(is this the same dog that doesnt get walked?)

Ummm..yes. I suppose the dog might be trying to "drop" a hint to his owner by stealing the running shoes. ;) He's desperate for a walk.

Notice to Disneyland Executives:

For past annivesaries, you used to give guests cars...

Notice to: my feet

Please do not fail me now.

Notice to stockers of restroom paper towels - If your paper towels are so thin that they cannot be grasped and deployed with a wet hand, I will likely have to use more of them to dry my hands probably eliminating and probably surpassingthe savings you made by buying thinner towels to begin with.

Notice to our kind and faithful leader:

€, you are about to hit 1,000 posts.

Notice to: my thermos

Please keep my hot liquids hot and my cold liquids cold. And if I drop you on the ground, please do not break and get shards of glass in my hot or cold liquid.

Notice to: my face

Stay pretty! Remember face, you are my numma two money-maker and I love you.

Notice to parents who take their kids to movies:

I know you love your precious little darlings. I know you think the wolrd of their happy chatter and commenting on every single thing. I just paid $18.50 for myslef, my friend and my son so that we could ENJOY the movie. The rest of the theater paid $ to enjoy the movie. No one enjoyed your children talking LOUDLY though the entire thing. You sat there and did nothing to stop them from talking. You even talked back to them. You also pissed off the entire theater when you talked into your NEXTEL! I know a lot of people were shushing you. Maybe you should refrain from attending movies until your freaking kids, and yourself GROW UP! Ok, I know it was a movie aimed at kids and some talking is to be expected, but you and your group were beyond rude. When I go to see Star Wars tomorrow I will probably have you kicked out of the theater if you pull this crap again.

Notice to the apartment complex across the street:

You are incorrect in your assertion that your residents and their guests are allowed to make as much noise as they want. Title 10 of the Snohomish County Code does in fact prohibit a variety of noises, including car stereos -- even if parked, day and night, that can be heard 75 feet or farther away from the noise source.

And yes, this includes your low-life residents with their bar-b-q and the EIGHT FOOT FLAMES that one would think you'd be concerned about, but hey, it's your property. But the car as sound system for impromptu block party? That I can hear clearly, bass AND melody, across a busy 5 lane road, all windows closed and drapes pulled even though it's probably 90 degrees? That happens every weekend night from May through November for oh, six hours at a pop? THAT is going to stop. I don't want to be annoying law student bashing regular joes with her rudimentary knowledge, but when you tell me flat out, after I've courteously asked you to reduce the noise, that you're the manager and you say your residents can make whatever noise they want, whenever they want, I will prove you wrong. And I will *enjoy* doing it, because I'm evil like that.

Think Satan, but with bigger boobs.

I feel every lawyer stereotype coursing through my veins AND I LIKE IT!!! You think you're the lord of your little fiefdom, but you are really pig swill and it's sloppin' time.



(Actually, I enjoy searching municipal codes. If any LoT readers are ever having an issue and want to know if "there's a law," I'd be happy to give it a scan. I can't make anything happen, but I can provide you with the relevent set of impressive statute numbers that can either scare others into compliance or jump start your battle.)
