We were coworkers/friends for a decade before becoming neighbors. She's the kind of person who will always help someone out with a smile. We got some snow the other day. I cleared my driveway and went back inside. Looking out the living room window, I noticed her driveway had not been cleared; just a small shoveled path that made it appear that someone had begun to shovel, but gave up. I could have gone over and snow blown her driveway. But her husband's truck was in the driveway. If he's home, he should be snowblowing, right??? He's a county corrections officer who works nights. The thing is, the snow stopped overnight. So it was ready to be taken care of as soon as he got home. He couldn't take the 30 minutes to clear that out for his wife before he went to bed?? For that reason, I did not clear their driveway. Am I a bad person??? Well, at least we all avoided a thread about your rude neighbor snowblowing in the middle of the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting... how disabled is he? Honestly I usually find that the physically disabled very much prefer to do almost everything on their own and when there are tasks they need help with, they don't keep going back to it unless necessary or at least have a plan of attack. How about this, I went to a manager in a movie theater because the woman next to me brought her 3 kids to a PG movie (Jumanji 2) and her 3 year old just wouldn't shut up and she wouldn't take her out! Manager came and kicked them out... am I a bad person? On 1/21/2020 at 5:56 AM, Steve O said: Does not make you a bad person at all. If anything, he's being incredibly presumptuous to think helping him is not an inconvenience to others. As Poojer said, he should bring someone with him, either that or hire a personal trainer. There's a guy in a wheelchair at my gym, asked him a couple times if he needed a hand but he keeps saying he's fine so I stopped offering. My bad person thing...have a friend that's 15 years younger than me. His brother was my best friend growing up (died 17 years ago.) Lives down the street from my mother...my 100 year old mother. My mother's probably in better shape than him. Help him put on/take off his compression socks. Take his garbage out. Whatever else he needs around the house. Draw the line at shopping. I hate shopping. He seems to think that if I'm going to Wegman's or BJ's anyways, it isn't an inconvenience for me to shop for him. I already shop for Mom and me, and have to fill in for her aides whenever one is sick or late or whatever (still lives in my childhood home, 24/7 care required.) He has 3 sisters living in town, says they don't mind shopping for him but he hates to inconvenience them. Doesn't seem to have a problem inconveniencing me though. At any rate, now whenever he asks I tell him not sure when I'm shopping again. Am I a bad person for not doing more? Probably. But I really hate shopping. No. You're not a bad person. You're too good. You don't seem to belong here. Edited January 31, 2020 by transplantbillsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuvian Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I may have committed an illegal driving manouevre and am willing to submit myself to the judgement of the court of 2BD. I pulled up to a 4 way stop in a residential area near my workplace and signalled left. I was the first vehicle at the intersection. After i came to a complete stop, a school bus pulled up at the stop sign to my left with the front extension coming out and the side stop sign being extended. Seeing that this might hold me up I changed my signal to go right and did so as I had the right of way in the intersection. As I turned right and drove away in the opposite direction of the school bus I was greeted with obscene gestures and threats from on coming drivers as though I had steamrolled their own children. While I am Canadian, I am not a complete numbskull and am aware that driving rules rightly prohibit and penalize the passing of a schoolbus from in front or behind while its lights are flashing and its side stop sign extended. As I was to the right of said schoolbus and turned right away from said schoolbus in the intersection I did not perceive myself to be in violation of the DO NOT PASS rule. No children were attempting to cross the intersection I turned right on and there were no casualties or injuries (other than those to my self esteem at being labelled a child endangerer). I would like to know if I have done wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should stop at least 20 feet (6 m) away from the bus. You can identify this bus by a “SCHOOL BUS” sign, the red lights on the top and its unique yellow-orange color.” The only concern I might have with your maneuver is the 20 feet (6 m) distance from the bus. Were you closer than that when you turned away? Otherwise, I can’t see that you were wrong, but I’m no expert so don’t trust my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the bus still rolling to a stop AND putting signals out. They shouldn't be doing that. Why did you heatitate? Make your turn left... AND the bus driver, seeing your intent, knowing you were first should have delayed signals until you cleared intersection. Don't open that door till you're gone... Boy... Bus driver was a real Richard Head for still rolling and putting out signals. Why did you wait so long too. You stopped, signalled before bus came to stop. You should have been long gone before bus was ready to unload children. AND again, bus driver seeing you, should have delayed till you cleared. You're not bad. The bus driver is a horrible bus driver. Edited February 8, 2020 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
