C’mon, People, What’s Wrong With Being Nice? February 9, 2011

I am so upset that this YouTube video is being shown on the news with the anchors commenting about how FUNNY this is.  It’s not funny.  It’s mean.  When did it become a CRIME for a NEIGHBOR to “steal” a snow shovel?  How do we know she’s stealing it?  Did she put it back?  If I leave my snow shovel out on my porch and my neighbor needs to use it, more power to her.  It looks like that neighbor shoveled the entire walk in front of the house; where’s the harm?  The fact that the bozo who shot the video then felt the need to cover her car with snow, causing her to have to spend a reported four hours digging it out is a sad sign that neighborliness is dead in this country.  The fact that people commenting on this post think that this is “revenge” is just sad.  I know for a fact that my daughter uses her neighbor’s snow shovel to clear the walk in the morning; I would hate to think that he would feel the need for “revenge” by blocking her car in with snow.  Where’s our common sense?
