Yesterday, at 2pm, all over the city, was our annual 20-minute makeover, where people go out and pick up trash around their houses, their office buldings, their parks, and help keep the city clean. I was walking back to my office after lunch when the clock stroke 2pm, and all of a sudden these 2 employees of Bank of Montreal at the Bay and College area come out from the front doors of their branch. Both are holding on to a big plastic yellow bag, and both are wearing latex gloves as well. A man in his 20′s, probably a counter clerk and a woman in her 40′s, dressed up in a power suit, most likely some type of manager, and together they start walking down the sidewalk… and then the camera flash… It’s a photo-op… she’s really not going to clean up or pick up any trash, just wants her photo in Bank of Montreal Weekly.

Oh but no, wait a minute, she spots a couple of cigarette butts on the ground by the doors. Pointing at them, she says something in her native asian language and the guy bends over, picks them up and throw them in the bag while she stands in her heels. Another camera flash… Hurray!

Mind you, those two losers did more than I did during the city’s 20- minutes makeover, but at least I did make it worst like the fat fuck coming my way who finished his diet coke and left it on the sidewalk by the Starbucks, approximately 12 steps away from a nice shiny garbage can.

Today, we’re going to ride our bicycles and enjoy the clean city before too many fat fucks drinking diet coke terrorize the place some more.
