Woman calls police after nearly 100 raccoons surround her property
Quote:A woman didn’t think much about feeding the raccoons near her house until nearly 100 of them showed up in her yard.
Earlier this week, the unnamed woman called the police after she was unable to get inside her home in Poulsbo, Washington, because of a raccoon invasion. According to Kevin McCarty, a spokesperson for the Kitsap County Sheriff, the woman explained that the large number of raccoons in her yard started around six weeks ago, but she had been feeding them for over 35 years.
“Somehow the word got out in raccoon land and they all showed up to her house expecting a meal,” McCarty told local NBC affiliate KUSA. When deputy officers showed up to examine the scene, they were “shocked” to find 50 to 100 raccoons at the property.

Things have changed. When I worked as a mechanic and managed a gas station, I was free to tell people to take a hike if they were a problem as a customer. We had our share of Karens, as they are called now. They got nowhere with me. Retail sucks now, based on my son's experiences.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Nah, pepper spray. Just showing the spray can is often enough.

It has to do with the gross misinterpretation of the customer is always right, an evolution of corporate greed.

It appears that raccoons have their own social network. Can't say I'm surprised.

That's what comes of reinforcing bad behaviour.
Customer: 'I'm unhappy for a completely pointless and stupid reason.'
Business: 'Oh, we're so very sorry. We'll comp this purchase and here's a gift card you can use on your next visit.'

Capitalism does not solve poverty - capitalism creates poverty. And then criminalizes it.

If a human and a zombie have consensual sex, is it still necrophilia?

No. Necrophilia is sex with a dead person. Zombies are a class of undead.
