I’m kind of impressed that you knew what to do when you saw the empty sockets. I’ve never dealt with a fuse box and if someone had left fuses in my apt, i probably wouldn’t have known what they were.

jess: Please just put a “Live Poisonous Animals” sticker on the box when you send it, won’t you?
jill: Boy, you and Shari sure are nice to your enemies. Sicilians aren’t really in the business of baking cookies for those who cross us, unless they’re made of cement. And attached to their feet. If you catch my drift. I’m talking about drowning someone. With cement shoes.
Peefer: Interesting logic – it’s just so crazy that it might apply with these people.
Sizz: Ooh! That’s right – baby Jesus is gonna get them!
Loudlush: I think what was going through their heads was, “Hey! My fuses blew. It’s 9:00pm and the Home Depot is 10 minutes away. Ooh, look! Free fuses over here!”
asia: Whoa now – I can’t take on this responsibility! First my nephews are inspiring you to have kids, now my neighbors are making you not want them. I think you need to have 100 babies who are morally superior to the dolts in my apartment. It’s your duty, in fact.

Thats it! I’m not having babies now. Can I really bring kids into a world with so much injustice? I am steaming mad.

That is just disgraceful! At least you had the ability to cobble a solution of sorts, this will not deter Karma of course, but can you imagine if someone less able was faced with having their fuses stolen? You’ve got to wonder what goes through people’s heads sometimes.

Maybe someone didn’t like the sound of your air-conditioner, so they used your fuses as ear plugs. (Yes, I know that’s kind of redundant, but THEY’RE the stupid ones, not me.)

I was going to say just print up a flyer that says something like, “To Whom It May Concern, I hope you enjoyed the use of my fuses and the cool air that they afforded you. My cat, on the other hand, is dead from heatstroke. Thank you, you selfish bastard cat-killer.” But I think Shari’s idea is sweeter and probably more effective, but only if you can screen print with sugar a picture of a fuse on each one.

Viv: Ah, your plan only works on people with a soul, and these were soulless bastards.
Ariana: The fuses are in the same part of the basement as the laundry, so I’m used to going there. But yes, it is rife with discarded furniture and perhaps rats… eep!
Fio: Dammit! I should’ve gotten my charcoal dust and Scotch tape out before I let the handyman come fix my fuse… next time!
shari: Hmm. Baking cookies for the enemy? Can I put a scorpion inside each one?
Sarah: Bwah! Assenheimer – love it!
RW: I do have an Uncle Tony… not sure if he has a “The” in his name. Time for some kneecapping!
sandra: I couldn’t have said it better myself.
jaymarie: No, you can take the fuses out with no problem – just like unscrewing a light bulb. And I’d rather wait until the next time and then check them for scorpion stings and tarantula bites…

i am astounded. i can’t believe it. i mean really, wouldn’t it damage the fuse or the person to remove the fuse while the electricity was still on? hey, maybe it did! maybe you should be checking out your neighbours fingertips for burn marks.
(and i am so glad that you were able to keep your air on…it has been terribly hot this week. stay cool, sweetcheeks;)
