Default Why do people clear their driveways of snow?

So we had 2-3 inches of snow today. Why on earth do people
spend
an hour clearing their drive, just to make it take 5 seconds
instead of 10 to get the car out?

So they can dump their snow on your drive and presumably make
you
happy?

I was asking a simple question. Do you clear yours? If so why?

If we have snow yes.
Because we are house proud and do not live in a ******** as you do.

What benefit is having the snow cleared?

It means you can walk on that part without having to drudge it
through into the house and might even stop yourself from slipping.

But you spend an hour slipping and sliding in it while you're digging!

I wouldn't.

Then you also wouldn't while just walking across it. In fact it's
easier to walk through snow than across cleared snow which can be icy.

It could be especailly important if you have kids walking that path
or elderly people or just those not very good on their feet.

They would have a problem once they left the drive anyway.

But that would be their problem same if they went skiiing their
problem not mine.

Blame society bull****.

Or if you're expecting a fragile delivery.

Couriers are used to it.

Yeah sure.
mountineers are used to it but some don;t make it back alive, so being
used to it is irrelivant from an accident point of view.

Hardly the same difficulty level.

Or you might know yuo don;t want to clear the snow AFTER coming
back from the pub.

You won't care then.

I will if it puts me in hospital, but then again some of us have
enough sense to predict what can happen in the future.

Falling over in soft snow is not life threatening.

maybe that's why I've not taken up hang gliding or any other dangerous
sport.

Wimp.

As I said, it was 2-3 inches here!

Is that with or without viagra

Viagra doesn't change the length.

That sounds like the voice of experience.


Everybody knows what Viagra is for. I have the average (real average, not the crap that gets posted on internet pages nowadays) of 7 inches, like Mr Mason, and it goes up when required without difficulty.


I'm so pleased you and mr Mason can compare such things it must make you very satisfied.

Anyway according to the internet gay men like lengh while women want girth.

You'd have to aks wodeny about sheep.


Never heard a woman say anything but "I like big ones". 8" interests most women.
