surprise surprise

When you live in HK and have a balcony that is not situated on the top floor you're bound to get little surprises dropped/thrown down onto your little otherwise cosy outdoor area. I really do wish it was little pleasant surprises, but it's not.

Cigarette buds are the most common little surprises I find out there, but ever so often I also get to pick up cotton buds, lemon slices and coat hangers. To my list I can also add a condom wrapper and a bag full of garbage. So as you see, it's all very nice little treats that I get.

Last night as I was standing in my bathroom removing my make-up as I heard a "thump", and realised that that sound was probably the landing of a new little surprise for me. And right I was. It was a white plastic bag filled with someones 'sickness'! (If the bags rightful owner meant for it to stay intact as it hit the floor outside my balcony door he/she failed, but if the intention was to make a mess - well then let's call it a success...). Absolutely charming and I hereby declare it as the winner of unwanted surprises...

My first reaction was: whoever created the mess will also have to clean it up. But surprise surprise, no one opened the door when I,somewhat annoyed, pressed the doorbell of the flat that I assumed the bag came from.

Plan B: return the bag to it's rightful owner.
So as far as I know a broken but disgusting bag is now to be found on the door handle of the flat that I still assume it came from.

Who cleaned up the mess? Well surprise surprise again, I did...
