Plumbing tourists.
Nosy neighbor and friend, investigating temporary repairs to the water main feeding the house. They think I'm not home, and, because I'm not home, it's alright for them to cruise the property poking into faucets and hoses and sprinklers.
One says to the other, "I guess he doesn't want to be here if things aren't perfect," seemingly referring to your humble author.
Is that my cue to intervene? It could be funny. But maybe not. I'm angry that they've invaded my space, and I'm let's say impatient over their read of the situation.
Nevermind. There's no upside to calling out absolutely everyone.
