Today, my parents left early in the morning to run some errands, and I thought it would be nice to shovel our rather large driveway for them while they were out. An hour later, they returned from the store with a snow blower. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I spent over an hour shovelling the walkway and driveway, snow blowing in my face and down my coat. When I was finally finished, a guy started going through the neighborhood plowing everyone's driveways for them. FML
Today, my mom and I had to shovel our driveway after an epic snowstorm that left us with 22 inches of snow. We only needed to dig out my mom's car and not mine. After we did all that work and shoveled all the snow onto the side where my car was we found out my mom had a flat tire. FML
Today, my mom made me shovel our long driveway, as it had just snowed a couple of inches. It took me two and half hours to finish. She came out and said, "Wow, is this really the best you can do?" FML
Today, I broke, shoveled, and salted the ice covering my entire driveway. The size is roughly 8 cars' worth, and took me two hours of back-breaking effot to clear. I completely forgot that it was supposed to rain later today. FML
Today, my elderly neighbor used his snowblower to send all of the fallen leaves in his yard into mine, which I'd raked earlier that morning. FML
Today, I'm at my grandparents' house to help clear snow. I was making a path to the driveway by pushing the snow out of the way. I saw a big pile and went to kick it really hard. Alas, it was a step. FML
Today, I came home from school to find my house ransacked. The robbers shoveled a path from my back door to the driveway, through the snow, then they stole my snow-shovel. FML
Today, I shoveled snow at work. I had to because my co-workers refused to "get sick." I told my co-workers if anyone needs me, just tell them I'm shoveling snow. Our boss asked for me and they said that I left without punching. This also happened when I went out to water the flowers in the summer. FML
Today, I shoveled the driveway because there's enough snow to block my car. Overnight we're supposed to get six more inches of snow. It's like shoveling the driveway is a waste of time because more snow gets piled on it the next day. FML
Today, I went to shovel the massive amount of snow that was on our car. After spending time in the cold wind, I finally finished, realizing it wasn't my car. It was an identical car. FML

A little hard work goes along way in society these days since supposedly half of America doesn't work. So good job staying ahead of the curve!!

After shoveling the whole driveway, I have my doubts he still feels that it's the thought that counts. It's a lot of work for nothing. On the other hand, good exercise, yay?

#16 that makes no sense. That's like me calling my parents every time they leave to see if I should water the plants in case they decide to but a sprinkler that day .

It's still going to snow in the future, you don't buy a snow blower for a one time use..
klovemachine 24

You can also use the snow blower to dry your car when you decide to wash it.

I don't think you know how snowblowers work
smokecloud_ 37
Don't return it! I've come to learn snowblowers can be used for multiple purposes! Snowblower can!

Screw snow blowers, flamethrowers are where it's at.

Well you had great intentions! Sorry OP, but your parents should really appreciate it. When there's another snowy day you'll have that snow blower.

Well, you got some good exercise, but you screwed your parents out of the pleasure of using their new machine. They'll probably get a chance to use it soon, unless you go all John Henry on they asses!
