Citizen complaint of the day: My eyes can't unsee this

By adamg on Sun, 09/01/2019 - 8:29am

As you might expect, 311 complaints this weekend are focusing on move-in/move-out detritus in Boston's student-heavy wards (and South Boston). One brave concerned citizen risked his camera's sensor to file a 311 complaint about a couch at Charlesview and Newton streets in Brighton - that it was on the street, not that somebody actually once paid money for it.

And South Boston ?

in case you haven’t notice Southie has more than its fair share of student buffoons. All of them trying out the local drinking spots after mommy and daddy left post moving in.

As ulgy couches go

At least it as some personality. I bet the former owner was a Human League fan.

Human League fan?

♪ I was working as a sofa in a student ghetto
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you ♪

Now five years later on, this couch is sitting out on the street
Decor has been so easy for you.
Some student will come and take it into their home
And later throw it out again too.

Fashion question

What's an ulgy couch? Is that some new style trend I'm not aware of?

Put the hunk in the boat on the couch. Problem solved.

Yah it looks ugly, but at one time that was “ the style” and not abnormal. Same as avocado or mustard colored appliances, perm hairdo on males, wearing leather ties, etc etc....
