The world is run by Mickey Mouse and today he came to my house.  |
|
I'm not kidding. My day was like a bad cartoon! It started with the soon to be ex breaking the "No Entry Before 9am" rule. But I was already up and dressed and he knocked on the door so politely, that I had it open before I realized it was him. His coffee maker was broken (how?) and he was desperate for coffee. So I let him in. I had things to discuss with him anyway, and hell, the sun was shining, he was in a pleasant mood and so was I. So we shared a few cups of coffee on the porch planning the work to be done on the front lawn (he may be the soon to be ex, but you can bet I'm going to work him for all he's worth to get the outside of the house perfect before the for sale sign goes up!). And then Mickey Mouse showed up. A blue sedan with huge white polka dots came cruising down the road slowly. I couldn't believe my eyes. We both watched it approach the house, and as people are wont to do on our street for some reason, it stopped right in the middle of the road. There was a sign on the side of the car that said "Spot Removal Inc." Don't ask, because I didn't, so I have no idea what that meant! Out of this clown car emerged a rolly polly little man in suspenders, a straw hat, a white shirt, black slacks, and yes you guessed it a polka dot bow tie! He had some papers in his hand and came waddling up the walk to the porch. The soon to be ex looked at him enquiringly, and the little man said "Are you Mr. .......?" "Yes", says the soon to be ex. The little man handed him the papers and said: "You've been served" and proceeded to waddle back to his car. So of course the sun chose that moment to hide behind a cloud! Coward! The soon to be ex sank back in his chair and proceeded to read the papers. At first his face was pink, then red, then downright purple. I was trapped, with him between me and the front door, and couldn't make a quick, quiet exit. Finally he looks up, stands up, takes a step towards me, and falls off the edge of our narrow porch. (there's no railing yet). Now my peonies are all crushed and I'm heartbroken! He flailed around a bit and I beat it the hell into the house and locked the door. I KNOW that purple face colour and what it means and I wasn't taking any chances. He banged on the door really hard and the light cover above his head fell down on him and that's when the cursing began. Tightening that cover was on his 'to do' list four months ago, so I had no sympathy for him. I went and got my cordless phone and my lighter and stood in front of the door (it's got 15 glass panels in it) put the phone to my ear, and began clicking the lighter. He stared at me, opened his mouth, thought better of it, and went back to his RV. He only tripped once on the way and avoided the lilac bushes this time! lol I kept watch through the windows off and on all day and three times I saw him emerge from the RV and start across the road, and three times turn around and go back. An hour or so ago, he left for work and I am now on my way to bed and will sleep well because he will be gone until well after I get up tomorrow. Stay tuned. The fun is about to begin. LOL Have you ever met a real life Mickey Mouse?

sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | I thought I was seeing things Goodie. But when I was the blue backing on the papers, I knew he was a process server and the soon to be ex was about to get a real education in a 'proper' divorce! LOL And he did! And he turned purple, and tonight I'm sure I'll hear all about what he thinks, now that he's had a day to give it all some thought! LOL Then on the weekend I'm going to have him transplant some peonies from across the road to replace the ones he crushed! ROFL

Goodie123 (7207) | 5 months ago | Oh Sparky, we never have a video camera on hand when we need one. Just think you have put it on you tube and posted the lonk so we could have seen the soon to be ex's face.

|
|
sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | Geez Goodie what a great idea! I gotta get me one of those fancy cell phone that takes movies and can get them posted to the net with a push of a buttom. Thanks for the thought!
| |
|
|
Goodie123 (7207) | 5 months ago | Well geez Sparky, why didnt you buy it earlier, so we could have seen the look on "The Worms Face". LOL
| |
|
|
sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | Because the Worm took my bank accounts away. He wouldn't even let me have a web cam! HA! I've got him over a barrel now, because my paypal account is quite healthy with what I've managed to earn on line (not just mylot) and he can't touch THAT account! So I've ordered a webcam and will soon be ordering a fancy dancy new do it all telephone! Sparks is sly, sly, sly! ROFL

2. p1kef1sh (3101) | 5 months ago | The show has just begun. Sit back and fasten your belts, you are in for the ride of your life! No, I've never met Mickey Mouse - you can have breakfast with him at DisneyLand apparently for a price. Apart from the guy at my tyre garage who always tries to sell me a complete new car in parts every time I ask for a new tyre. There are others I am sure, just can't think of them right now.

sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | Think government. Think big business. Think advertising. Think about all the 'brain dead to reality' people who are in charge of this world. None of them have a brain larger than that of a mouse. I'm convinced of it! LOL

3. subha12 (12607) | 5 months ago | i did not get what actually was written on that paper. and why soon to be ex was purple? may be its due to my ignorance. whatever may be, what happened seems to be something like a picture.it do not happen vry often.
| |
| |
|
|
sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | A person's face turns purple subha when so much blood rises to the surface they look purple. It usually happens to people who are really angry, upset or exerting a lot of energy. My soon to be ex's face turns purple when he gets very angry. He had just been served with divorce papers. He was NOT happy!

5. cynicalandoutspoken (1960) | 5 months ago | That is really an ingenious way to get people to avoid process servers. I have to tell that one to all my friends. ROFL And you have such a way with words. I saw every moment vividly in my mind, right from the "please dear, I must have my morning coffee", to the flattened peonies in the garden. I never met a real life Mickey Mouse but I did have a Mickey Mouse moment. Actually, it was more something out of a 3 Stooges skit. I was pregnant with my first child, very pregnant. Like 6 weeks away from popping. And me and her dad were going over to one of his friends houses. When he friend came to pick us up he has his girl friend with him so I was relegated to squeezing my pregnant self into the back seat of his 2 door cavalier. I managed. Barely. When we got to his house he pulls up in his driveway which is on an incline and there are 2 crab apple trees that have branches that reach about a foot away from his car on the passenger side. Mind you there is snow and ice all over the place because it is March. I step one foot out of the car and it slides at an odd angle almost under the car. My then sweetie is too busy talking to his friend to realize I'm struggling with the seat that won't stay forward and the door that won't stay the whole way opened so I yell at him and he opens the door and holds it for me while I get out. The minute both of my feet hit pavement I realize I am standing on a patch of ice. I throw my body forward to avoid falling on my rear. In that instant my sweetie let go of the car door and it came flying backwards right into my forehead. Dazed from the impact I stagger to the left just enough to get tangled in the crab apple tree branch lose my footing all together and fall down into the snow. Now picture it. A pregnant me sitting on her butt in the snow with her hair held 3 feet above her head tangled in a tree branch with a big red mark on her forehead ready to kill someone the minute I am able to stand. Both my sweetie and his friend try unsuccessfully to stifle their laughter and help me up out of the snow. Then as soon as we get inside my sweetie elbows me in the forehead as he has turning around to hang his coat up. I spent the rest of the day there sitting in an arm chair for fear I would have ended up hospitalized with a concussion!

sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | Yep - a real mickey mouse moment for you Cyn! ROFL Too funny! We Canadians are very inventive. Everyone in this province seems to have a second job, and I think the car belonged to the 'other' business. But how fitting for the occassion! ROFL

AnnieOakley1 (682) | 5 months ago | Thanks for sharing that cyn. Just hilarious! I know you didn't find it funny at the time, but now you do in hindsight. I'm still laughing. Don't know which story is funnier? Sparks, no, cyn, no sparks, oh they are both hilarious! But sparks is better right now because she needs it to be funny. It was just so perfect that he fell off the porch. Yeah, you make sure he makes restitution for those damaged peonies.

sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | He certainly wasn't Natrak. I doubt the soon to be ex will EVER see the humor of it all! LOL
| |
|
|
AnnieOakley1 (682) | 5 months ago | Does he even have a sense of humour? When I met him he sure seemed like a 'stick in the mud'. Very, very conventional and straight laced.
| |
|
|
sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | Annie, I think he thinks he does. He used to be able to make me laugh, but in hindsight it was because I had made him laugh first and he had a 'comeback' remark. He keeps himself under such tight control, because he knows he has a bad temper, but I think really it's more that he is very mentally judgmental of others but really does have good public manners, so is always biting his tongue so to speak. It makes him appear tightly wound and almost standoffish. Because when he tries to be 'relaxed' and entertaining around other people, he actually embarrasses me. He can be very crude. Go figure!

7. cortjo73 (2205) | 5 months ago | Wow! That is a heck of a way to serve papers on someone! LOL! I can't stop giggling about it! LOL! I am glad you are safe but, along with those papers he got served, do you think you should have Mickey Mouse come back and serve him with a restraining order too? I am a bit worried for you! Ever think of turning that lighter into something that could pack a bit of a punch? Something with little metal things inside that got "Pow" when they come out of it and, if they hit skin, blood comes out? Also, consider having Mickey Mouse come back out and serve papers on him for doing bodily harm to your peonies. What did they do to him to deserve such cruel and unusual punishment? Enjoy that bed! And, stay safe!
| |

|
|
sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | I'm safe and the peonies will get replanted, but oh, the thought of rolly polly man coming back to serve a restraining order, just cracks me up! ROFL
| |
|
|
cortjo73 (2205) | 5 months ago | I am glad you are safe and I hope that your peonies will bounce back with even more verve than before. And, I like the internal picture of Mickey Mouse coming back too! LOL! I am guessing his company likes the thought of adding insult to injury to those he serves papers to while giving the person he is serving papers on behalf, a good hearty giggle! LOL!

8. kamran12 (1810) | 5 months ago | Hello spark!:-) That must have been quite a scene there. It appears that it wasn't the very right moment to be 'served', or perhaps it was, as you could see the reactions, first hand. But, it surely put you to risk and I am glad that you managed to avoid him eventually. Well, they say that all is well that ends well. Be safe, my friend!:-)

sparkofinsanity (1920) | 5 months ago | It's certainly one for the memory books Kamran. I rather doubt the soon to be ex will ever see it that way though! LOL
