Two of my pet peeves are people who litter and people who steal. People who litter are lazy and disrespectful. People who steal are lazy and disrespectful.
My husband was on a weeklong business trip to Florida. Rather than spend a lot of money on bottled water or vending machine snacks, he packed a cooler filled with bottles of water and several cans of Mountain Dew. The cooler also contained a casserole dish (one of my good ones with a lid) filled with snacks.
Someone stole the cooler from the back of his pickup truck.
We had just purchased this nice new cooler for a recent camping trip and now some idiot is using it — and drinking my hubby’s Mountain Dew!!!
It’s a simple concept: If it’s not yours, don’t take it. Most people learn this at an early age, but for a few, it apparently doesn’t stick.
I’m quite unhappy about this incident and hope the thief feels really guilty every time he looks at the cooler. The only thing that could make this situation worse is thinking this same thief might toss the empty Mountain Dew cans out the window.
