It's a good thing winter has come to an end because people are not the kindest to one another when they are facing the frigid elements. 

There is something about human behavior during a freezing winter that brings out our primal instincts. Suddenly, it's survival of the fittest. If you trip and fall on the ice, someone might not be there to pick you up because they are on a mission to get inside as soon as possible. To that end, neighbors become, well, less neighborly during these times. They are less inclined to help one another out and more inclined to act selfishly or just stay away from human interaction as much as possible. I myself am guilty of this, but I would never go so far as to steal my neighbor's parking spot to get inside faster. This person's neighbor had it coming!

  • This author recounted the story of a local snowstorm and the unfortunate circumstances in which she ran out of diapers for her children and needed to take the car out to get more. When she returned, her parking space had been taken by another resident in the neighborhood. The author went on a mission to figure out who the culprit was, and let's just say that this culprit proved to be the prime example of someone whose sense of human decency was nonexistent during winter time.

    Many years ago a major snow storm occurred in my city. While we get a couple of days of snow every season, it's usually nothing major. However this storm was major.

    I had recently become the Mom of multiples and, of course, ran out of diapers (so inopportune) so I began to dig my car out.

    Ordinarily I would have waited but when you need diapers, you need diapers. I finally clear the car and parking space by dusk and off I went to the store. When I returned, someone was parked in the space. This was an issue. The

    I know it's a public street and no one owns the street, but when you dig it out you essentially own the space. Rules are rules. So I

    went around to my neighbors to find out who parked in the space and found the culprit. Said Culprit refused to move their car. Ok said I, ok. I got you.

    then proceeded to dig out another space. Where did I put the snow? All around her car, which was directly in front of my house. When I was done, the snow around her car was four feet high.

    Did she call the police? Yes. Did they do anything. No. They laughed and asked if I had touched her car. I had not. They told her that she should make better choices next time and drove off.

    I then poured water on the snow and turned it into a four foot wall of ice. She couldn't move her car for two weeks. Never parked in front of my house again.

    would shovel their steps and walkway but not ours and no parking spaces. We only had one car at the time so l would shovel one spot in front of the house and they parked in it the first time!

    After that I put 4 metal folding chairs in the shoveled spot every time. Hated that place, hated those people, so happy when we left for a brand new condo with numbered and shoveled spots.
