Subject: How random can it get?

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 12/26/06 at 12:42 pm

Ok....so, Christmas Eve night Chris and I went to bed, but I couldn't sleep...so I watched TV for awhile.  I realized that I had left our Christmas lights on outside (and it was like 2 am). So...I came downstairs and looked out the window first (a habit of mine)....and saw something sitting on the front porch, right at the top of the steps. It looked like a package or something.  So, I opened the door and stepped out on the porch, and realized that it was a myriad of canned vegetables. Someone put canned veggies on our front porch...and I have NO idea who, and NO idea why. It was extremely random....and needless to say, I won't be eating them....I am too paranoid to do something like that. ???

well, then they should have left a note with it, stating who it was from. I don't trust eating something that was dropped off on my porch by a random person.  And, I have a slight idea who it might have been, and if I am correct in my judgement....it isn't a positive thing. :-\\

That is truly bizarre.
Question - are any of the cans damaged or opened? Not saying you should trust them, but if they are in fine condition, then I would in turn take them to a homeless shelter. However, if they are damaged and don't look right... I would either report it to the authorities or chuck them in the trash~ ;)

they seem like they are in good condition. It's just so strange. I mean....canned vegetables.  At first I thought that maybe Chris' mom dropped them off (it wouldn't surprise me for her to do something like that)...but we called her and she said that she didn't. I just don't get it.

Stranger things have happened! Maybe there is a neighbor just watching out for you, or someone else received them and felt the same way so passed them on to you! At any rate, there are Guardian Angels all around this time of year... pass them on like a Hot Potato!

;D

my MIL already said that she would take them, she'll put them to good use. The only thing I am hoping is that it wasn't my ex that put them there. I haven't seen or heard from him in years...but that's something that he would totally do....and if that's the case, then he now knows where I live. :-\\

Well we just got back from my parents house and some of our front fence is missing! Not kicked down, or broken off but neatly unscrewed and taken away!?!

A friend of mine dug a hole to put a new tree in. Quite a large tree, about 12 feet tall.

He went inside to get some gloves. He was inside 2 minutes, he swears. He came back outside, the tree was gone. No sign of it, just gone.  ;D ;D

I'm totally suspicious of stuff like that, especially with no note. that's weirdly random  :o but maybe it was someone just being nice. check the dates on the cans too, make sure they're not expired  ;D

Yeah. I mean.. if there were branches and stuff going down the road you could think maybe somebody just dragged it away, or a few people carried it away.. but no, nothing. It would never fit in any normal car.. and not most pickup trucks. You'd need a van really. Probably pikeys.

I just rang our agency to report the fence. I explained it was gone, not kicked down or broken but neatly unscrewed and the lad on the phone is like 'so basically you're someone has nicked it?'  ;D
