Attack of a killer Chipmunk

This is what I get for trying to be a good citizen and recycl all my coke cans and water bottles. This morning, I was taking the recycling bin to the curb for pick up and saw a chipmunk hiding behind it. The first thing that came to my mind was NOT Alvin and the Chipmunks singing Bad Day by Daniel Powter in their cute squeeky little voices. The first and ONLY thing I could think of was teeth. Sharp little teeth. Ow.

So, I threw the bag of cans into the bin from a distance. It didn't scare it away. Darn. I threw an empty coke can into the bin from a distance and it worked. It ran out and danced around my feet "squeek squeek squeek!!" I did my best bug dance and ran inside screaming. AHH!!!

Seriously. I hate hate hate anything smaller than me that lives outside. I don't mind it being within a 10 foot radius, but too close is too much. I hate bugs, fish, squirrels, birds, CHIPMUNKS. But mostly just the bugs.

My sister in law had to go outside and move the bin for me, seeing as I was thoroughly traumatized by that chipmunk. Makes you think twice about saving the environment, doesn't it?

Maybe I looked something like this:
