Episode #124: People Make Me Angry

This actually happened over the 4th of July weekend, but I'm just getting around to posting it.

After my husband and I came home from church, the power was out in our house. There was a squirrel that had stepped on the wrong powerline and was zapped, causing our power to go out.

When the City Utilities representative came out to see what happened, he and my husband discovered that the windshield on my husband's car was shattered.

In the second picture you can see a cardboard tube between the windshield wipers. Therein lies the remains of a firework. The concussion of the blast caused the windshield to shatter.

It is illegal in my city to shoot fireworks, but many people in my neighborhood were. The police rarely respond to complaints concerning fireworks on the holiday weekend.

So to sum it up, someone else's buffoonery cost me almost $200. Not as much as it could have cost, but any amount of money is too much when you have to pay it out of your pocket.
