had that happen to me a few times when i had a garage sale. they said they did nt want to miss out. “since i`m here could i look around anyway” one said. after the second time, i went out for breakfast and did nt reurn till around 15 minutes before the sale started.
had a co-worker who left important paperwork and personal stuff laying disorganized on our breakroom tables. would always get mad if i threw them away. never would answer when i suggested putting them in her locker. once got suspened for three days for using abusive language over one incident. was told to stop, i did, FOR THREE WEEKS. did it and denied it was me said someone must have stole it. mind you it didnt happen a lot and after awhile it didnt happen at all.
26 years ago shortly after i moved into my house someone took my trash can and left theirs, because theirs was full of loose items and a few branchs. knew the trashmen who emptied the trash at the rec center i worked at then. they dumped it for me. called the police they refused to even fill out a report, because they couldnt be bothered for what they called a trival matter. and to top it off when i called waste collection and gave them the number on the can i had they hadnt entered it into their system for they sent it out.
maybe it was because that was the book that this all revolved around
