I Hate People: part 3, The Trash Fairy Strikes Back

Back in the day I wrote about the trash fairies visiting my sidewalk.

2006.10.16, 9:55PM: Two guys wearing coats that were inappropriately large/warm for 50 degree weather were hanging out in front of my house. The suspects were making noise, smoking cigarettes, and oh, smashing a mountain bike.

Path #1: Call the police and describe to the dispatcher the scene unfolding in front of me as I peer through the curtains. By the time the police cruiser is deployed to the crime scene, the loiterers are long gone. The police officer and I share awkward glances as we stare at the lump of metal that used to be a bicycle.

Path #2: Finish watching the end of Heroes.

Both paths lead to: JC cleans up bike parts from the sidewalk.

    Nancy (next door) moved the bike onto the sidewalk for us this morning. *Not* the sidewalk in front of her house, rather the sidewalk in front of our house.

    In other news, I can neither send email nor receive a cell phone signal at the school where I am subbing. "Technologically advanced" school district? I think not.

    I guess she needed a place to park her car?

    So you're using my blog as your personal communicator?

    This is worse than the times when the Paytec guys would use my offce (cube) as a meeting place, while I was in it!

    Hey Gettle. Can you kick off a build for me?

    Deppen --- Since I don't have access today either, I figured this was the best way to get in touch with you.

    I'll meet you at the secret rendevous point at 10PM sharp. Bring foil. And a pair of blue socks. And a Wendy's crispy chicken sandwich.

    Don't be late. And don't worry, I don't think JC suspects a thing.

    By the way, you never mentioned how you liked watching Heroes. What type of bike was it? I could use a new chain for my bike.

    I don't know what kind it was. The good news? Someone took it away. Now I don't have to clean it up myself. Life is good.
