Thats funny as hell !!

I think i've had that look a few times....

This is one of the most entertaining threads I've ever read, and all too
true.

The amount of stuff that goes into landfill is criminal !!! I do commercial
office remodeling and what gets dumped is amazing. The biggest I can
remember was a real large moving file system...had to be worth $50,000 at
least...taken apart and tossed into dumpsters...damn near killed me !!

I have rescued bunches of networking equipment and made some tidy money
selling it off on Ebay, and the buyers got REAL good deals also.

I scored a big Bosch Electric Demo Hammer with case that was on its way to
the dumpster. It needed one of the brushes popped back into place !!! Works
Perfect!!

OK Now......

Vent On

These A**holes that guard the garbage dumps should be run out of
town....along with the ones that come up with such STUPID legislation.
Hearing things like this makes me wonder what the f*** are they thinking ???
We need More garbage, or what...Useless Know Nothing *******s !!

Vent Off

Ahh, that feels better now, thanks....

One time at the dump where it has signs everywhere that you can't pick
up anything one of the workers in a orange jump suit is digging in a
box that he dumped over. The pile was full of nice metal stuff , I
finished unloading my truck and he moved away from a brand new diamond
blade so I just picked it up quick and walked away and he called me
back and took it from me and tossed back in. Looked to be worth about
$200 and he had a arm load of stuff he wanted.

I show up in neighborhoods for my job in the morning and am just
thrilled to see that its garbage day ! I'll stick the truck in second
and idle around for the hunt. I avoid digging , but if its readily
available its mine. Once I found a nice Toro mover and was just about
to hurt my back to toss it in the truck for the father-in-law and
noticed some landscape guys down the street. Ooops almost stole their
equipment. That would be hard to explain to the cops. " Honest its an
addiction, it was placed just like trash, I wouldn't steal a piece of
bubble gum."
