Hatred for Apes, Monkeys, etc.
House of the Apes is currently on hiatus due to my renewed disgust with the apes. Tis the season for a battle of angry cowardly notes again, and last year’s ugly battle rears its head again. (See House of the Apes #1 in sidebar.) I have not touched the thermostat in weeks to avoid bringing on any battles, but came downstairs to find a note reading “PLEASE STOP LEAVING THE HEAT AT 70!” In all-caps, each letter scratched over and over like a crazed rageaholic. It wasn’t directed to me since I didn’t touch the dial, but I’m so tired of cowards. No one should have to wake up in the morning to an angry shouting note on their dining room wall, in their own house. And the person who left the note conveniently left it as they were leaving the house for the day, so they left someone with a shitty feeling all day and ran away to escape any consequences. Hopefully my addendum to the note will mitigate their bad feeling: “Wasn’t me but you might try talking to people rather than leaving notes.” Will probably bring on more backlash, but at this point I don’t care. Bring it on, I’m ready to fight the stupid fight.
I hate the apes. And I hope they are reading this.
