Why ??????????????
As I sit this morning, in my 39th year of working in hospitality, I genuinely thought I’d seen the best and worst of humanity & that nothing can surprise me anymore….. But I was wrong !!!!
Throughout the hours of darkness last night, somebody or somebodies, who can only be referred to as subhuman, amoebic pond life creatures, decided to bestow upon us a gift of three dozen sacks of builders waste.
Granted, they were kind enough in the initial stages, to completely fill our refuse bins, in an effort to contain their disposal items, but sadly, I hadn’t been considerate enough to provide them with sufficient waste receptacles, so the remaining dozen or so sacks, were discarded in and around the general vicinity.
I’d like to apologise to Stig and co ( not the top gear driver ) for not thinking ahead and ensuring that we provided adequate refuse containers for your illegal, thoughtless & selfish requirements.
I’d also like to thank these individuals for allowing me to take time out of my already busy day to now remove EVERY SINGLE BAG & attempt to contact the relevant authorities, in order to remove said waste in a safe, legal and effective manner…… If only the local authorities could come up with a way in which people could responsibly dispose of their own waste…. Now there’s an idea…. I’ve even thought of a name for it…. They could call it a waste disposal & management centre… actually, that maybe a bit corporate sounding. Let’s call it a tip instead !!!
I consider myself to be a rational, level headed, if occasionally grumpy middle aged man, who likes to see the best in people, but this morning, I’m afraid the cup runs empty & I find myself openly wishing harm upon these pitiful, lowlife, verminous little rodents.
I can assure you all that once I have drawn this initial rant to its natural conclusion, I will spend a long time, endlessly trawling the CCTV hard drive, in an effort to establish the identity of the aforementioned pond life & if successful, will gladly update you with photographic evidence & vehicle registration details.
Until then, I bid you all ( except stig & co obviously) a good day & hope that if nothing else, our specific misfortune & my subsequent verbal chuntering has at least entertained you during your morning coffee.
Tatty bye
