People please pay your rent. Probably one of the worst parts about being a Constable is having to evict people. It’s a strange thing to walk into someone else’s home and tell them they have 10 minutes to grab what they can and leave. Granted they have had 10 days notice that I’m coming but some people just bury their heads in the sand. I don’t necessarily feel bad for the adults. I feel bad for the kids.
I know I don’t know why they can’t pay their rent or what their situation is but their are resources out there to help them. I’ve had financial troubles, I get it. I’ve also never been unemployed. I’ll take whatever job I can get if it’s the only job I can get.
Most of the evictions I do the people have nicer things in their place than you’ll find in mine. I didn’t always know this I learned it the hard way. Mortage/rent first, then car if that’s how you get to and from work. Food, utilities and clothes. That’s all you really need……
Here’s an eviction I didn’t felt bad doing. If only I could share the smells….

You can keep the smells, I’m not fond of cat urine, stale cigarette smoke, and rotten garbage…I’ve been in plenty of those myself, where the family has housed two or three cats and dogs, smoking a pack of cigarettes a day while sitting on a couch and drinking alcohol like a fish and watching a $250 cable package on a huge TV but can’t figure out why they don’t have any money. It usually goes something like this: “But I can’t find a job, no one is hiring.” My response, “There’s a ton of restaurants that are looking for help”, only to hear “I refuse to flip burgers for a living” as the retort. “Well, here’s your eviction notice, so there’s that…”
