Mom demands neighbor pay the local 12-year-olds who shoveled 14 inches of snow from her driveway: 'It's only $60'

When a big snowstorm hit the Midwest, a group of teenage boys were ready to tackle the snowfall with their shovels. It's an easy way to make a few bucks for a teenager willing to put in the effort! As these four kids realized, all they needed were shovels. They probably expected that they'd rake in the cash… but they kind of just did things wrong, as u/beaversm26 explained in her story below. 

She was curious if she was in the wrong for the way she interacted with these teen boys. Maybe they've just never shoveled snow before, because they forgot one of the most important parts of the task: they didn't ask this woman if she even wanted her driveway shoveled. What if they'd done all that work, and then knocked on her door for payment, and she wasn't at home? Then they'd have wasted their time and lost out on shoveling for actual paying customers. However, since this woman was home, the teens confronted her. And when that didn't work, they got one of the neighborhood moms involved, too. It'll just be a lesson for these kids to be more cautious next time. But since they're only 14 years old, they'll have plenty more opportunities to try again. 

Up next, read about the woman who gave her husband of 21 years a stark reality check, writing that "[I'm] telling my husband, 'Good luck finding a supermodel girlfriend."
