    Apparently my first manager when I started working at Dunkin thought I was too "mousey" and was trying to get rid of me. Good thing for the transfer to the other store bc Big Tara liked me haha.

    So, I was just sitting in a lawn chair on my front porch, eating some potato chips, and I looked over and a psyducking raccoon was right there. Right there! I know it might not sound like a big deal, but I'm a sheltered suburban girl who is basically afraid of all forms of wildlife, and, I repeat, I had an open bag of chips.
    We had a brief staredown, it started walking across the porch (seeming to pay me no mind), and then a car drove by and scared it off. It was complicated, though, because the bag of chips was on the ground beside me, leaning against the lawn chair - what do you do in that situation? Are you supposed to grab the bag and put it in your lap so the critter can't root through/steal it, or is it better to go for a take whatever you want, just don't hurt me type of arrangement? I just semi-froze and slowly, frightfully moved the bag, undoubtedly creating more rustling than was wise.

    (...On the plus side, perhaps the universe was sending me a good omen for Avengers Endgame? :laugh-squinted:)

    As far as North American wildlife to be wary of goes I've came into close proximity with a skunk before. Never actually saw it though. The smell however. It was dark at night and me and my friend were chilling at a pavilion and this strange smell (that at first smelt like weed - lightbulb moment of where the slang term 'skunk' comes from) got stronger and stronger and more disgusting. Thankfully we clicked and got out of there fast.

    Its weird here, we're a suburb and a city and yet I've heard of and seen coyote in recent years.

    I didn't know we had them, but apparently they wander around and can eat house pets that are outside, so now it's being advised for ppl to keep pets in doors unless supervised. Whereas it used to be common for small dogs and cats to wander a bit.

    Would that be because I went nearly two years without one? You can thank [user]Fairy[/user] for prodding me to add one. Now if she would only revisit her AMA after all these months... sigh...
