... Meanwhile, the garbage wars are starting to heat up again in Montreal. Every few months someone on my street is sufficiently offended by someone else's ignorance of (or plain frustration with) Montreal's Byzantine waste collection policies and posts a variation on this handwritten note that typifies the paranoid, clumsy, mildly batshit side of public life in this city.

Please
To the person who is again putting out garbage outside the collection times. Be advised that a complaint has been made against you with the City of Montreal and that you are under surveillance. The fine is $175.
Please respect your neighbours.

A while ago I was dating a girl who lived in a house where the soundproofing between the flats wasn't very good, and we could often hear the couple in the neighbouring flat having loud sex. So we decided to have "revenge" on them by having really loud sex too, so they'd notice how thin the walls were. I guess they took the hint, because we didn't hear much sex noises after that.
Maybe this was passive aggressive fucking?

Personal Announcement - Posted on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 by ____ _______Someone took my jacket and I was cold.Hello, I think someone took my jacket, which makes me sad, especially because I was very cold walking home. I left it on the wooden thing in the hallway outside of the bathrooms on the bottom floor of the library building, the space between the school store and the gallery. It is longish and navy blue with thin white stripes and zippers. When I exited the bathroom it was no longer there, and I live off campus in Northampton so the walk home was cold. If you've seen it or taken it, I would reeally appreciate it back. Thanks dudes -- email ______@___ or call ###-###-####

That happened to me the other week, at a party. I was in love with the damn thing and had only had it for around 2 months. Someone actually took everything out of the pockets and left it on the ground, too.

Actually now I think about it the chemists I worked in the prick made me do all the vacuuming. But no even in stores I've worked in there were cleaners at night, rather than the staff doing it. Obv it depends on the size of the biz.
