While perusing my 'fridge last nite looking for something to eat, I stared at the 7 cans of beer residing on the lower shelf inside the door. It's not that I've not noticed them before, but as I looked at them I was reminded of the person who left them there. Which led me to thinking about all the items various men have left in my house thru the years.
What is it about men who are invited to come into your personal space then leave you high and dry (like thieves in the nite), but manage to leave a personal item or two or three for you to have to deal with? Even now I'm still finding things from my late fiance and he's been gone for 4 years!
So I decided to go on a scavenger hunt to see what else I could locate from the last man. What I found astounded me:
- 1 VCR
- 1 small television
- 1 blender
- 3 food containers (1 of which was still filled with coffee)
- 1 pr. of scrubs
- 2 turtle necks
- 2 dress shirts
- 1 board game
- 1 cookie sheet used to grill chicken wings
- 1shredder (I guess he felt I needed to get rid of covert documents)
At this point I got tired and quit looking......
When I get up enough energy I'll resume my search and drag it all to the garage, hopefully in time for the next city wide yard sale.
In the meantime, I'll make sure that the next gentlemen not even leave a comment at my place. It's my space and I'm tired of all the dogs that come in and 'mark their territory'....
At least these men actually left items at your home. Mine only steal things from me! The biggest disappointment was his family but an apple does not fall far from the tree.
