It's taking over
I'm not sure how this is developing, this urge to "reshape my world" ....is it something I always wanted to do and didn't dare or is it that some things just irritate me on certain days and so I act....or re-act.
Like a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting with a friend having a nice long relaxing lunch and visit at a sandwich shop that overlooks the side parking lot of my restaurant from across the street. (Yes, I do visit the competition...so I can eat in PEACE!) hahaha
All of a sudden this guy drives up to our dumpster, gets out and throws two bags of trash in my dumpster. That has always irritated me in the past, a fairly regular occurance really, but this time I just couldn't stay in my seat. I bolted for the door leaving my friend, my lunch, my purse behind and ran down the hill, across the street and toward the guy.
Well he saw me coming and drove out to the back of the property along a side road, and I just kept on acoming! It's a dead end so I had him cornered. I was gloating..... He zigzagged back and forth and so did I....up hill, down hill...it was like a bull fight...... he sees the futility of it all and finally gives up and drives up to where I am. Then I felt like the dog that chases cars and finally catches one...Oh great....what do you do with it?
In my firmest yet nicest voice, I informed him that such activities were illegal....I have no clue if it is but I didn't think he knew the difference. He is an elderly occasional customer ...maybe former customer...he took my hand and patted it and said " Yes, yes,I know, you're right" and drove off.
I think that is something everyone would like to try at least once...bullfighting with a car in a parkinglot....what was I thinking???? But I just couldn't stay in my seat!
