neighbor called the cops on me for .....

[etherfast]

Hi,

My next door neighbor called the cops on me for "trespassing" because I kindly shoveled his driveway. .... it ended he didn't charge me or anything, saying that was to teach me a lesson not to trespass.

Here is my story:

my next door neighbor is a nice guy who is in his mid to late 60's but still strong, active and going to work. This morning around 6 am I woke up for a washroom break and couldn't get back to sleep so i went out to shovel the driveway, I finished early and decided to kindly help my neighbor with his driveway since he sometime helps my parents with the garden that separates our driveways. As I was about to finish around 7:40ish am, he was coming out with his snow machine, he said "WTF are you doing???!!! ... i am calling the cops on you" and left inside.

I did it to be kind and also I needed the exercise. I shoveled his driveways nice and clean without damaging his garden, where I piled the snow where he usually pile on his grass side. So about 45 mins ago the cops came and talked to me.

I hate life ... I am nice to others and I always get SH*T from most of the people I try to be nice to. Like another time is I opened the door and held it for others and get no thank you ... when i say your welcome to them .. they just say ... "yeah yeah whatever" and a few times i got a thanks

Next time shovel your driveway ON to his driveway....just be sure not to set foot on it.

He probably just felt that he didn't need your help, and got all angry about it. Old people are weird.

Sometimes beeing nice gets you no where.About 10 years ago i did the same thing as you and got crapped on.They did not call the cops but told me never to do it again.

Isn't this still considered as trespass?
I remember an example from a law textbook saying that if you throw a ball into someone's property without stepping on his property, it still counts as trespass. I think shoveling snow onto someone's property without setting a foot on their property will still count as trespass.

Anyway, yes life sucks. Don't help anyone because theres nothing good in return

he probably took it like you thought he wasn't able to take care of himself. just like how handicapped people sometimes get angry when you go out of your way to help them.

Morale to the story: never help anyone

[DaVibe]

Next time you see him, without getting upset, you need to explain what you were doing and if anything, you can stop that from now on if he would like.
Maybe he wants the exercise? Who knows.

I think that just has to be explained once, that's all. Oh well.

stop being so nice, there is no need for it this is Toronto.

Forget the old guy. I'm surprised nobody asked this yet, as I'm really curious to know. What did the cops say to you and how did they handle this?

Just don't expect anything when you do good things then you won't be disappointed when others do not reciprocate.

stop being so nice, there is no need for it this is Toronto.

I've noticed... Americans are so much more friendly than Canadians.
