So inconsiderate Thursday November 17

Gomibako janai!

Some jackal threw trash in my bicycle basket yesterday while it was parked at the Center. The Center has a private parking place for it and the few offices around it, so it's a relatively small environment. Simply stated, not just anyone did this, but one of about sixty people did it.

I refuse to be outdone. This aggression cannot stand. The trash is not the issue -- the issue, here, man, is unchecked aggression. If I just let them throw trash in my basket without doing anything, they're going to do it again. I am drawing a line in the sand, and saying, "across this line, you do not cross."

As such, showing my snarky side, I made a sign last night and taped it to my bike this morning when I came to school. It says, in so many words:

"To the person who threw trash in this bicycle's basket yesterday: this bicycle, while it seems like a trash can, is in actuality a bicycle. There is a trash can at the Daily Yamazaki; please use that. I appreciate your cooperation. -The Bicycle God"

Am I wrong? I mean, am I wrong? Huah. Ok, then.
