I know it's been a while since I posted a new way to annoy your teenager so I thought I'd toss this out there.  Now this can be done with other things too... like raking leaves etc... however, snow is always best.

Do whatever it takes to convince your teenager to shovel the driveway clean of snow.  As soon as he/she is almost done with the task... go outside and clean off the cars and then ask "Are you going to shovel that too?  The deal was to shovel all the snow and that... that right there... that's snow!  Get to it!"

For the leaves this works best if you have a yard and a deck.  Allow him/her to rake the yard and just before they are done, clean the leaves off the deck (into the freshly raked yard).  Same result, different season.
