As Promised…
Recall the first note i found the other day. Well, I saw this big black truck pull up in our lot as I was leaving and I saw the guy so I decided I'd talk to him "as promised." So he didn't seem too bad. I think he's had lots of notes called on him. There is one on a door downstairs (I think it's probably his door) that says something to the effect of "if there are loud noises coming from the apt, come talk to me before you call the police." Which, I GET!
So yeah, he didn't seem like that bad of a guy and all is well. I told him it's just hard to get out of spots and kinda annoying so avoiding parking there would be nice. He got a note on his truck which in all honesty was kind of the person. I have wanted to tow people who park there. Hell, it may have been from the apartment people. I'll try to click a picture of the note on his door. It's pretty great.
This is messed up.
There are some classic lines:
Guy: "You're not an American!" Host: ".... I AM an American?"
Anyways, it's worth watching and only 7 minutes long. I need to watch ABC primetime more often. Dateline always had that crazy pedo stuff on. It's hard to believe people are OK with this. I am so sheltered.
This just made me think about if I've ever let this kinda thing happen without saying anything. The only thing I can remember is that I was at Wacky Waters (waterpark just outside the Quad Cities) when I was real young and I met this guy and his brother that I hung out with all day. We went to play miniature golf and there were these guys behind us that kept hitting their ball up while we were still on the hole! Except, we started to notice that they only did it to the guy's brother, who happened to have some developmental disability, but they would NOT do it when either I or my friend were putting. His brother would make a comment back at the guys and they would just laugh at him. I got pissed for the 10 year old or whatever I was. Finally they hit their ball up on him, I stepped up on the it and hit the goddamn thing out of the park. Pain Stewart style! Of course I got kicked out of the miniature golf course but it was worth it. The guy running it was just some punk teenager who should've seen what was happening but was too busy looking at girls or something. Those guys were pricks. I think that's the closest I ever got to standing up for someone else that was being picked on for something they couldn't change.
If you don't say anything you're just as bad as the people that say something negative. Letting people think it's OK to do shitty things doesn't help anyone. Luckily I live in a town where I don't encounter that much.
Notes I found today.
I have found two notes today. The first was on my car windshield. I think I may submit this to passive-aggressive notes
Everybody and there mom parks on that curb in the alley so whoever has a problem with the black truck that parks there please text 630-xxx-xxxx or leave a message with at 101B with your apt number before you do anything absurd.
I am not mad about the note, it's just weird... First, this note looks handmade, and almost every car had one, so I can only assume someone wrote out like 25 notes by hand. Second, they spelled 'their' as 'there' which is a common mistake, probably brought on by anger. Last, I don't know what 'alley' they're talking about. I think they may mean the part in our parking lot where people are not supposed to park but do and make it hard for everyone else to get their car out of their spots. I will say that I do hate people that park their vehicles there. I think that this guy is wrong but to be fair, i think everyone else who parks there is wrong, even those peoples' mothers! I am going to investigate further (ie. go talk to the guy). Hopefully I can convince him that while it's convenient to park there, it is a pain for everyone else. ESPECIALLY if it's a truck cause those things are HUGE and make it even harder to get out of your spot (that is really a spot). MY mom would probably say something like, "if your friends all jumped off a bridge would you do it too?" If I was mad at her I'd say "YES!!!" But in reality we know that's a rhetorical question and the answer is no.
As an added bonus is this note. Double Sided! All I'll say here is that someone was buying bacon. They also wrote floor cleaner twice! Which leads me to believe that they are covering up a murder.
