A man routinely helped his neighbors at night by putting everyone’s windshield wipers up so they wouldn’t freeze overnight, but after the newest family to move in screamed at him, he refused to help them ever again. Even when they begged for it.
It Was Tradition
The man said, “As I’m leaving for my overnight shift at around 8-9 pm, I’ll put my wife’s windshield wipers up on her car and do a quick walk around to my other 5 neighbors and put their windshield wipers up on their cars, too.” The man enjoyed being a good neighbor and he didn’t want anyone to be caught out in this freezing weather.
They Suffered From Severe Weather
He lived in a tiny subdivision with five neighbors in a big city in Ontario, Canada. The weather could be harsh, and they’d get bad storms and snow every winter. For years, he had been helping his neighbors out at night. It started with him just sorting his wife’s car out, but when he realized his neighbors were getting stuck in the morning, he decided to check theirs too. It’s only another 5 minutes out of his night, the man thought.
They Were Grateful
His neighbors had been highly grateful for his help over the years. Most of them would forget to put the windshield wipers up. It was always a nuisance when the wipers were frozen stuck to the car the next day. The man knew how sometimes you just need to get on the road, or at the very least into the warmth of your car, so he really didn’t mind helping out.
A Nice Neighborhood
The man had set a trend of kindness; a few times, he had forgotten to put his wipers up, and he’d find out the next day that one of his neighbors had noticed and helped him out. People looked out for each other. This gave such a wonderful, friendly feel to the neighborhood and the man loved living around such kind people.
There Was A New Family In Town
One of his neighbors moved out and was replaced by a new family. They were a young couple with two kids. The man was leaving for work late one night and did his usual kindness of putting up his neighbor’s windshield wipers, and he noticed the new family had forgotten to do theirs.
It Was Bad
The man was a little reluctant to help as he’d only met them briefly in passing, but the snow was heavy, and they were set to get around 30cm that night. The wipers would surely freeze! He was worried they would be mad at him for touching their car but he also didn’t want them to be caught out in the morning with two small kids to deal with.
He Was Aggressively Confronted
When the man approached his new neighbor’s car, he heard a loud voice yell, asking him what he was doing. It was the father, and he was in a rage. The man could not calm him down, despite explaining that he was only trying to help. That’s when the neighbor’s wife came downstairs. The man was so shocked by this aggressive behavior he could barely get the words out to explain himself.
She Was On Her Husband’s Side
The husband told the man to get the hell off the property and never touch their things again! When the wife approached, the man thought she might talk some sense into her husband, but she only joined in with the yelling. It was so loud that other neighbors came outside to see what was happening. He felt bad for disurbing so many neighbors.
The Neighbors Banded Together
The man said, ‘They tried explaining to him too that it’s just something we do, but both of them weren’t having it.” They were too angry to even listen to all of their neighbor’s pleas. They ended up yelling and storming off whilst the man was left feeling very upset.
She Asked For Help
The following day, the wife of the angry neighbor was struggling with her car. Of course, the wipers had frozen to the windscreen, just as the man had predicted. He was returning from a night shift, and the woman asked for help. He said no, reminding her of her husband’s request never to touch his stuff again. She yelled at him, and he left her to her struggle. He felt a little bad as he assumed she needed to get the kids to school, so he asked the internet if he was in the right.
The Internet Responded
One person said, “It’s good to refuse help to people who rejected your help, especially for the problem you tried to help them with. They’ll either solve the problem themselves or learn not to shout so much before getting the facts.”
Others Chimed In
Another commented, “They get exactly what they deserve in this situation. I can’t believe they had the nerve to ask him for help after all that!”
