shoveling snow sucks

I am so glad I don't have to do that shit.

There's a very funny story (which I can't/won't share on a public board) where somebody who was very shitty to me now has to shovel my snow for free.

Karma is a bitch!

actually, I don't mind walking through snow - that slippery slush stuff is way worse. what I really hate, though, is walking in snow in midtown. between the variable sidewalks - all are slippery in different conditions - and the sidewalk plows and salt spreaders, it is freakin' dangerous around there. the pavement stones in front of the hilton at 53rd and 6th ave - I've seen so many people wipe out there. ugh.

As someone who walks past one of your buildings fairly often, Armchair, thank you for for your efforts. There are SO many landlords around here who don't. There are only three or four buildings on my block where anyone's bothered to try to clear the snow, and it's a real pain in the ass to try to get around.

ho ho ho

your point being ... renters have no right to complain that home/building owners are too lazy to follow the law? perhaps you should give us your address, so we can call 311 on you. enjoy your ticket.

There is a law.

Yeah, serves those geriatrics, with their hips of spun glass.

If they fall on a unshoveled sidewalk, it's their own damn fault. It's G_ds way of keepin' them off of the streets..

mental note: park on the side of the street opposite where the snow plows chuck all the snow. i had to go through a 1-2 ft mound of snow. the other side of the street had maybe 6 inches.

For some ridiculous reason it took me AGES to both figure this out and remember it.
