But anyway, I went outside to get something out of my car, open the backdoor to my garage and Mr. Stinky is RIGHT THERE. And when I say right there, I mean basically trapped between the side of my car and the side of the garage. Worst case scenario to encounter a skunk, cornered, startled, etc.
We both freeze........I see the tail shoot straight up in the air.......
OH DEAR GOD MR. STINKY NOOOOOOOO
The tail twitches.......slowly lowers.....and then our beloved neighborhood mascot decided to show me mercy, and turned around and waddled off into the night. Ho. Ly. Shit that was intense.
