Brought to you by the water main leak on the street below us. It has been there for at least a month. I can see it from our bathroom window every morning when I get ready and every time that I drive by that street. I was wondering when someone was going to report it because it would soon turn into a sheet of ice. Well, it finally froze over on Saturday and somebody must have reported it (or finally bitched enough) because they are fixing it today. I pointed the ice out to DH on Saturday and he had no idea about the leak.
Oddly enough, the city did come out looking for a leak on our street a few weeks ago that my neighbor had reported. I'm thinking now my neighbor is just as observant as me, but the city didn't understand he meant another street.
This neighbor is well known for being an "advocate" (lol, more like complainer) for the neighborhood. Back in the 90s, he took a case to the state supreme court which set a precedent on what the water company is responsible for maintaining. All for that work for the 6 houses on our little street. We're famous!
Anyway, would you have noticed a water leak? There was running water across the street for WEEKS. Anything you tend to notice more so than others?
I am maybe not as observant as I thought. Tapatalk app wasn't working properly so I went into settings and realized it had me listed as "male" instead of "female" Embarrassing...
I'm trying to be more observant, but sometimes I don't notice obvious things right in front of me. My H is much more observant, so I think we balance each other out .

I'm not very observant. I'm like a guy in that I don't always notice things like hair cuts. Or I'll notice and immediately get distracted and not say anything.
I would notice the water. H would not. He is a great driver and notice things a lot faster then I do; therefore he drives 95% of the time, which I love. Overall I'd say I'm pretty good at observing things unless I'm focused on something else!
I would notice the water. Only because it has happened several times in our neighborhood. DH is much more observant then I am. A lot of times I am oblivious to things.
