A gent called the clinic today, and wanted to know when he could bring a cat in to be neutered. Not a problem, really... he can have the choice of friday this week, or any day next week. But when I ask him which day he prefers, he says he doesn't know, he doesn't get his work schedule for next week until tomorrow, so he'll have to call back then to make an appointment.

So, uhm. Why didn't he just call tomorrow?

#2:
I was cleaning up after other people at the recycle center today (again. still. some more.). One of the bags of assorted recyclables and trash that I sorted out was full of stuff from alternate health stuff (acupuncture, herbal stuff, that sort of thing), and global-warming-will-kill-us-all type letters.

So, if this person is so into saving the world, why can't they be bothered to bin their own trash, so that it actually gets to the recycle centers instead of just becoming more litter?

#3:
There are several easily accessed (and FREE!) drop bins for cardboard recycle around town. Yet people continually just dump cardboard at the one recycle drop that doesn't take it. Today, I picked up at least 5 boxes that I'm pretty sure came from the same person (because 3 of them were duck or goose decoy boxes, one was dog biscuits, and one came from Cabellas... suspicious combo!). All but one of these boxes had had the address label carefully removed.

So, if you're going to waste your time carefully cutting your address off most of your boxes (but not all?!?) why not spend the extra 30 seconds to drive them to a place that (gasp!) actually wants your cardboard?
