Bad Neighbor?
What with one thing and another, we ended up with a LOT of cardboard, packing materials, and other detritus. (Cleaning out the basement will do this to you.) Both our recycling bins were full to overflowing, and the big trash container was piled high.
Last night, we were finally able to haul it all out to the curb. Whew! But then I realized I hadn't changed the cat box. I did so, and ended up with a bag of used litter that totally wouldn't fit into the trash container. Not a hope. I stood out there in the summer darkness, wondering how to handle this. I didn't want to leave it for a week. The smell would get worse and worse.
My eye fell on my neighbor's trash container. Well, why not? I trotted over, lifted the lid, and dropped the bag in.
A bit of movement from something large caught the corner of my eye, and I started a little. My first thought was, "Crud! My neighbor is in the yard!" Then I saw it was a deer. It was staring at me. Caught!
"Boo!" I said, and it bounded away. I went back inside, kitty litter neatly disposed of.
Am I a bad neighbor?
