He also typically beats me out of the door to clear snow. <br /><br />But, yes, there does seem to be some feelings of entitlement in the gentry class.

They're also the car owners who frequently fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.<br /><br />http://autos.aol.com/article/upper-class-drivers-more-likely-drive-unethically/<br /><br />And apparently they park unethically as well.<br /><br />We have a hydrant across the street from us, and we shovel around it and brush it off whenever it snows. We certainly don't want the guys and gals of the AFD to have a hard time finding it if someone is in trouble.
