Last night as I was taking the trash out, I noticed some plastic sticking up from the planter in front of my garage.
I thought it might have been some leftover materials from my new roof, but it wasn’t. It was a sealed bag with rocks and a business card in it.
It’s from a tree service guy! He was advertising? Ha! I don’t know if I should be impressed at his ingenuity, or offended that he left “trash” in my planter.
That planter has terribly overgrown palm trees in it. They need a trim right now, but I would be really happy if I could pay that guy to tear them all out. They’re awful. They’re ripping the planter apart, and they always look raggedy.
Some day I’ll get around to taking care of them. For now, I need to be saving my money towards plumbing and electrical work.
Huh. Clever and slightly offensive. Now I’m wondering what other kinds of professions could advertise that way – a bag of teeth for a dentist, nails and screws for construction/repair, a bag of oil from a mechanic…….
