Passing The Responsibility
David became enraged because his neighbors demanded that he pay for all of the expenses without contributing! It might not have been a bad idea to switch to asphalt, but David was enraged and refused to pay for everything himself. His own daughter claimed that his father and his neighbors had been feuding for as long as she could remember! “Everybody here is a complete nutjob,” He said.
Passing The Responsibility
A Gesture Of Goodwill
David was the only one who cared about the gravel on the road because he was so nice and had such goodwill. It was not his property, so he had no obligation to fix it all by himself, but he did. Nobody offered to assist. His daughter had had enough of all the squabbles. His father was dissatisfied that no one seemed to appreciate what he was doing; instead, his neighbors tried to take advantage of his good manners, but he was not going to be stepped on.
