When I lived in lake effect snow area of the midwest, my neighbor would come over after a big snow and plow out my driveway. There were times I shoveled it before he got to me but when we got a huge snow, he was out there before it stopped snowing. I got him a bottle of Jack Daniels and gave him 20 bucks because I was that grateful. He asked me one day why my lawn person was scalping my yard when she cut the lawn and I told him I had told her to raise the mower deck because i wanted it a little longer but she never did. He said, tell you what, my teen son needs a summer job. How about he cut your lawn for the same price as her and he won't scalp it. I said, please do! It's nice to have neighbors like that around. I left that neighborhood about 11 yrs ago. Good people.
I don't get the entitled attitude of that generation either. What bothers me is that our generation raised those people and they are raising another generation that doesn't have the decency to respect their elders. I don't get it but I was raised by blue collar factory workers that taught us right.
