    Years ago (around the holidays) i found a 2’ potted xmas tree on the freeway that had fallen off a truck. I pulled over, took it home, and planted it in my yard.

    Now the fucking thing is 30 feet tall and has taken over my yard. It contributes nothing. It doesn’t bear fruit or even really provide shade because you can’t walk under it. Grass won’t grow around it because it’s such a fucking water hog. It’s gonna cost me loads to have it cut down, removed, and the stump ground down or whatever.

    Fuckin’ trees
