got to the front, someone had already cleared the sidewalk for the entire block. my first thought was thank you for saving me the time it would have taken me to shovel seven inches of snow from my part of the sidewalk.
 
Eastlake? He's probably a Cleveland Browns fan...

I had to sweep the dust off my sidewalk the other day. Worked up a bit of a sweat don't ya know.
 
Goes to show it's wise when you want to do something for others, to ask them if they want it done in the first place.
 
My neighbor across and up 1 to the right is a New York transplant who is just weird as all get out but came with a giant blade for his truck. My neighbor across and to the left is an old busy body who likes to sick the city on the guy from New York. It is an odd issue and I am fully supportive of the kook on it. One City department gave him permission to dig out his front yard to install gray water tanks and a french drain system to address a storm water issue he was having. The busy-body complained about the mess and another city department sent him a cease and desist order. Ironically they want him to restore the land but he cannot because of the cease and desist order demanding he stop all work midway through the project. There are also cat wars on that side of the street. I don't care whose cats hang out on my property. More cats=no field mice.

Anyway, New York guy plows our neighborhood and even plows my driveway right up to the back of my car without me ever asking. When he pushed the street, he pushes huge piles of snow in front of busy-body's house so he cannot park there until it melts and has to shovel the plow berm from the end of his driveway. I am glad I came down on crazy dude's team when I moved in. That he plows when it takes the city like 3 days to do our neighborhood is awesome anyway, but it drives busy body crazy, of course, and he is trying to get the neighbors to say he shouldn't be plowing and everybody else is like "Screw that. I want to be able to get up the hills to civilization."
 
This is a justifiable case for a bitchslap.

while i am a bit envious, the shoveling earned me a Big Mac and fries, so i'm not complaining.

Meh, you're for it solely because it benefits you.

hope no rattlesnakes bit you in the ass!:mrgreen:
 
Now tell me the angry, uncooperative, purposefully destructive jerk doesn't scream right-wing anti-gubmint "rebel".

Greetings, azgreg. :2wave:

:blah: Just for that, I'm going to wish for more sidewalk dust for you! :lamo:

I'll gladly trade you for the four feet of snow we have on the ground, though. Eastlake is about 45 minutes from where I live, but we don't have sidewalks on my street, so I'm safe from snowblowers!

It will all come back to me this summer. Global warming and all. I'd rather be too hot in the summer than too cold in the winter.

Update - 03/04/15 The suspect in this case was arrested on our probable cause warrant for assault this morning and released on bond - 03/01/15 not very neighborly – a male residing on E Overlook stated that he was shoveling snow for his neighbor, when he was approached by a second neighbor and shoved by the face and neck because of his snow removal method - shoveling snow from the sidewalk.......

I'm just wondering how you managed to find the web page for one of my local television stations, in Vancouver BC, Canada about an incident in the wilds of Ohio.

I've head of road rage....but snow rage?

The guy needs to....chill.



Sorry

“There’s a three-foot section of sidewalk that’s mine,” Myers said in an interview with WEWS News.

No sir...the sidewalk is not yours.
 
The guy was trying to make a political statement and his neighbor was ****ing up his political statement.

"He said he wanted his driveway left uncleared on purpose, as a statement of protest against city officials he claimed frequently do not shovel their own driveways.

“I’ll be damned if I’m going to clean my sidewalk and bust my rear end to keep my sidewalk clean when we got officials in this city who don’t practice what they preach,” Myers said."



So to make his point about busting his ass the guy spent extra time to shovel the snow back into place hoping that city government will notice that he is a lop. Forget the fact that he has a damn snow blower which makes the job, easy as vacuuming a carpet.

On a side note I new a elderly man back in Oregon that used a special propane torch to melt his driveway. Each time that he used it, his neighbor called 911 to report a fire. But during the summer during restricted fire condition's the same neighbor that called the fire department would burn his trash in a huge pile right next to his barn. Some people are just assholes and some are stupid assholes, his barn burnt taking with it his motor home and boat.
 
Meh, you're for it solely because it benefits you.

I am for it because it benefits the whole neighborhood. There are a lot of nurses and the like in the hood who have to work regardless of road conditions. Every time it has snowed this year, I have gone downtown to help somebody I know out by shoveling pathways between 3 plowed parking lots so the ladies who park in the lot furthest from their work would not have to climb the mounds of snow pushed up along the margins of the three lots to get to their work as the companies that do the lots just push it all up in big rows and leave.

As for the OP, my city has an ordinance that requires that you maintain the sidewalk in front of your home/business free of snow and ice. If someone falls and injures themselves because you do not, then you are liable. The guy who wants the kids to have to walk in the street instead of down the sidewalk is just a penis.

Kinda surprised neither party went the ol slip and fall on their property and sue route.....

Not me, just the opposite. You can always put more clothes on to get warm, but there's a limit to how many you can take off to get cool.
