Why Do Some Folks Feel Entitled to Stuff? Read This:

55. When we lived in Lincoln, NE I once shoveled--not used the snow blower--the sidewalk

in front of our neighbor's house. They were out of town and the city would actually issue citations
if you didn't shovel the sidewalk in front of your house.

The neighbors never said anything about it when they returned home. We weren't close, but I would have expected
a knock on the door to ask if I knew who had done it.

These same neighbors ended up joining other neighbors in a lawsuit against us when we were planning to build a small
building on our property that my husband was going to use for his office. The city had given us a permit. All legal
and aboveboard. The judge decided against us. We sold the house and moved to Chapel Hill, NC. But first I posted
a "No Trespassing" sign and chained an open area in the fence between our properties that the woman had used
to take a shortcut through our yard almost every day to go visit a neighbor a block and a half away. I got a big chuckle out of
watching her have to walk down her driveway and all the way around to visit her friend.

You are right. It is a strange world out there.
