Why Garbagemen are Garbagemen and not, say, nuclear physicists. Or professors. Or doctors.
Last trash day, the garbagemen took my trashcan. That’s right. Rather than empty it, they took the whole damn thing.
At first I thought that someone had stolen it – because surely garbagemen know that their job is to throw away trash, not trash cans, right? Surely the concept is simple enough? Surely they’ve had enough practice? But I’ve been all around the neighborhood (today is trash day again) and it is nowhere to be seen. And besides, the other two cans that were put out on the corner alongside ours are also missing now.
It’s hard to believe that anyone could be that dumb.
Then again, they’re still throwing away all my recycling, even after I spray painted huge recycling logos all over the bin. In fluorescent green paint.
Sigh.

did you call the company?
here we get our trash can for free (part of the service cost) so they can standardize the size they will take.
