I remembered something that happened a few years ago. It's pretty random but I wanted to share it with ya'll.
My friend Sophie, was over at the condo neighborhood I used to live in. We were happily drawing on the ground with some chalk we found, knowing it'll be washed away in a few hours by the rain.
Then this random lady across the street stared at us and shouted; "You live here?"
"I do!" I shouted back. "But my friend doesn't."
At first I thought she wanted to make some nice, neighborly conversation but then she said; "You kids need to stop leaving shit like that around here!"
she went on and on about it but I can't remember. I THINK she also said something about us getting out of the neighborhood, or something??
I just remember that this grown lady decided to yell and cuss at a pair of kids. (ok, we weren't kid kids. she was in 8th grade and I was in 9th but we still looked pretty young)
Like, wth, though. Random memory is random.
BTW, Sophie and I felt really bad about it afterwards though and get a mini bucket and washed the chalk drawings away. The drawings weren't of even bad things; just random cartoon characters and flowers and animu and body outlines. :s
Now that I think back on it, there was no reason for us to have felt bad over it and for us to have gone out of our way to wash it away - especially since it rained less than an hour after we were done cleaning it away.

Some people are just real asshats.
Along one stretch of sidewalk are grates that, I assume, lead to the sewers. The other day someone had written in chalk next to a grate "There are people trapped down here."
