Open letter
Dear stupid rich people in my neighborhood,
I accept the fact that you must maintain meticulously manicured and bright green lawns, as if this will somehow impress people with how rich and bored you are (a practice, let me say, that I have never understood). I accept the fact that you will use gallons of water in support of this goal.
Do remember, though, that you water vegetation in the morning when the water is less likely to be sucked away by evaporation. Ideally, this means you'll have your sprinklers on at dawn. I will even accept having them on at 11 this morning, when I left for work.
However. 5:00 in the afternoon of a bright, hot summer day? Such that I have to see several houses blithely wasting water as I come home from work?
Okay, I get it. You're rich. You don't care about saving water. Just stop wasting the resources that the rest of us need to use, okay?
No love,
me
P.S. I may be PMSing, but that doesn't make you any less of a fuckwit.
