Restaurant | Missouri, USA(I’ve been warned that a raccoon lives in our restaurant’s dumpster. One day when I take out the trash, it jumps up on the lid and scares me. The next day, I’m talking to a coworker about it.)
Coworker: “You just have to talk to him.”
Me: “What?”
Coworker: “Talk to him; let him know what’s up. Here, I’ll show you.”
(She grabs an armful of boxes and we head out to the dumpster and she throws them in. I jump as I hear the raccoon make a sound.)
Coworker: “Sorry if I hit ya, Coonie.”
Raccoon: *series of raccoon sounds*
Coworker: “Well sorry! You should find a more suitable place to sleep then.”
Raccoon: *long series of sounds*
Coworker: “I know; they’re just boxes..”
Raccoon: *more sounds*
Coworker: “Well, it’s still daytime. Go back to sleep and someone will feed you later.”
Raccoon: *short sound*
Coworker: “Well, sorry!” *to me* “He’s cranky in the mornings.”
(After that, I always talked to the raccoon. He’s never talked back to me, but he’s never jumped out at me again either!)
