6:52 p.m. Lime Street caller reported that while driving through the area she encountered a male party on the ground. She asked him twice if he needed assistance and he stated that he did not. She had no description just that “he sounded older.” It was reported that he was an older male with dark clothing and a hat. Five minutes later it was reported that a female had fallen. An off duty firefighter assessed the situation, stating unknown injuries. Police responded and one was transported to Salem.
Mine's definitely the wine bottle mystery

9:42 a.m. Resident called asking about how to safely dispose of full bottles of wine. She was advised to pour out the contents of the bottle, then throw the empty bottle away. Caller called back a few minutes later and stated she didn’t know how to open the cork tops. An officer was sent to assist.

    Did the caller ever consider giving the bottle of wine away to someone that may appreciate it?

    Think about it. Fucking tax dollars went to pay a law enforcement officer to go to a resident's house, open a bottle of wine, and pour it out. Why are we helping these people? Can't we just let them die out on their own? It'll probably take AT MOST a half hour.

    Not to get political but way more people should be on board with Darwinism and let nature take its course.

    I was pulling out of the parking lot at work today, waiting to take a left, when some lady was taking a left into the parking lot. I had 3 cars behind me, and she had 2 or 3 cars behind her. She fucking stopped, in traffic, next to me, leaving the cars behind her stranded in the road waiting to be hit while simultaneously blocking me from taking my left.

    She ended up stopping next to me to ask me how to get to a highway that was over 15 minutes away. Lady, we're in fucking traffic. I don't have time to give you turn by turn directions right now.

    Plus, how in the name of fuck was she THIS LOST. I'm so confused. I told her I didn't know.

    I would say that everyday driving is the reason I keep coming back to the whole "how do these people get through their day to day life" question derives.

    Driving an everyday car in everyday conditions doesn't take much effort. So, if you can't do that, I start asking myself questions like "I wonder if they dress themselves?"

    back in college I was working Customer Service at Kohl's and I forget what led up to it but at some point I actually asked a customer if they drove themselves or if somebody was coming back to pick them up.

    Yesterday I was at Best Buy and the lady in front of me really threw me for a loop, and I've worked public customer facing jobs for over 10 years now. The question on the credit card swipe pinpad thing came up and asked if the amount she wanted to put on her card was correct. This champion of logic got in an argument with the cashier because she thought that meant she was getting money PUT ON her card. As in, credited.

    Holy shit, that's a weird one.

    If I ever tried to buy something with my CC and they credited it, I don't even know if I would fess up.

    Just for reference the town that this log is from is upper middle class and very well educated, quiet little town off the ocean with a very small downtown, there's technically two downtowns but who's counting. Nothing of any serious consequence ever happens but they sure as hell aren't the most resourceful people .

    I should've been writing all my experiences in the 20+ years of working with the public. As soon as most happen I forget about them. There's some I remember though.

    11:30 a.m. Caller said he was coming to town at noon for his mother’s funeral and he wanted to make sure there were no warrants and that police didn’t want him for anything. He was told the only problem there would be was if he didn’t behave. He said he would because it was his mother’s funeral. He was slurring his words when he called, which was around 8:20 a.m.

    i've always wanted leap day to be changed from feb 29th. theres nothing special about that. every other month has a 29th day already, and who the hell wants an extra day of winter anyway? i would make leap day july 32nd and actually make it something unique.

    If I walked into a BAR here and saw a children's party happening, I would walk right back out and never come back. I don't care what time of day it is.


    Brewery, which is also mentioned in the article, is a bit different. Those are pretty family friendly here so I expect to see kids during the day.

    i hate that, especially the morning train ride, which tends to be quieter as people are still in early-morning mode.

    hopefully she didn't have it on speaker phone

    My goddamn trash 'pick up' company. They haven't picked up this week's load of trash... just sitting out there at the end of the driveway for the last couple of days (thankfully I don't have any neighbors with the balls enough to move it back to my doorstep like beefy). Wife calls this morning to find out what's going on. They have a recording "we are no longer picking up trash at each residence in your town. But rather, we've put a dumpster at this location. Bring your trash there." What the fuck???

    Right?

    She tells me this via text (leaving out the 'recording' part at first). I'm like "Wtf did you say when they told you that?" Oh, it was a recording...
    Are you fucking serious?!?!?!
