I just murdered a trash bag. It was a crime of passion. I plead temporary insanity.

It looked innocent enough.  Such a pretty translucent blue and perfect for the job it was going to be used for.  I wanted to place some shoes in it.  All my pretty summer sandals that I will never wear again have to go.  Nine toes do not bring beauty in an open toed shoe or sandal.  It wasn't even going to be put in the garbage.  It was destined for donating these shoes to the local sheltered workshop for sale in their thrift store.

This trash bag wouldn't cooperate.  It put up such a struggle.  It held on to the roll and I had to yank on it just to get it loose.  Then it threw a fit and stayed clamped shut.  I begged and I pleaded, nicely I might add, for a little understanding.  It ignored me.  It fought me with such arrogance.  It simply would not come apart to open.

In a moment of utter frustration, I grabbed my blue handled scissors and stabbed it to death.  I hope it's a lesson to the rest of trash bags on the roll.

Never mess with me and my shoes.

     I know all about those bags.Maybe it was trying to tell you something ? Only you notice your toes. I'd wear those shoes if I were you. I know how comfortable they are to wear. Why give up a good thing ?
       My wife pulled into the driveway a  little while ago  I was outside and smelled a burning smell coming from her car. I saw smoke and looked underneath. A plastic bag was wrapped around the exhaust pipe. I couldn't remove it all. Every time she drives the car it will smell funny until it burns off completely. I hate when I see those bags blowing across the highway.

    I have regular bouts with trash bags, usually because they won't open. I've been known to get violent. I try to keep the swearing to a minimum opening those plastic bags in produce at the grocery.

    CayenneMan,
    I am keeping a couple of pairs of sandals to wear around the house.  The rest are already bagged up.  I'm tired of hearing him complain about it.  I think I will splurge on a really nice pair of soft leather summer shoes though.  That'll teach him.  :-)

    I'll bet you thought the worst smelling burning from that pretty little pink car.  Yikes!

    Beyond,
    Those bags drive me nuts.  Remarkably, I didn't cuss this time.  The scissors were THAT handy.  :-)

    uniquely,
    Those blankety blank things drive me up the wall.  :-)  It made me feel so much better and the next one off the roll thought twice before struggling with me.

    Holly,
    You're welcome.  :-)  Those shoes are mine and I'll give them away if I want to.  No stinking trash bag is going to tell me I can't

    I can totally sympathize. There are times when inanimate objects need to be put in their place with a serious beating.
  • CreativeWoman said on Mar 18, 2009....
    hotaka,
    This is true.  I hope my pots and pans were paying attention when this trash bag murder occurred.  They've been put on notice.  :-)

    I imagine a fuzzy little nerd at the plastic bag factory who smears the same
    glue on plastic bags that they put on Post It Notes, except a little more
    sticky. He cannot make it impossible to pull them apart. It just has to be
    nearly impossible for him to keep his job and also extract his twisted
    pleasure in our struggles.

    Mercifully - it was just a garbage bag.
     
    Maybe it was trying to tell you something.  Ha Ha  Maybe 'blue" was not your colour of the day. 'Blue "translucent bag and " blue " handle scissors.
     
    Good humourous post. You sure have a way with words.

    Lioness,
    Thank you.  May it rest in peace.  :-)

    ALIEN,
    The little snivler should be fired.  He's probably the same guy who invented those child safety caps on prescription bottles.  I've had to threaten mine with a hammer a time or two. Sounds like his handy work.  :-)

    scipio,
    Thank you.  Blue does seem to have been a common denominator.  :-)

    fraggles,
    You've very cleverly pieced together the crime scene.  :-D
