Low Key Easter Weekend Recap
Y'all it almost happened. It seemed like it was almost a perfect carpet install. Then the dude grabbed a broom and swept all of the carpet on top, swept the floor, then swept the stairs going downstairs. Thanks for taking our clean carpet and giving it a fresh layer of unknown dust and dirt all over it. Then we looked when they left and saw a gap by the baseboard on the landing we weren't happy with and I know they had to have seen it so I fear shoe molding is in our future which we hate. The final "of course?" We had a TON left. Like enough to recarpet another set of stairs easily. Uh, why are you sending someone out to measure to give us a quote and we have enough left over to carpet another set of stairs and have enough of another piece for a big strip in front of the washer and dryer. This goes well beyond the "10% waste" they have you get. (It stretches 2/3 the length of our basement) So begins the process of trying...
I was walking with some friends in a new construction neighborhood that only had a few houses finished. I happened to touch the stop sign on the street and the thing literally fell over because it wasn't properly secured at all. I didn't know what to do at first so I just pretended it was a guitar and played it making my friends laugh but unfortunately there was someone in the newly constructed house who called the fuzz. We walked pretty far away from the area and eventually a cop car did come but I was kind of hiding away and my friends talked to the cops and told them they had seen some other kids in the area and apparently that worked to get the police to leave. It's not like I kept the stop sign. I laid it down right where it was. I feel like I did people a favor - they deserved for that stop sign to be properly secured. Imagine what would have happened if a big storm came through. I did a public service!
ReplyDeleteSpeeding tickets (some people are born with a silver spoon, I was born with a lead foot - I've worked really hard on that) and one time my high school boyfriend and I parked for some alone time after a concert and we'd barely turned off the ignition when a policeman shooed us off. Never been close to actually arrested though thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a new driver I got pulled over by a police officer who screamed at me for apparently interrupting a funeral procession. I didn't know one was happening because no one had their lights on, there were no flags on the cars indicating they were in a procession and the car stopped at the stop sign. I had no clue, but this officer was beyond livid and threatened to have me arrested. I was two blocks from my house and every time I went through that intersection I remembered that.
