Not precisely CCTV, but national television in a small country. I recently moved to a new gaff, renting the upper floor of my landlord’s house.
Let’s just say it’s the sort of place where everyone knows everybody and it’s relatively easy to become the talk of the town.
Hanging out with my punk rock friends and bandmates after work hours.
National television interviewed a nun while we were walking by. Most of them did the 🤟 sign while hurling slurs against Christianity and whatnot. I tried to cover my face as best as I could like “yeah, sorry about that, they are drunk and shitfaced as hell”.
Came back to my gaff and my landlord was laughing so hard.
“You didn’t notice the second camera filming from the other side?”
Right, let me just dig a hole in the garden to crawl into and die in, will ye?
Home invasion. Reason: cat retrieval.
…so you’re just gonna leave us hanging‽
There isn’t much to tell, really: my cat was lost, spent days outside home, and when we finally found her she was in the gated frontyard of someone else, who was on vacations. Just calling her wasn’t enough because she wasn’t coming with me (I think that she was a bit too scared to even understand what was happening around her), so I had to jump over the wall to retrieve her. (In the meantime the house owner’s neighbour was calling the house owner to tell what’s up, given that there were cams everywhere.)
