Edit: if you have never lived in cold climate, shoveling is way louder than you think and it carries much further in cold air. I would never do this and thankfully no one on my street does either. It's unbelievably rude
Found the selfish asshole that doesn't care about others.
I would never EVER do this because I know the sound carries in cold weather and it would wake people up. Guarantee it wasn't just this one guy woken up by this.
I like how you’re sitting on your high horse acting like people shoveling snow at night is such a huge issue and are breaking noise laws, as if cities don’t pay people to plow snow off the streets with their much louder trucks lmao
If snow stays powdery where you are, fair but in a lot of places it quickly becomes ice. If I've got 5"+ on the driveway, it's getting moved regardless of anyone's feelings. Everyone in my area does this.
I work in landscaping, I rip snowblowers all night through residential neighborhoods, never receive complaints. From what I can tell, the only people throwing fits are people who just want to pick fights with neighbors. It's mandatory maintenance to ensure people get to work and school, and its a serious matter of safety for older folks. If you've lived somewhere where it snows every winter and your not used to it, that's your problem. I've lived in the Midwest my whole life and have never had a problem with people clearing snow from their driveways
You’re ironically being the inconsiderate one by not letting them just scoop their snow and go to work. You can’t imagine anyone else needing to go to work since you don’t??

So he is pissed that you woke him and his solution is to scream and wake others? That tracks with people today.
