Today, while working for my grandma to clean her gutters, my gloves ripped to such a point that they became useless. There was more raccoon shit than leaves in the gutters and I had to clean it all with my bare hands. I'm talking 5 buckets worth of it. To top it off, the high today was a balmy 35° Fahrenheit. FML
jimmyironic tells us more.
for everyone telling me I should have grabbed a new set of gloves, believe me, I tried. I searched the entire house and asked my brother for gloves too. there were no others. I also had a date in 3 hours with my girlfriend and needed to get this done and get showered before it was time to leave. i didn't have money to run to the store to buy new gloves. And grandma wasn't home to loan me the money. Nor would she be home until about 30 minutes before I had to leave. So I just had to suck it up and clean them then. I also live pretty far from my grandma's house and wouldn't be able to see her again until Christmas. so this was my last chance to clean them before they were frozen solid.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

The real question is; when was the last time somebody cleaned the gutters? That's disgusting.

Grandma must be such a slave driver to not let you stop and grab some new gloves...

"Why are there raccoons on the roof? Perhaps they found some food up there, or perhaps they're just curious and want a rooftop stroll, but neither of those is likely. Most likely, they have found a place to live up there - either some gap under an eave or in a soffit that they can live in, or most likely of all: they've found or torn open a hole, and are crawling into the attic and living there - that's why raccoons are climbing on your roof all the time." Time to check grandma's attic.

my brother who used to live there last year was some kind of animal whisperer or something and used to feed them and let them play in his room all the time. the entire section of roof under his bedroom window was caked in shit too.

Today my gutters needed cleaned. I'm too old to do it. My grandson offered to 'work for me'. After all the poopy diapers of his I changed, special times we shared, cookies made, etc, I was surprised he didn't want to help me out. I don't have any control over the weather or wild animals - it broke my heart that all he did was complain.

You're a really good grandson. Your grandma is really lucky to have you.

For future reference baggies and shopping bags make good glove alternatives in a pinch :)
