Is that a bottle of urine??

Posted on May 26th, 2009 by admin

I almost titled this post:

“Let’s Play….What’s on the Roof?”

But after closer inspection I decided a title with the word urine in it would have a much more exciting effect. Although I may have to pull out the game-show-esque title out in the future.

Let me explain.

The apartment complex where I live has some pros and cons. One of the pros happens to be parking. There is a TON of parking, most of which is covered. Covered parking is a great thing, especially when you live in a hot state like Texas. Covered parking can mean the difference between third degree burns on your palms or just profuse sweating upon entering the vehicle.

There's my Vibe!

I took that picture from my balcony. I look directly out to the covered parking. This is a good thing as I feel that I can keep an eye on my car. Because I like to pretend that if I saw someone stealing it, I would be able to deter them from the safety of my balcony. Yeah, right.

Anyway…the corrugated metal roof of the covered parking is a sort of storage area for various items such as leaves, sticks, pine needles, etc. And by etc., I mean-various non-natural items like beer bottles, beer cans, and other random trash.

I’ve never personally seen anyone throwing trash onto the covered parking roof, but it obviously happens.

We got the beer bottles…

Recycling is fun!

I do believe that’s a Bud Light and a Corona…a big one (40 ounce?).

Then there’s random things…

What the!??

You can see the myriad of items in this picture. In the forefront you will see another huge beer bottle-still wrapped in the paper bag the bum left the party store with.

You will also see another-half filled-Corona bottle, a roll of clear packing tape, a sparkly red item, and a string of metal wire cable stuff.

Who does this stuff?

Then we get to the next roof item…

The bottle of urine.

Thirsty?

Now you may be thinking that this is a bottle of something other than urine. But believe me…it’s urine…pee..piss..whatever you want to call it. I thought at first that it could be apple juice. Apple juice is almost this same exact color. But after further inspection, thanks to the zoom on my camera…I’ve determined it to be a bottle of urine. Apple juice doesn’t come in bottles shaped like that and you can clearly see the blue label half-way ripped off. I think its a Nestle brand bottle actually.

Unfortunately I have to look at this bottle of urine on a daily basis. It’s just sitting there, staring me in the face-taunting me. I can’t and don’t want to attempt to remove it from the roof. So until the apartment complex gets around to cleaning off the roofs (which may never happen), I will have to look at the urine every day.

After a close examination of the urine bottle, I realize that the half-full Corona bottle show in the previous picture contains a liquid that is the same exact shade of pee-yellow.

Who is living in my part of the apartment complex that feels the need to not only pee in a bottle (that can be justified in the right scenario) but to continue to throw the bottle onto the roof of the covered parking?

I’m hoping that they don’t make a habit of it. I don’t know how many more urine filled bottles I can take.

And if the bottle filler happens to be reading my blog please take a recommendation. Drink more water and less Corona. Your urine seems to be very dark yellow which can be an indication of dehydration. The lighter your urine color-the more hydrated you are.

You may be disgusting and repulsive, but I’d hate to see you living your life in a constant state of dehydration.

Drink up bottle filler…drink up.

*Readers: if this little issue continues to occur, we will definately be having a “What’s on my roof?” contest! I know you’re excited. Can it get more exciting than urine filled bottles? Possibly.
