Yesterday, after work, Dan and I went to the grocery store. When we pulled into the lot, there were about 6 fire trucks at the end. We were standing in the rain, wondering what was going on. I said to Dan, “Do you think it is safe to go grocery shopping?” He just stood there with boy-like wonder, and didn’t answer my question, but kept talking about what was possibly going on. They went into the new nail salon. Boy, the smell was awful!
Kroger smelled like rotisserie chicken though.
Later that night, we got a call from our alarm company. Seems our neighbors alarm was going off.
We looked out the window. There were people there. His garage was open. We didn’t call the company back. Dan didn’t go over there either. He didn’t want someone to shoot him, if there was trouble! He called the neighbor and didn’t get an answer.
The neighbor called back and said everything was ok. He opened his garage door, forgetting he set the alarm for the evening. Then he went to disable it and spilt coffee everywhere. Went to go clean up that mess, and the police came by to make sure everything was ok. Sounded like a comedy of errors.
When all was said and done, I told Dan that Tuesday night was emergency night. He said, “No kidding!”
As I was told over my life : 1. Trouble comes in threes. 2. It never rains but it pours. 3. Whatever could go wrong, did. 4. And my personal favorite - Crap comes in lumps!
Tuesdays will now be called Emergency Night in my house…
Buffalodickdy - It was pouring! I like #4.
Beth - HAHAHAHA! I hope your family enjoys that.
Trouble does indeed come in three’s.
I haven’t seen my Uncle Murphy in quite some time. Maybe he’s with you.
Wow, that would have been scary to watch. Glad nothing happened to your neighbor. I always get scared whenever I hear an alarm go off because you never know what is going on. But usually it is a false alarm.
Nobody - He sounds like a troublemaker!
VP - We usually have false alarms here.
