Crazy trespassing Asians

(July 27th, 2006 - 11:22PM)

There's a plum tree in my backyard. My roommate discovered a pack of Asians (A gaggle of Asians? A murder of Asians?) in the backyard picking plums from the tree. Turns out they are the former owners of the house - as of three years ago.

When my roommate caught them, they said, "Oh, we're so sorry! We're so sorry!" By the way, that's one of my pet peeves: when people say they're sorry and they obviously aren't. "We pre-meditated a plan to intentionally trespass on your property to steal fruit, but now that you've caught us, we're very very sorry!"

My roommate told them it was okay because we never eat the plums (good thing I wasn't the one who caught them, or they would have had it). As soon as my roommate told them it was okay, another four Asians mysteriously appeared out of the woodwork and helped the picking.

Look. I know Asians are cheap. But dudes, seriously. There's a mini-mall about a dozen blocks from my house. Rather than break the law to trespass and steal, would it kill you to spend four bucks and buy some plums?
