Splat. Ker-Sploooooosh
That made us jump. We had just set off for work and turned in time to see a woman in the adjoining building emptying a bucket off the second floor balcony.
We narrowly avoided being dumped on from a great height in some medieval style waste disposal routine.
To be fair the bucket was actually a watering can and the contents were probably the condensate from the air-conditioning unit on her front balcony, so we might have merely been washed in distilled water.
All the same, a warning might have been nice; a couple of gallons from a great height covers quite an area by the time it reaches ground level and spreads out.
Definitely rude. Yes a warning would be nice. But disposal down a drain inside the house would be even nicer Unless she was trying to water a plant
ReplyDeletePerhaps she thought you needed cooling off in the heat?

ReplyDelete"Guardez looe!"... or whatever the equivalent be in Greek! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Definitely medieval! Look out. She could be planning worse.
ReplyDelete‘Chucking out time’ in a different way. Flashing lights or sounding the bell is for ‘last drinks’ wonder what warning sound she could have used. Oi watch out below !
ReplyDeleteNow that's a great idea. Chucking out time!
Deleteor the 2nd choice might be wait until there was no one close enough to be splashed. glad it was not the slop bucket as it would have been in medieval times... also glad you did not get wet
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on blogs after a long while away. You know Tigger I was in a vet's today (in France) and I thought of you. A lady brought her cat - beautiful of course - into the surgery in a wicker carry basket. And the cat just sat there and purred at Oscar - who politely licked her basket back - all very gentile as they say over here.
