Life LOL,.. I went Clint Eastwood on someone's ass and paid for it! - Page 4

The townhouse sits rather high on the edge of the drive shared by the rest of the neighborhood townhouses, making the approach to the garage somewhat steep and getting in and out of your vehicle rather difficult.

So, about a month ago, I had some buckets of paint in the back of my pick up truck as I had parked it in front of the garage overnight. Evidently while loading the paint buckets onto the truck some crack or puncture had developed at the bottom of one of the buckets and in the morning I discovered about a gallon's worth of white latex had oozed out and dripped onto the asphalt from the back of the truck (due to said steepness). I tried to hose it out of the asphalt, but by the time I had discovered it it was next to impossible to wash. I felt embarrassed but there was not much to do about it but to let nature eventually fade it out. Now the asphalt here is pretty ugly anyway with sloppy black patches and some oil drippings from cars all over it.

Fast forward to last Saturday. I drove to the townhouse and parked in front of the garage again. As I was getting out I heard somebody calling on me. I turned around and some 60ish dude, about my height and square jaw of perhaps an ex-marine officer (totally my judgement and comparison) walked up to me from a fair distance, put his hands on his sides and in the angry tone of an inquisiting warden, with his eyes fixed on the old paint stain, asked:

"WHAT IS THIS EYESORE?!"

Startled at his rude abruptness and consumed with the urge of not backing down, I looked him directly in the eyes and said,

"I didn't catch your name."

Ignoring what I said he went on, "I SAW THIS DRIPPING DOWN FROM YOUR TRUCK THE OTHER NIGHT!"

"And you didn't bother to knock on my door to tell me as it was happening." I said adding a bit of sarcasm, "You are a real caring citizen!"

"I DON't LIKE THIS," he declared still admiring his testosterone.

Increasingly agitated, I gave him a stare and said, "And you are the queen of WHERE?!"

At this point he backed out, angrily shaking, turned around and walked away.

Well, This morning someone has keyed the side of my pick up truck full length. Not once, but twice. Guess who's my #1 suspect.

(Footnote: I actually find this funny in its patheticness. My truck has already a lot of dents and scratches from all the building material and backyard brush that in the last few years it has carried.)

Just thought I'd share.

Some might bristle at your suggestion -- different strokes for different folks, and all that -- but I think that has it covered.

Actually, a little bit.

Just a bitter and sad old fart.

No, going Eastwood would have been to grab his shirt by the collar, put a .44 up to his nose, shove it into his nose, and tell him you are having a bad day

**bevischief** · 08-22-2012, 10:42 AM

Just go get some more paint and poke a hole in and drive up and down the street with it a few dozen more times.

I know he lives in one of those townhouses. I have seen him brisk-walking in the street. In fact that's what he was doing when he spotted me. I suppose painting a white blotch in front of his garage would be an effective middle finger act. But it would be too petty.

Too bad he didn't bring over a tire iron and beat you to a bloody pulp.

Yeah, I think it will still work. Just be patient, as it might not come off right away.

I guess the more common term for them is "pressure washer." We had stains on our concrete patio from lawn chemicals. We scrubbed them with powerful cleaners with no success. But an hour with the pressure washer took care of it.

Frankie can't do that now. That would be backing down. Frankie doesn't back down.

AND predictably the hateful troll/bitch reappears from his hiding hole.
