This indignant note nearly made Mike [sic] with laughter when he saw it posted in the lobby of his apartment building in Surrey, B.C.
(Oh, those Canadians — so hilarious! Even when they’re not trying to be!)

What do you think the pig was discussing? The trash bags?

This happened in Canada… I’m surprised the note writer didn’t just start a riot.

Notewriter just got angrier and angrier the more they typed… I would have LOVED to watch them angrily sending it the printer and then stomping out the door, scotch tape in hand. Priceless.

Haha, was I the only one who thought that the person in question just sounded like a janitor collecting garbage? They (janitors) “should be ashamed of themselves” y’know… for cleaning up after “PIGS.”

I live about an hour away from surrey. It really is an awful area. Virtually every day “The Province” newspaper is reporting something about someone getting shot there. Oh, and as everyone that lives around here knows, every female in surrey is automatically assumed to have an std.

“we don’t want flies, cocroaches or any bugs associated with improper hygiene”
I agree – let’s have a bit of mutual respect for all bugs – they use deodorant too!

Sounds like the writer is starting some sort of neighborhood watch program. It seems awfully nice of the writer to ‘watch out for’ the offending pig. Anyone else might have been ‘on the lookout’ to catch the pig in action.

This happened where I work once. Someone tried to dump their garbage in the company dumpster. The diligent janitor opened the bags, found their name on a piece of discarded mail and busted their chops. Just saying – maybe the note writer could do this outside in case any cocroches jumped out.

Could the abandoned trash be an unintended result of running into the discussing pig? Were I innocently taking my trash out and suddenly a pig attempted to strike up a conversation, I might be inclined to drop whatever I was holding and immediately return to my abode {{slam}}

A responsible member of society would not frivolously waste scarce exclamation points in this manner. I hope this person feels guilty when their grandchildren have to grow up in a world without exclamation points because they were all used up in notes like this one.

A cocroche sounds like an exotic hat women wore in the 1920s. Why doesn’t this person want one?

well at least the pig is willing to discuss it, that’s a step in the right direction.

Simmer down everyone… that was just my dad discussing pigs. The only jokes he likes to tell all involve pigs. No I don’t know why. Some things are just better to accept and not think any further about.

What the fuck is with you adding a stupid Canadian joke to your posts? It’s annoying and definitely not funny. Jesus. Stupid Americans.

Aside from the spelling, you have no idea how much funnier this is, that the letter is from Surrey BC. It’s our crackville.
The most undesirable people live there, and yes a large part of that city is very dirty. More drug related crimes and stolen cars per capita happen in Surrey. (Whalley specifically)
Just Saying
Burnaby BC.
