surrounded by idiots, part v

to set the stage:

our parking space is right by the door, and so there is a fire hose close to the entrance. fire hoses are contained in metal rectangular boxes hung on the wall, with a glass door and locked to prevent tampering.

we went grocery shopping last night. we were only gone for about half an hour since
we didn't have a lot to buy, just enough for lunches for the rest of the week. when we came home, someone had smashed the glass part of the fire hose box. it was pretty thick so it must have taken some force to break it and bend the frame of the door.

luckily none of the glass shards injured little midgie, and we alerted the concierge who swept most of it away to avoid puncturing a tire. i'm surprised he didn't make us fill out a form, since they seem to like making us fill out forms for everything we do. but i digress.

i can't even imagine why someone would do that...perhaps it was an accident or maybe the incredible hulk lives in our building and something happened that really annoyed him and he snapped...although if i were the hulk, i would have taken out the hose and started swinging it around so as to do damage to more things, because why stop at just breaking the glass? oh well, it's probably better that the incredible hulk didn't take my idea into consideration...

is it wrong that your "surrounded by idiots" series has lead me to be inspired to start an "i am an idiot" series? good thing i'm a procrastinator though ... or else i might never be able to show my face in public again ...
