People are so ungrateful

If I were you, I would be looking forward to a nice big deep snow and then skipping her. I would probably wave as I drove past her house too.

yes! and if she calls you after the next big snow, be sure to quote her the going rate plus an aggravation fee and ask her to sign a waiver.

I can't believe the hostility as I read this thread. Let it die....... Just don't do her drive, be civil.

I really expect she has NO idea how much it can cost to plow a driveway. Granted, I live in a fairly pricey area but we had an estimate on our 1200 foot gravel driveway and we were told $400-500 by a professional company. Most of the non-pro guys were charging $150 for a REGULAR, housing area driveway!! Also, even the pros may damage stuff, that snow has to go somewhere and you cant see what's under there. That lady is horribly ungrateful and with the cost of gas these days!!! I wouldn't even say anything, just skip her house. You truly don't even owe her an explanation or a list of companys to do it for her. Let her do the research and find out.

Thankfully, we have a nice neighbor with a tractor who helped us out. He would NOT take money no matter how hard I tried! So, I sent him $150 in Omaha steaks. It was 3 FEET of snow!! It took him at least 3 hours and then he unstuck my husbands truck that I got stuck. (DH gone out of town) He will also be getting eggs when the girls get going too.

Leave her house alone, she can pay someone and get it done HER way.

I was just thinking the same thing about her suing him for tree damage, etc. Especially if she's paid him anything. I would absolutely have him skip her house. If she asks, he can explain that she wasn't satisfied before, and he would hate to damage anything and to hire someone else.

This lady sounds like a jerk who would absolutely sue him. I would stay away from her driveway altogether.

anyo

x3...I would worry that anyone that rude and ungrateful might sue over something stupid (the tree for example). I don't know that I would even say anything to her...just go help out the folks who were appreciative. If she asks why she got skipped, politely explain that she seemed so unhappy with hubbies previous services that you guys just assumed she no longer wanted them.

I agree- if she is warning your hubby that he is not doing an "acceptable" job, then she might just be viewing it as property damage.

She'll have to learn the hard way to be grateful. (By paying someone.)

She may feel (for whatever reason) that she is not comfortable having your husband plow her out. She may be trying to avoid actually telling him not to do it. Just a thought...

Skip her.

I agree. It would be horrible to be sued for being a good neighbor.

Blow the un-appreciative woman off.
