EniaMar 14

Last night we called 911 because 7 adults living in this building confirmed smelling gas.

and it turned out that the remaining 2 adults were harboring the remnants of a ripe durian in their trash.

A ladder and an engine came out. With a command vehicle! They took the durian with them when they left. Laughing.

@the_turtle genuinely though. That one fruit smelled up the whole building! And even if they took it down to the bins in the basement, we’re expecting a heat wave this week, it would have murdered all of us by the time of next trash pickup.

@eniatitova the local Lotte market in northern Virginia sells them, whole, frozen solid, wrapped in probably 15 layers of plastic wrap. In southeast Asia some cities ban them from buses and trains.

@the_turtle i see them in stores all the time here. I just didn’t think that anyone would subject me to that smell, inside my own home. and btw: pretty sure they got some more after it was removed. I smelled it again last night.
