Some People’s Children
We own a townhome in a good area of the city. Unfortunately we have renters here as well. I know, I know, I’m offending a whole lot of renters out there, but too bad.
Anyway, over the last several months my wife and I have noticed that some people choose to set their garbage outside of the dumpster instead of putting it inside of the dumpster. Sorry, but if you too lazy and disgusting to put your damn garbage inside of the dumpster there isn’t much hope for you. Finally, fed up with this shit, I went through the garbage (you’d be surprised how many private investigators do this. I know, I used to be a private investigator) and found discarded mail of these bastards. There were culprits from three different addresses. I went home and contacted the HOA with the information and then typed up a message that said:
To those of you who live at ___, ___, and ___,
Please don’t be lazy and disgusting. Put your garbage INSIDE the dumpster.
I taped it on the side of the dumpster and predictably it was taken down after a couple of days. I put another one back up. A couple of days later it too was taken down and replaced by a lengthy note talking about ”this is a community, be nice, bla, bla, bla. There was also reference to my cowardice because I knew who the culprits were, but they didn’t know me. It was singed with a name AND address.
Well, me being me, I walked over to the address, knocked on the door, and introduced myself to the twenty-something woman that answered the door. “I’m the one who left the note on the dumpster,” I said.
Boy, this piece of trash got all defensive and tried to somehow defend her leaving her shit all over the place for her neighbors to deal with. “Five people live here and I don’t have anyplace to put the trash when the dumpster is full,” the piece of trash said.
When I informed her that normal people will hang on to their trash for a couple of days if the dumpster is full, or--God fucking forbid--they will actually walk or drive to one of the other dumpsters that are around she got really defensive. I pushed her near the edge when I added that the dumpster had been emptied a couple of days ago yet her shit still sat there. I then asked her if she rented or owned. “I rent,” she said.
“That’s what I thought,” I said and turned to walk away.
She stood there sputtering. After a few steps she managed to blurt out, “You better think before you break the law again!”
“Huh”? I asked.
She crossed her arms and stuck out her chin like she really had me in a corner. “Defamation of character.”
I let out a laugh and pointed out that since she DID leave her garbage scattered all over the ground next to the dumpster, she was indeed LAZY and DISGUSTING. I laughed all the way to my truck.
Now, back to the renting thing. Sure, there are some renters who are not disgusting people, but for the most part they suck. This one, who’s address and phone number I will post (if it’s public information) if she continues to be LAZY and DISGUSTING, seems to be especially stupid.
OK, rant over.
