To the person who decided to take the garbage bags full of stuff that were on my back porch: Have fun with that. Those bags were full of a lot of my personal stuff, including clothes, posters, games, a drum, and more. The reason they were in garbage bags on the back porch? Because they are loaded with bedbugs and I hadn’t gotten around to deinfesting them yet. So, in short, enjoy your new bed bugs, pal! —Goodnight, Sleep Tight

LOLz – I’ll take poetic justice over karma any day of the week.
Ug. These are probably in my apartment building now. The guy who lives in the basement used to be homeless and still likes to spend his time rummaging through garbages and bringing things home like furniture and leaving some of it in the common areas. I seriously cannot wait to get out of this god damn place!
NOW THAT”S KARMA! 🙂
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA *breatheshard* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Best.
Bitch.
Ever.
I have dealt with bed bugs. They are evil blood-sucking creatures who only come out at night . . . mostly.
It took a few months but we prevailed over the nasty devils.
Sorry about the theft of your property. As you seem to be aware, most of it could probably have been salvaged.
Hopefully the thief will take the stuff home and end up with a major infestation in his living quarters before he realizes it. Beds and sofas aren’t so easy to salvage from an infestation and usually end up on the curb.
Poetic justice indeed.
Gross! How about the rest of your apartment; where is that? Your shit is full of bedbugs, sitting out on your (I’m guessing soggy) back porch because of it, yet you still “haven’t gotten around to de-infesting”? Fuck!! And sorry, but how could anyone possibly not notice bedbugs until they became so extreme that drums, toys and the like came to be “loaded” with them?
But will it be ‘karma’ if garbage bag collector stores these at his girlfriends parents place who’s only connection to the items is knowing the guy? I guess it is ‘karma’ if they cheated on their taxes or something.
Clerk: Dude, karma.
Homer: What?
Clerk: [pointing at the hat] Karma, karma.
Homer: [neuter] Oh, I get it. [walks away]
This should almost be a love 🙂 now you dont have to deal with em!
Z,
You asked how anyone could possibly not notice bedbugs until they become so extreme that most of their possessions are “loaded” with them?
It’s easy. Bedbugs aren’t like lice or ticks. They don’t usually travel in the daytime and you likely wouldn’t notice them if they did. They hide in cracks and crevices, behind baseboards and in nightstands. When night falls the bedbugs come out to hunt and what they hunt is human blood. They are programmed to do their hunting and feeding in the wee small hours of the morning when their human victims are fast asleep and helpless. They leave only small wounds which in many cases aren’t noticed by the human victims. Once they feed they return to their lairs to wait out the daylight until nightfall once again brings a fresh feast to them.
As for removing all of one’s belongings to the porch, that is the first step in combating an infestation regardless of how extensive it is, because you can’t be sure that one rogue bed bug hasn’t taken up residence in your laptop bag or djembe. All it takes is one blood-sucking female to feast and lay eggs and you’re back where you started.
Of course, the only way to be sure of total extermination is an orbital bombardment with nukes, but that option isn’t often available.
Once you’ve been on a “bug hunt” yourself, you’ll never again dismiss them as an “easy kill”.
wow commandante… you made them sound like vampires for a minute there….
but more like Stephenie Meyer’s wet dream vampires… pansies…
not the cool vampires like bram stoker’s…
Hopefully the crackhead who stole that shit enjoys the itching.
Commandante, I didn’t mean to come across like I think bedbugs are an easy kill; I was just put off by the tone of the poster. When it comes to the Op’s “getting around to de-infesting, for bedbugs” it’s the “getting around’ part which made him seem awfully casual about his total fucking nightmare of a problem.
you just gotta love this bitch. it seems there is a thing called karma out there, after all. hope the douche gets a good rash and a zillion bites too, o.p.
This is awesome.
We had bedbugs, given the nature of transient Fort McMurray it was bound to happen in rental property. We got rid of two mattresses and dealt with disgusting spraying. Luckily, it was confined to one room adjoining the next apartment. They were estimated to be there for over 3 months before we noticed them ( I thought the itching was dry skin due to just moving from NS). So yes, it can be much overlooked.
we have had roach and flea infestations in toronto, but nothing here. i have friends who have had “the crimson ramblers” and it is brutal
OB…this is a great bitch.
What really sucks about it (besides your loss of course) is none of us will ever hear the tale of how much shit he/she’s caused themselves !
This is awesome.
I’m sorry about your stuff being stolen OP, but I gotta be honest I’m kind of glad it was.
The shitty thing about the poetic justice in this case – is that if said random guy brings all this stuff home to his MULTI-UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING – then everyone else, who aren’t stealing your stuff, will be in on the blood meal.
Not that it is your fault – how could you know some guy would steal your garbage bags?? yuck
fire and plenty of it *shudder*
Hi Z, this is the poster. Just so you know, the reason that I sound so ‘casual’ about having bags full of bedbug-infested stuff is because I am currently in the process of deinfesting the OTHER half of my stuff, via freezer. It’s a slow process, but effective from what I hear. Therefore, anything I didn’t have room in the freezer for yet went on the back porch, and is now gone. It sucks that my stuff is gone, but now I don’t have to worry about deinfesting it, at least. Thanks for the comments, all!
Haahahahahahaha that’s awesome!
Good luck with the rest of your deinfesting Jadarendir!
AWESOMENESS!!!
bahahahahaha……
Bed bugs scare the hell out of me.
Press particle board furniture is the worse. They lay eggs in the cracks and crevivices of unfinished edges … Like along the back side of the furniture. I actually used spray varnish on the underside of all my furniture, bed frame, anything wooden and ingot them. Screw olds in the wooden furniture? The love laying eggs there. I out clear tape over the screw holes on my ikea bed incase I missed any in the. And a week later there was baby bedbug corpses stuck I the holes top the tape. The go everywhere, I had a minor I gestation and no carpets and it was still he’ll getting rid of them. Good luck! Ps, winter is great for leaving stuff safely outside for three or four days to freeze the fuckers away.

LOLOL, I know this person and I was there when the tehft was discovered. Brah, I’m glad you followed my advice and accepted that which you could not change, and had another swig of the ole’ Kraken (best spiced rum ever, by the way). Even if I hadn’t been around for this situation, still a fucking awesome bitch. Poetic justice indeed.
