I had another "Well that was a surprise..." yesterday.
About three months ago my longtime Thai neighbor, Dtaa, moved out her house next door to ours so she could rent it out to a group of Vietnamese guys. Other than talking loudly during the day they hadn't been bad neighbors.
Well yesterday my lady tells me to come quickly and look what's happening next door. So we go into our 2nd floor master bedroom and look out the window that overlooks the driveway next door. She tells me the guys are breaking their one year lease and moving out early. Because Dtaa was keeping their deposit they decided as compensation they'd try to take her new refrigerator with with them and were in the process of loading it on the back of the truck.
My lady had called Dtaa to report what was happening and she and her adult son arrived before they could leave. After much back and forth conversation we see them unloading the refrigerator, but the surprise was what came next. I then see them loading up a piece of junk old refrigerator. Turns out what they were trying to do is swap their piece of junk old one for her new refrigerator, as if she wouldn't notice the switch.
Just when you think you've seen it all, a new surprise smacks you in the face.
