![]() I'm not normally a violent or vindictive person. When I'm frustrated or angry, I tend to take out my heated emotions in a long venting session. (Usually on my husband. Sorry, hon!) But that's it. I get it all out in a verbal tirade and then try to move on. But, for people who don't shovel their sidewalks...*loud angry dinosaur screeching* Listen. I don't like winter. I'm already cold which starts the crankiness. Then, no matter how well fitting the boots, they're awkward to walk in. Next, I'm usually carrying a bag of stuff. Then, these days, I'm often carrying my daughter's backpack or other random items. When I am then forced to encounter an icy, slushy, slippery, unshoveled bit of walkway it adds insult to injury. I won't actually DO anything, but my brain starts plotting how it would take revenge. I've been known to toss glares at doors and windows hoping to stare the owners of these establishments down. I grumble, sometimes loudly, about the unneighborliness of their inaction. I contemplate dumping the sidewalk grossness all over their cars because there is a direct correlation of people who DON'T shovel their sidewalks but DO shovel their driveways so they can get their cars out. Yes, I do give dispensation for those who are not physically able to clear their sidewalks but our city also offers a FREE program to help this exact group of people. The last thing I want to be doing when I'm just trying to get on with my life is slip-sliding around or trudging through densely packed snow. And my daughter shouldn't have to risk breaking something when she's simply trying to get to school. Harrumph. As an extra note, if you're looking for ways to help those impacted by the wildfires in California, this is a good list.
