Bottle

I was sitting enjoying the view from a window on the first floor this morning while waiting for a computer to boot when something caught my eye.

A courier was sitting in his van opposite and I saw him pick up his jacket. No big deal, it is a bit of a grey day, perhaps its cold out. But no he draped it over the steering wheel. He then fetched a plastic bottle from the passenger seat. A plastic 2 litre milk bottle I believe. He took the lid off the bottle and concealed it under the jacket.

30 seconds or so past. He stared idly out his windows. A pedestrian or two walked by. He then removed the bottle, sealed it and folded up his jacket. A few moments later he opened his door a little, looked quickly around and poured from his bottle a couple of hundred mills of yellow liquid onto the road. He then closed the door, resealed the bottle again, put on his seatbelt, spoke a brief sentence or two on his radio and drove off.

Delightful. I don't have a window at my desk and so miss out on this sort of thing. What a pity.
