I'm gonna go at it from a different perspective.
Don't knock the kid for trying to make a buck. Kids lack common sense when they young. He seen your driveway needed cleared so he was trying to make a buck. Good for him. Most kids these days sit on their ars. If it was the father trying to make a buck off you,then I'd be pissed.
Also by going the extra mile that you have been,you might of gave off the impression you enjoyed hard work by not accepting anything for the favors you've done.
Did you approach him and ask to borrow his blower? Go borrow it! Sometimes it takes for your to spark up the conversation. What do you have to lose? You already put them on the black list.
If that's the worse off your neighbors are. You are far luckier then most who have bad neighbors.
I know you just venting,but don't stop being helpful for others,just stop being helpful for the people who proven to not to be grateful for your good deeds.
To many people compromise themselves because of few bad incidents. Heck your neighbors might be reacting off something that happened in the past and it has nothing to do with you. Don't ass-U-me the worse until after you talk to them. plenty off good in people,sometimes they need to be nudged to bring it out.
