This morning while I'm watching T.V. I hear the D.O.T. plow guys coming up and plowing my driveway. I'm thinking WHY?! It has not snowed since the last time they plowed. It was windy and I had maybe a 1 to 2 in drifts here and there on the drive way but not enough to plow! So do they really need that $25.00 bucks?
Then I thought that they are just going above the call of duty and making sure that I wont have any problems getting out. I started to have nice warm fuzzy feeling for them. That lasted till I left for work and saw that THEY PLOWED MY MAILBOX BACK IN WITH SNOW! WHY? WHY? WHY? What have I ever done to them!
I now have cold dark un-fuzzy thoughts about D.O.T.! Can you guess what I will be doing tomorrow?

Somehow I find this very funny. It reminds me of a story in one of Tim's westerns - A Man Called Nobody starring Terrence Hill. Anyways, there's a story about a little bird that falls out of his nest on a cold, windy, bitter day. He crying Peep! Peep! and along comes a cow and poops right on top of him. The little bird is so happy because he's now nice and warm. Then along comes a coyote and he picks the little sweet bird up, brushes the poop off of him and then GULP! Eats him. The moral is "not everybody who craps on you is out to get you and not everybody who gives you a helping hand is doing it out of love, sometimes it's for their own benefit." It makes me laugh every time. ps you're the little bird
ReplyDeleteOh Krissy, I'm sorry but I had to laugh...I know it's not funny, but I still had to laugh out loud! Oh by the way, it's not D.O.T., those guys are just from your Township - they don't have anything to do with te Dept. of Transportation ok?
ReplyDeleteThis state, between , the county,the village, the township and the town of! If they get paid by my tax dollers they are all one in the same, in my book!
ReplyDeleteHappy shoveling! Maybe you could put up sign by your mailbox that says, "Please don't plow me in!"
ReplyDeleteThe next time you're home and you hear him coming....bring out a box of homemade cookies for him....
ReplyDeleteand a shovel for yourself, so he can see you going to the mailbox to start shovelling.
Maybe that would work? He may not realize what a pain it is for you to have to shovel out every time.

And that right there is why my husband refuses to pay someone else to plow our driveway and instead drags a bed spring behind his truck, In the dark. After work. He's convinced the plow guys will come anytime a single snowflake falls, scrape all the gravel off the driveway, and then charge us $20. Maybe he was right.
