It was an early Fall day, sunny but mid-60s. On the way back from a hike with the pooch I stopped at a liquor store for some beer. I parked in the shade. Oh and the windows were cracked open too.

I went into the store, bought a 6-pack and returned to my car in no more than a few minutes to find some pudgy, bearded 20 YO in a City worker's uniform leaning against his City truck parked next to me. He was staring pointed at his phone. He then smugly exclaimed that he'd already called the cops on me for "leaving my dog in a hot car".

The bald faced virtue signalling of it call caught me by complete surprise. I was literally speechless and gawked at the guy as if he had 3 heads. I got in my car and drove off, still hardly able to process what I had just encountered.

Later, of course, I kicked myself for not getting his information and then letting his boss know what his worker was doing on City time, namely bothering people for no reason beyond likes on social media. Nothing would happen to him, of course, but maybe it would give the useless fucker pause the next time he feels the need to right some horrible injustice that Facebook told him about.

You find a dog in a car in 80F heat then break a fucking window and call the cops, you have my blessing. But for all the rest of you looking for excuses to virtuously trumpet your moral superiority go fuck yourselves.
