I get so tired of dealing with rude, impatient people:We had a lady show up at our office with some baby squirrels she'd found. My boss advised her that since we don't have a wildlife person (we're a cat and dog shelter after all), she'd see if she can find contact info for a wildlife rehabilitator. The lady got all nasty saying she wasn't going to spend all day on the phone, and my boss said "I'm not asking you to. I'll make the call, I just have to finish giving a dog his medication." The lady asked how long it'll take, my boss advised her it'd be a few minutes. And the lady starts loudly sighing, saying, "I should have just left them out along the road," and stormed out the door. A rehabilator picked up the squirrels, but what is wrong with people? The lady was was so obnoxious. It's not like the squirrels were injured and needed immediate attention.
I just found out the hard way that (probably all of) my little polystone statues are actually hollow. First I dropped a toadstool. It broke, and it turned out to be completely hollow. Last night a seagull fell (probably by itself, it isn't the first time it acted up, it lost a part of its tail last time), it broke, and it also turned out to be completely hollow.This is probably common knowledge, but I really didn't know. I've collected little polystone statues for years (mostly forest things, like toadstools and animals), and I never doubted that they were solid. Not that it matters much, but it makes them harder to repair if they fall, and somehow I feel cheated.
My neighbor came over today (1st time this has happened since I moved here, but I knew her already) and asked my friend and I to move our cars. When my friend went out, he said she told him to not park in their yard (but didn't fuss at me when she came to the door). I of course apologized and we moved everything but I just feel like such a jerk ugh!It was just parked in the street, they were mowing the ditch. I would have parked in my own driveway but my boyfriend had parked his car in front of the gate so he could mow our yard and I couldn't get it in Now I'm thinking about all the times my other friend may have parked on their side instead and I feel awful. I guess they consider the whole ditch to be theirs even though about 1 car width of space is on my side?
For some reason, too many cars parked on the street in my area has become a real problem. It didn't used to be like this, but it suddenly got really bad in the last year or so. We live in a double cul-du-sac, and so there is only one way in or out of this area. If that street is blocked, everyone on my street is just trapped in here. It used to not be an issue that a few people would park along that street, but I think one of the local apartment complexes did something to force a lot of people to park elsewhere. Now the street is always completely packed with cars. I see people dropping other people off at their cars all the time, and both sides of the street are always completely full and hard to navigate. Due to this, the street is now too narrow for more than one car at a time to drive down it, and it's become a real issue to get in and out. If someone comes from the opposite direction while you're in the middle of the gauntlet, it becomes a game of "who's going to back up and let the other person through?". People also double park while they drop their friends off and chat, so sitting around waiting for some double parked jerk to finish their conversation has become a thing now.Also, my next door neighbor is basically running their own private tenement complex. They turned their garage into an illegal 2 bedroom apartment, and they rent out the rooms in the house to I don't even know how many people. We have no idea who lives there(occasionally the cops come by looking for someone, and I'm never able to help them with that because it's impossible to keep track), or even how many people live there, but they all have cars. So, so many cars, and boy do they all love to park in front of our house! It's gotten so we can't even put out our trash cans to be picked up anymore since there's always a ton of cars parked in front of our house. On trash day, I hang around outside to see if someone leaves long enough for me to get the garbage cans out. Even then sometimes they'll move them onto the sidewalk where they don't get picked up so they can park in front of our house. You can't see to back out of the driveway if they've parked one of their larger cars in front of the house, and my husband already had one accident because of that.
Just spent an hour typing up part of a story and when I went to save the website said I had to log in so I lost everything I'd just typed up. The one time I actually typed straight onto the site instead of in Word and it kicked me off without letting me save.
