This city goes and pulls a fast one on me! So here I am at work with my co-worker, good worker mind you. She goes out to take out the trash and not even thirty seconds later I get a phone call, wait for it...wait...okay, now for the fail. The caller tells me "there's a African-American female on the side of your store, she looks suspicious and she is wearing a red shirt and black skirt." about this time my jaw drops...'no effin way' goes through my head, my response of course is "she is an employee of ours and is taking out the trash, don't worry".

Just when I thought this city couldn't become any more dumbfounding, just when I thought I heard and saw all I could see as far as stupid...here they go and pull a fast one right underneath me. I'm surprised I wasn't struck down with a coronary episode at that moment...much less, what the hell is someone going to do to the side of the building? Plant explosives?

Not a.. not a... afri...


tards.

WOW!!! Ignorance is bliss!

which city that might be?

The one and only Joliet, Illinois...I know, I know..shocking...

Yup. The ham-and-eggers who work for a given municipality are often so lame-brained that they have to resort to such shenanigans as the above scenario. It's like they've got nothing better to do OTHER than to bug people who are just doing something as innocuous as throwing out the trash.

I suppose the city'll turn around and start kvetching about how you didn't recycle, too.

You should hook up with the gal in Utah whose neighbors called the police because she was smoking a cig on her porch.

Yeah. The both of you can spend the evening rolling up your own ciggies and get harassed by the cops because some overly-alarmist dolt has to get all nosy and stuff.

Of course you should have known she was up to no good, isn't it OBVIOUS!? I mean a person with trash bags....by a dumpster....in work clothes! Geez, can't you see the threat?! Thank GOD for the ever vigilant! Now, get that person to come into your place of work and file a report, PRONTO! Just be sure to reassure them that their tractor and case of Pabst will be safe in the parking lot and that it is indeed OK to come in wearing an oil stained wife beater and no shoes....teeth are optional, of course. They can even take off the white hood if they want. Friggin people, they never cease to amaze me.

I guess if she was wearing a red skirt and black shirt the situation could have been avoided. It is worth a try for future

Geez Robert1652, leave it to logic. Ok people, crisis averted!

Ever since 9/11 everybody's a narc.
