When I lived at my parents’ house, it was not hard to guess why a particular object was where it was at any particular moment. Either I put it there, so I knew why it was there, or one of my parents did, so it was supposed to be there anyway. Simple.
Living in a house with six other individuals is a different story. When an object is sitting on the kitchen counter or outside the back door, it’s anyone’s guess as to who put it there and whether it is ’supposed’ to be there. (Whatever ’supposed to’ even means.)
So when I stumble on a situation like this…
… all I can do is scratch my head and wonder:
1) Who left a bag of miscellaneous garbage, including, apparently, a box full of cheerios, on our back steps?
2) How did said box full of cheerios end up cascading down said steps?
3) How many squirrels are going to die of obesity because of this?
Add these to the list of un-answerable questions that Gutenberg forces one to contemplate.

I’m not sharing a complete house with other individuals but just a flat on the second floor of a larger house. The obvious advantage is that the intermediate garbage storage facility is a balcony located about five meters away from the ground, so the squirrels around are quite safe.

hahaha. what an amazing way of attracting squirrels to your back door. you should adopt one as a pet… i think they would be a good pet (provided you let them out a lot).
Also to comment on a previous post.. i wonder if the person who swallowed all the super glue is ok…

i’m glad you got pictures before i cleaned it up.
hhmmm…. i think the only thing one of us could get mad at you for would be that you stood there taking pictures of it, but didn’t clean any of it up. heh.
the pictures did turn out nice though.

Life will never be the same again now I have been exposed to questions of such boundless ambiguity.

At least those squirrels will have a low risk of heart disease!
