Trying out a slightly different format for the “How was your week in the US?” thread. I’m including a question in the title to spark conversation, but also feel free to comment about your week in general without answering the question.

At any rate, I saw a weird mutant dandelion that had a super wide stem and 4 heads, as seen in the picture. It’s probably an omen, like a goat with 2 heads or something.

    Didn’t really technically see this, but:

    (A little context is that I’m a maintenance man for the local housing authority.)

    We cleaned out an apartment after a resident left 2 sets of twin bunk beds, 3 queen-sized beds, LOADS of clothing and random trash, etc… all absolutely covered in bed bugs.

    Tossed it all in a big dump trailer, taped the area off with caution tape, and covered the trailer in a tarp.

    2am, our executive director gets a call from one of the neighbors asking why we’re “throwing all this good stuff away.”

    They had climbed inside the trailer and taken a couple of comforters into their own apartment.

    Why?

    Why would you do that?

    Why climb into a dumpster full of obviously soiled objects? Why call the director at 2 in the morning?

    Everyone in this complex saw us all wearing hazmat suits when packing the stuff out.

    So now we’re treating two apartments for bed bugs.

        Given enough time, the bugs would win - they are tenacious little creatures, and I can’t help but admire them.
