Reddit Entitled Parents

"Salt your driveway so my kids can play there!"

I deliver newspapers as a side job, I feel so bad for the owner of one specific house I deliver to. All the neighbourhood parents collectively decided that this guys driveway is where they'd wait with their kids for the school bus every morning. It shouldn't be an issue, but the parents socialize on the curb, ignoring their children. The kids run rampant on this guys property, chasing each other around his cars, running across his lawn, playing in his garden and screaming on his front steps at 8am. I'm pretty sure the homeowner isn't okay with this at all, but the parents and kids treat him and his property with major disrespect anyways.

This winter, we've had a lot of freezing and thawing, resulting in several-inch-thick ice almost everywhere, including this dude's driveway. After one particularly rainy day, followed by a freezing night, everyone's driveway looked similar to a skating rink. Just as I got out of my car to deliver the paper, homeowner is coming out of his house, heading towards his car.

One of the mothers approaches him, and instantly asks "why isn't your driveway salted?" Homeowner responds "I really don't have time to do that, I'm running late for work, I gotta pick up breakfast on the way." this response isn't good enough for entitled mom, who begins yelling about how her precious kids could get hurt while playing on this guys property. She calls him "selfish and irresponsible" as he explains that clearing his driveway for her kids isn't his job, and that they shouldn't be playing there anyways. He finally gets past entitled mom, into his car and quickly drives away. Entitled mom walks back to the group of parents to complain about the homeowner as I get back in my car. This happened a few months back, the parents still gather in this dude's driveway to let their kids fuck with his shit every morning. I feel really bad for that guy.
