weird trash event of the week

[rmd]

so, i remembered to put the trash out last night. yay me.

but this morning, i went out and there was this bag that i didn't remember putting out, so i figured "oh, it must be from the first floor tenant"

but it was still there when i got back, and i realized that it was probably because the bag had started to tear if one picked it up. which is when i noticed that it was full of tile and masonry stuff which clearly didn't come from the first floor.

so apparently someone dropped off a bag of construction debris in front of my house on trash day. maybe some construction guys who pulled a permit (so trash won't be picked up from that house) have been putting their debris in trash bags and spreading it around the city?

You think they'd waste in gas what they save in dump fees doing things that way.

Time to put cameras on the front of your house.

TRASH CAM!

I've had that happen!

Slumlords hire people who do that. Bill Budigan's crap-ass crew gave everybody on the block of one of his houses an extra bag a few years ago - at $6 a pop! Of course, we couldn't prove it was his crew, so they didn't get prosecuted.

In another amusing Budigan stories, he was holding his annual big cattle call for next fall's renters, and parked in front of someone else's driveway (with the curb also painted BRIGHT RED) - and stuck a sign in the windshield reading "CAR TROUBLE - WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK" in the hope he wouldn't get a ticket.

Several of his neighbours called the police to ensure that he did, in fact, get a ticket. But they wouldn't tow, because the police felt they couldn't be entirely sure the sign wasn't true. Even thoguh it wasn't.
