[JCU]

A plower is supposed to come by and do the church parking lots and our driveway whenever it snows. Mom has had to wake Dad to help dig a way out more than once. And yet, do they change people?

 

[CODawn]

These idiots were supposed to come out and fix it. Their "fix" was to dump random piles of salt.
