Today, a stranger was kind enough to plow my driveway during a blizzard. However, they were not kind enough to leave their number after plowing the front end of my car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, driving out of my neighbourhood, I encountered three snow plows heading towards me. I tried to turn around in a stranger's driveway but wasn't fast enough, and they left a wall 4-feet high of ice and snow, blocking me in. I rang the doorbell, borrowed their shovel and dug out their driveway. Its -32 with wind-chill. FML
Today, I got stuck in the snow in the middle of street. As I was just beginning to get myself unstuck, the snow plow came by and buried the front end of my car. FML
Today, the company that was supposed to clear our apartment's parking lot never showed up. I almost got frostbite in my fingers trying to shovel someone's car out since my gloves got soaking wet. FML
Today, I offered to stay late at my delivery job because it was snowing and several people called out. An hour later I got rear ended. FML
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, I came home to find a note on my door. I thought it was from my elderly disabled neighbors thanking me for cleaning off their snow covered car, since about 6 inches came down. It was from them, only it said I owed them for damages to their car. Damages that were already there. FML
Today, I found out that we're supposed to get 3 feet of snow, and the person who plows our driveway is out of town. We're stranded on a huge hill. 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
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
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

Most women aren't proud to admit that their front end was plowed by a stranger. Wait, what?

I'm going to say that a plowed driveway isn't worth that...

Dang! That sucks! Upside, no need to get the snow shovel :)

Downside: OP needs to spend money to fix their car

Unless Op wants to smash someone's face with a snow shovel. And OP, you could possibly do some simple detective work and ask around for neighbors with snow plows, the person probably lives close. If he came from across town to plow your snow.. Then good luck.

It doesn't matter how bad of a snow storm it was, 28, OP still has to get their car fixed.

28- pfft, you live in Texas. I don't live that far from you, it doesn't snow that much here.

You know it snows pretty hard in some parts of Texas...

At #45 I live in Texas, and it snows a lot. Blizzards with -15 degree windchill.

Try living in Canada. Where I'm from, we got a foot of snow. Then the snowplows plow half of it from the road onto the end of the driveway. That's a big pain in the ass.

What part of Canada do you live in? In southern BC where I live we're lucky to get a couple of inches of snow.

It's the thought that counts, right? ... Wrong!

That's a thought that he should have kept to himself.

Could it have been the city roads crew? They're infamous for hitting parked vehicles and driving away here.

#7, they are indeed infamous for hitting cars and driving on, but alas, they are far more infamous for blocking shoveled driveways by ploughing the streets than they are for ploughing unshoveled driveways, even to hit cars that might be parked there.
TheDrifter 24
Here they'll put the wing down and plow the first 8 feet or so to keep the road from drifting. Which is great, unless you have a short drive.

At least that snow is clear.. Huzzah

I think the stranger owns a car repair shop and figured he would get paid for plowing the driveway by making you take your car to the shop to get fixed. Sneaky bastard.

Oldest trick in the book! (ok maybe not the oldest, but "trick in the book" just doesn't sound as good)

On the bright side you don't have to plow your driveway!

I think the problems far outweigh the benefits in this situation
