Last night the neighbour's truck was parked there, so Raquel had trouble getting to the house. Later she was out shovelling, and he came outside, so she asked if he could move his truck forward a couple feet (not sure why he was parked on front of mine, and not his house in the first place). So he did move his truck (actually he just drove off), but at about 3:30 this morning he came pounding on my door just loaded, all pissed off because he had to park on the other side of the street. Then he went on about how I should pay him $10 to shovel the already cleared sidewalk in front of my house (I think, I couldn't really understand him (Newfie+drunk)). I really wasn't in the mood for discourse so I just shut the door in his face; he yelled for a while longer, telling me to go fuck myself, then went home.

I totally forgot, there was another guy in this story. Just after the guy moved his truck, another dude leaned out a window across the street and yelled at us for a little while. I just saw him leaning out his window again, this time in the daylight, and I'm pretty sure it was actually him that was at my door.
I feel like a bit of a douche for blaming the truck-guy at first, because he seems decent. He has a bit of a limp, so sometimes I can't tell if he's drunk, or just having issues in the snow due to whatever his injury/limp is. Sometimes it's hard to tell with Newfies anyway; in the summer I saw a guy crawling around in his trunk trying to shut off his car alarm in a Canadian Tire parking lot.
Speaking of Canadian Tire - Canadian Tire Life Insurance??? WTF?
