I called the HVAC company to tell them I had two monkeys on my air conditioning unit.
They appeared to be trying to dismantle the AC unit, but I would not go outside to look closer.
I could hear the laughter in her voice when the woman at the HVAC company heard my request. I told her I wasn’t nuts, and I even took a picture of the monkeys sitting on top of my air conditioning unit. It was winter, so I had no reason to worry about AC right now, but if the monkeys did any damage, I would be on the hook for a new AC unit in the spring. As soon as she got the text with the pictures, I could hear her voice change. She asked where the monkeys came from, but I didn’t know, and didn’t think they would answer me if I asked. Fifteen minutes later, my neighbor came over and apologized for the monkeys. He said he was babysitting them for his brother, and they got out of the house. They liked to sit on the AC unit because they could look inside. I wanted to ask why his brother had monkeys, but I didn’t think it was any of my business. He bundled the monkeys up and told me to call the HVAC company to make sure they didn’t do any damage. For a while there, I doubted my sanity as much as the woman at the HVAC company doubted it when i first called. No one would have believed I had monkeys on my air conditioning unit if I hadn’t taken the picture.
