Snow Plowers Got You Mad??? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

M-17 · 02-22-2013, 05:26 PM

So I saw this video last night and figured I'd share this for you guys in Lowell, MA, around the area, or whoever gets a lot of snow too.

I understood why people didn't like this snow plow driver's attitude after watching the video. Ticked some people off and others got a laugh at it. I was thinking how much of a jerk, Dogg, sounded in the video at first, but I thought about it more and... the guy is doing his job. Maybe if he didn't post this video of him being so childish in his work he wouldn't have lost his job (contract). Which I believe he shouldn't have lost in the first place.

What are your thoughts?

I think a lot of plow drivers have this attitude lol Besides, what else is he supposed to do? Not plow when cars are present?

He has to plow, which in turn buries cars. I get that and don't fault him for that obviously. To somehow find enjoyment by making other people work harder just makes him an asshole in my book.

That guy's voice is like nails on a chalkboard lol. I agree with everyone here; he's just doing his job, but getting a kick out of making people do more work - that's messed up.

And out of total boredom, I mapped out where the video was shot...

I need to stop with the maps haha

I was visiting a location in Lowell for work today and there was a news crew right outside on the corner doing a story on this video.

Attitude aside, I am amazed that he did not crush the side-view mirrors of the parked cars. Luckily since he went really slowly so he can plow around the car.

In my city there is an over-night parking restriction on road side from 7pm to 7am. When there is a big down fall, you are not allowed to park on the road side so that the snow plow can do their job. If you park your car in that situation, you get parking tickets.

My pet-peeve with snow plow is that they always come *after* you clean your driveway, making a huge dump just blocking your driveway again. And they always come too late after you need to get out.

Wow, you can almost smell the booze in his voice.

The map is great.

What are your thoughts?

exposing it on the "tube" makes him one dumb as* mother f**ker!
i guess it was done to show people he's got a pair? really stupid!
someone stated he lost his job over this? can't begin to understand why!

If he plowed around the cars people would be complaining he didn't do the contracted work. People need to learn not to share their personal LOLs on youtube...everyone knows/knew a fast food worker (usually with a grouch customer) doing gross stuff but it's the ones on the tube getting slammed...same for this guy. Tough luck chump.
