Open Letter to the Public Works Department of Haddon Twp

Dear Public Works of Haddon Township

I would just like to thank you for the crass way I was talked to this morning when I called your office.
I dealt with the administrative assistant or whoever answers the phone.
I told her my plight.


What is my plight you ask?
Well on Sunday, in the beautiful 61 degree weather, I took my 10 yr & 2 yr old boys across the street to the playground. You know the one, the pink one that is next to the community pool.
It's cute.
It's a jungle gym with 2 slides & a tube & some other rough & tumbly things attached to it.
We had a great time.
The other family with their 2 yr old boy had a fun time.


What was not so fun was upon leaving with my children & dh I looked onto the ground & what did I see not 4 feet from 2 yr old's scooter but a used condom.
Yes.
A condom.
Used none the less.
Ew!


So I called today because being a resident with children I want to take part in the beautiful equipment you provide.
Imagine my surprise when the woman I spoke to acted as if I was bothering her & that it was a pain in the ass to get someone to come out & clean it up.
Obviously she doesn't want to enjoy the lovely playground equipment.


I do not think, that at 10 & 2 yrs old, I as a parent should have to explain what a condom is. Nor should I have to disinfect my 2 yr old's hands when he goes to grab the flat balloon on the ground.


So Public Works perhaps you could be up on things & when you have them cutting the grass perhaps they could pick up the disgusting trash laying on the ground.
Just a suggestion.


As for Miss Pissy Pants who answered the phone, perhaps you should call a dr he may be able to help you with that nasty condition of yours.


Signed
Woops!
