Good morning, everyone. I got to yell at the same college kid twice last night. I went out on the deck to have a
vape (cooler than indoors) and watched the kid toss a beer bottle into my succulent garden next to my driveway.
"Excuse me! Could you please pick that up?"
"Oh, sorry sir!"
An hour and a half later, I'm doing the same thing and the Uber shared by the kid and his friends comes back. They spill out two doors down and the Uber car turns around and starts heading out. The kid chases after it, bottle in hand. As the car slows down, he ditches the bottle in the bushes across the street from my driveway. He fishes something forgotten out of the car and walks back toward his buddies, glancing at the bushes where he dropped the bottle but making no attempt to collect it.
"You'll need to collect the bottle that you dropped in the bushes."
At first, he shrugs as if to pretend that there wasn't one. But one of the girls from the group had partly followed him to the car and she's looking at him, as if to say, "Well?"
Finally, he sighs, and fishes the bottle out. "Sorry."
I fear this is the beginning of a long story...
