Life in a condominium complex that has many
residents with one foot in the grave or teetering on the edge can be quite
boring at times. Occasionally, when the paramedics arrive with lights flashing
on their ambulance, the ordinary turns to curiosity as people speculate on the
purpose of the call. The other day, the break in the usual routine became
somewhat more entertaining. An owner informed me that as they were getting
ready to retire for the night, perhaps around 11PM, they looked their window
and saw a young couple doing what young couples do. Let’s just call it hanky
panky.
As they started their story my first
question was the obvious “what did you do?” To my complete surprise, they said
they called the police. When the police arrived and caught the young couple in
their vehicle headlights, the couple then had some excitement of the unwanted
kind as they grabbed their belongings and successfully escaped. When the condo
resident asked me what I would have done I said I would have taken some photos
or tapped on the window to say hi. While the resident appeared a little
disturbed at what had happened, by the time we got through our discussion of ‘what
ifs’ their angst had disappeared after several minutes of laughing over what
was now deemed a very funny incident.
Now back to the boring routine of waiting
for the next ambulance.
