Bad luck for doing this with a ladder instead of walking under it?

Day…whatever:

Okay, obviously I haven’t kept up on the blog as well as I would have like. It’s not that I don’t want to. I think it’s because I’m just tired at night or I have other things I would rather be doing. However, I’d like to make up for it today by writing about a few experiences that have happened the past few days.

Yesterday I talked with a guy who was on his ladder trimming his trees. We spoke briefly and I left a pamphlet on his camper. I go to the next door that does not have a view of anything besides the trees crowding the front porch. While I’m waiting for someone to answer, I hear this loud crumbing/crashing sound coming from the direction of the neighbor on a ladder. I wait a few seconds. Hear nothing, obviously couldn’t see anything because of the trees. No one answers the door I’m at standing in front of, so I go out towards the driveway. There’s no sign of the man on the ladder (there’s a little fence dividing the houses). After a bit of me standing there, I see him stand up and try to pull his ladder up. Confirmed: this guy fell off of his ladder! As he didn’t seem in anyway hurt, it was more comical than worrisome. Yikes! If I was him, I would be thinking, “wow, I just fell off of a ladder”. When I walked past a few hours later, I saw the evidence of the ladder incident, as the ladder was sitting in his driveway with its legs bent. I guess he’ll need a stronger ladder next time, or not reach so far.

Our pest control pamphlet is brochure style with a tri-fold of information. The back side has pictures of different kinds of bugs and rodents that we can treat for. Well, a lady was looking through the front, the inside, and when she turned the pamphlet over to the back, she freaked out! She let out a shriek, dropped the pamphlet, and covered her mouth as her eyes grew bigger and bigger!!! After the realization that she wasn’t seriously scared, but reacted to seeing the mouse picture on the back, laughter erupted for about… 5 minutes. Wow! Hilarious!!!! She totally laughed it off and since her two adult daughters were also there, you can bet there was endless teasing about that one!

Also, I met the guy who makes these as a side hobby. Pretty cool, right?

Stay tuned for more stories from the streets!
