Dear Dr. Snowpanic,
I live in an Active Adult Community. We have a major problem with crazies everyday, but it's gotten ever-so worse with this blizzard. The residents are constantly bothering the snowplow contractors, telling them how to operate the plows and where they should plow and where they should dump the snow, that the workers had to leave the neighborhood because it was too dangerous to do the job. How can we get these people to understand that they are not the only blizzard victims, short of holding their faces down in the snow?

Dear AA:
It sounds like your neighbors have insufficient empathy for the difficult job the snowplow operators have to do. One solution for this problem is to organize "ride alongs". Pair each resident with a snowplow operator and let them learn the ins and outs of the job of snowplowing. As an added bonus, the contractors will be able to receive advice without having to slow down, thus speeding the plowing of your community.
If this fails, I suggest moving to a community of less active adults. If by the time they get out to the street, the snowplow is long gone, then the workers will be left in peace.
Good luck!
-Dr. Snowpanic
