Mid-50s dad scolded for removing snow from neighbors' property, neighbors get $350 fine after he stops helping them: '[The neighbors] were gone for 4 days during the worst storm of the season'

This dad has a helpful spirit, but 1 of his neighbors wasn't receptive to his efforts. 

Some neighbors are just naturally helpful, and these people are a delight to live near. This is the kind of person who wakes up on a Saturday morning and does all of the chores at his house, then starts mowing the lawns or blowing leaves for those in the surrounding houses. Why? There's no real reason — they just feel driven to do this. Some folks find zen in doing chores like that, and they're perfectly content to beautify their neighbor's homes in the name of getting lost in the zone for a few hours. Plus, there often are some rewards for doing a little extra, whether it's a plate of cookies or just a big smile from the person who lives next door. 

This dad sounds like that kind of person who enjoys staying busy and being a helpful guy. However, some people aren't friendly, and they'll let you know it. Dad tried to blow some snow from the neighbor's property, and they told him off! I can't imagine why — using a snow blower is like, 20 times faster than manually shoveling it, and it's not like Dad was asking for money. Some people just can't accept a good thing at face value. 

However, as you can read all about below, things did take a turn for that family… but only after they'd already been given a 3-figure fine from the city! Check it out and see if you'd side with the dad, or with the unneighborly guy next door.
