A Complete Debarkle
(I work in the call center for parks & gardens.)
Me: “Parks & Gardens, may I help you?”
Resident: “I want a new street tree, please.”
Me: “Okay, ma’am. Is there a problem with your current street tree?”
Resident: “Yes. It doesn’t attract the native birds. I want a street tree that attracts native birds.”
Me: “Okay. We don’t normally replace street trees just because they don’t attract birds. Other forms of wildlife use the street trees too. Is there anything actually wrong with the tree?”
Resident: “Yes. It keeps on growing.”
