I turned part of my garden into a veggie garden last year. When the plants were done, I let them die in my garden (good for the ground).
The last few days, the weather was spring like so, today, I decided to start and make the garden ready for this year.
The veggie part will become bigger, with more kinds of veggies, and I wanted to plant my Christmas tree on the edge, near the fence of the neighbours.
I got there and found a lot of cigarette buds. I do smoke, but not cigarettes with filter and definitely not of the brand Camel (I will quit smoking soon btw).
The only people who could have done that are 2 neighbours in the next house. They put up a fence last year, but didn’t finish it and used some metal plates for the last few feet.
Since they got a kid a few years ago, they don’t smoke in the house anymore but they still smoke.
So I gathered 2 hands full of buds and threw them back into their garden.
Then I realised, I could do better. I went in, got an old ashtray and wrote the following note with it:
“I noticed that you probably don’t have an ashtray, seeing all the cigarette buds in my garden.
So here you are. =)
Please us this, instead of my garden.”
I taped the note to the ashtray and put it on their side of the fence.
Hopefully I made my point clear.
