Crap, crap and more crap

Offbeat
By Sara Ayers

I recently saw a yard sale at a self-storage facility that included the contents of abandoned storage units. While I don’t wish ill-fortune on anyone, I can see why the contents were abandoned; what I don’t get is why anyone would actually pay money to store this stuff in the first place.

A Santa chip-and-dip or oversized pink sunglasses. What circumstances could have transpired to make someone leave this stuff behind?

There are no less than eight self-storage facilities within ten miles of my home - looks like business is booming.

    I don’t know the answers to these questions:
    Why did anyone make this crap?
    Why did anyone sell this crap?
    Why did anyone buy this crap?
    Why did anyone use this crap?

    But I do know the answer to this question:
    Why did anyone abandon this crap?!
