I had a box barely the size of a pint, you asked me to leave, I politely said I would, then you kept screaming and screaming at me how I was "stealing" as I walked away.

you didn't plant this, it's at least 250 feet long, there's hundreds of pounds of berries here, and you're not gonna pick them you desiccated rich-ass piece of shit, fuck you. your sToLeN blackberries are going taste great on my vanilla ice cream.

    We used to have people who would come in a truck with like 5 people and a ton of bags and pick our entire tree in less than a minute. A couple years ago we left a sign that said “people in truck: apples are free. no need to rush”. And when they stopped we went out and talked to them. They were doing this to make some extra cash and I told them I’d help them pick as long as we could have a bushel. If I can make a pie I’m happy.

      That’s lovely. My elderly parents pick apples from their tree and give them to their neighbours. If they have a bumper crop, they’ll leave bags of them out by the sidewalk for people passing by to take home. They know that if they didn’t do this, they’d spoil before they could eat them - why hoard something that can be of use to others?

      On politics, they despise Tories and liked Corbyn, but preferred Tony Benn. I feel lucky.
