An Open Letter to St. John's City Plows: You Suck.
I apologise in advance for the amount of swearing, but I am too goddamn angry to censor myself right now.
I need to rant, because I am so angry that I had to get out of bed, couldn't sleep.
I have been sick for the past week. I started coming down with it on Tuesday, but Wednesday I had a fever and my skin hurt. I called in the past couple of days, and was luckily spared having to call in yesterday due to a massive blizzard that shut down the city. Around 48cm fell, probably more in some areas. Anyway, I have a feeling that this is bronchitis, as it seems like I picked it up from my parents who both had it, have their exact symptoms. Was planning on going to a clinic this morning to get penicillian as I literally felt too sick to leave the house the past couple of days.
BUT.
Some fucking JACKASS in a plow fucking plowed around 10 ft of snow DIRECTLY INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I have checked, and every EVERY other driveway on the street does not have the same amount of snow plowed into it. We live on the corner of a 4 way intersection, and instead of continuing to push the snow across the
street and into the FUCKING DEAD END AT THE END OF THE ROAD, they gave up and just fucking wedged it into my driveway.
This is a three car driveway, but we have one shovel. ONE SHOVEL. Only Mike and I were responsible enough to buy one. The upstairs people (who I hate for a
multitude of reasons) have been mooching off us ever since they moved in, and I guess never felt it necessary to buy their own. The other people in the front apartment who also use the driveway are from New Jersey and maybe you guys just don't get the snow down there that we do, idfk, but they've also been stealing our shovel (but at least when they do they make the effort to shovel the entire driveway and not just enough to get their own car out while piling the shoveled snow in front
of the other two cars like the upstairs people). ONE SHOVEL. How the FUCK do they expect us to shovel 10 ft of packed in plowed snow out of
this driveway?
I am going to have to put the call out to all friends and family that can make it, because otherwise we are not getting out of our house until the snow melts. Like, I don't even know if I can climb this mountain of snow. Or maybe I should go get dressed up and stand on the street and when I see a plow I demand they either
plow my driveway out since they fucked up their job ROYALLY, or they drive me to the goddamned doctor.
And I was trying to explain this all to Mike, because I only decided to look out the window on the way back from the bathroom to see if the street had been plowed yet and noticed it, but he kept saying "Oh, I'll shovel it in the morning, don't worry." YOU ARE NOT GETTING IT. The snow is piled up past the fucking bedroom window. You are goddamn Superman if you'll shovel all that by yourself in the morning.
I think the worst part about all this is that, even if we do make the effort to shovel it out, it started to rain after the blizzard last night, and I can just tell that the snow is going to be covered in ice. And where it's all plowed in, it's going to be giant chunks of ice-snow boulders. This is fucking ridiculous.
Do you think if I took a picture of it and sent it to the city they'd at least apologise or something?? Because, and I am not even joking, the snow from the entire street has been plowed directly into our driveway.
Have a picture, too. As you can see, the snow is almost level with the window, while across the street has very little in comparison.
