When I lived in the city the streets are narrow so on occasion during snow storms people would shovel out there walks and cars and throw snow back into the streets. Now I live in the burbs and most people have driveways. I saw about 5 idiots throwing the snow back into the strret after they were plowed. The have tons of room to place the snow in piles next to the street. I don't know maybe it's me but this is annoying.

I'm certain these are the same morons who think it's okay to drive around with a sheet of ice 12 inches thick on top of their cars.
JM - I always say that I'll 18" of snow where I am now over 4" in the city. Do you agree? Jersey City and Bayonne, etc are absolute NIGHTMARES when it comes to snow removal. It's got to be so hard now, they LITERALLY have nowhere to put it!
Anyway, yes, you're right, I don't get it. we have all the room in the world, yet people feel "entitled" (there's that word again!). I'm with timneh5 on this!
The thought process is that the traffic of people driving over it all day combined with the road salt will help melt the snow. It's not as completely moronic as it first appears. I don't see the point in it since as you pointed out there are better options for snow piling locations than in the street.
