Dark rumblings from the sweetie patrol
First and foremost, an apology is in order. 'Tis been too long since my last update. Ugh! Enough lamentations and exhaltations, onward soilders on!
This was a strange day indeed, and for this one event only. About 6:30 P.M.ish at work, I was in the back buy area helping out a coworker with a few things and I see a Charcoal grey Toyota Prius quickly pull up to the Trader Joe's dumpster behind our building out of the back door. I watched for a little bit, thinking it was an employee just cleaning out their car, but 'twas not the case, 'twas a dreaded Dumpster-Diver! Now mind you, I have no problems with the regular dumpster diver, he/she is most likley an eco-friendly person who may or may not be poor, but believes in the using of all things over and over till the bitter end. This is a cool ethos to live by and though I don't participate in it, I respect it. If you approach one of these types and let them know that you would prefer if they didn't go through your dumpster, the will return the politeness and not go through it, or at least wait till you're not there to witness it, having inside themselves the courteousy to give you some peace of mind over the possible rummaging-through of your dumpster.
Then there is the other type/ The self righteous indignant sonsofbitches, that get uppity, defensive, angry and violent towards you when you confront them on what they are doing. Such was the case with the Toyota liberalistic propoganda weilding GRANNY I ran into (seriously she was at least 55 or older!).
She was pulling flowers out from there dumpster and I watched for a little while while, taking down her plates in case she did exactly what she did. I walked over towards her and she immediately asked me "Do you work for Trader Joe's? I am just trying to rescue some plants and flowers" in a slightly nervous and strained voice. "No, but I know that Trader Joe's doesn't appreciate you going through their garbage, just as a heads up for you so you know." I replied. Then she retorted with some fake thank you bullshit, which quickly degenerated into a snide, angry come back while I tried to again explain that they pay for their garbage service just like she does and she wouldn't like people stealing from her trash like she was doing. "Yeah thanks, thanks a lot you facist, you're just like George Bush!" She snapped back. I was a little taken aback at this, but replied "If that makes you feel better to label me, go right ahead." "I hate people like you, you're exactly like George Bush! Facist!" "If labeling me makes you feel good, keep on saying it. She was getting into her car at this point and still spouting GWB comparisons at me. I knew the conversation was over at this point, so I replied with a hearty "FUCK YOU BITCH!" and flipped her off and turned my back to her as she drove off.
Well, at that point I went over to Trader Joe's and let them know what was up. They all had a hearty laugh at the GWB comparisons and I went back to work. That granny is on my shit list now. I know what she drives and I have seen her flabby old ass in my bookstore. Bitches must pay and heads will roll!
