Thursday Peeve

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

I am in an apartment complex. I have a square piece of cement that is supposed to be a patio but has a bunch of grass between the cement and parking lot pavement. One perfectly able woman “walks” her dog and lets it poop on (my) area of grass almost every day. Summer is coming and I don’t want to see it or smell it if I choose to sit on my cement square.

Today she looked right at me and let her dog do it’s thing. It’s only a few yards further on the sidewalk to the area she is supposed to be using. An alternative—use your own damn grass!

So after a trying time with WP deleting my typing while trying to write a story, I was not in a gracious mood. After a year and a half of putting up with this behavior, I reported her to the manager’s office. Next time I hit a store I will purchase a sign for my piece of grass. Rant over🤨

Politics😵‍💫

The same old story; mean, pugnacious politicians burgeon on with their ideas that are a fallacy, inadequate thoughts spoken loudly to sedate minds and equate these lies to initiate action with dire consequences.

Fandango’s Story Starter

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: YOU CHOSE TO DO WHAT YOU DID, BUT NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, YOU’VE LEFT ME NO CHOICE.

Nope, I’m going back to the A&P! I don’t care if it takes extra gas, it’s all your fault! I open up the package of chicken breasts to find chicken gizzards! Yuck! You may have grown up elsewhere but we live in Canada now and I’m never cooking anything like this disgusting mess, ever! She shuddered as she wrapped the butcher paper back tightly again and grabbed her keys.

This story inspired by my trip to the grocery yesterday looking for chicken breasts.🤢

It’s supposed to be right here in this box. Could you speak up Joe? My earpiece is failing. I know, it’s supposed to look like a mailbox—or something, but it’s a great message holder for us undercovers, as long as we hurry. What? I have the wrong box? The wrong tree? Jeez Joe, make up your mind, I can only hold this small disguise so long. It would be a disaster if I suddenly transformed back into a human! Is the message in a pink envelope with lipstick kisses all over it? Okay then, got it! Mike scurried down the tree trunk and ran over to his car, now transforming back into a human.
