This is a strange phenomenon that has been happening over the last few weeks. It seems like every time the garbage cans for our building go out for pick-up, somehow we end up with exactly one less garbage can lid.
It's been four weeks now and all four cans are lidless.
The situation is made worse by the fact that my new downstairs neighbors are slobs. They throw their garbage out there in the lidless cans and leave it there for sometimes 2 weeks because they're too lazy to put it out on garbage day.
Now our yard is literally infested with squirrels who have decided that our garbage can shack is an altar of worship and that we are two legged deities who reward their praise with an endless supply of food scraps.
It's disgusting. They run around the yard with pieces of bread, nuts, old paper towels, or whatever else they found of interest in the lidless cans. One of them had a chicken bone! :eek: I hope they don't develop a taste for flesh, because I think that ten or fifteen of them, given the element of surprise, could easily take down a grown human.
You should see my back yard. We had some snow this week and the entire yard is nothing but prints. There are a few larger prints too, so I'm now wondering if we dont have something bigger getting into the cans at night.
Ugh.
