round peg, square hole
16 02 2006Except in this instance, the peg isn’t a peg, it’s a loveseat. And it’s not round. And the hole isn’t a hole, it’s a dumpster. Well, I guess it is a hole in the top of the dumpster, but the hole is rectangular, not square.
Someone keeps leaving stuff like this in our dumpster at work, and it cracks me up every time I see it. It wouldn’t be nearly as funny if the old guy in the office next to mine didn’t get so angry every time it happened. He was rambling on this afternoon about how “if I catch the sumbitch who’s doing that, I’m gonna beat the shit out of him!” Hilarious, especially coming out of a guy who’s pushing 65.
So if any of you have any really large trash you don’t want to pay to dump, bring it to my work, and know that you are providing me some free entertainment.
It’s too bad I sold the CRX already……I’m sure we could have wedged that thing in there
That is SO funny! We have two dumpsters at my work, one for garbage, one for recycling (it’s California!). Both dumpsters are enclosed in a 3 sided concrete “area”. We frequently have homeless people sleeping out there behind the dumpsters; they don’t really both us, we don’t bother them and they go on their merry way once people start arriving for work.
One day I go out there to dump some garbage and see this whole palette laid out behind the garbage dumpster and just leave everything as is because it looks like maybe they’re coming back. As I get to looking around I see these blueprints laying there and am thinking to myself….what the hell???? I look at the blueprints and I kid you not, they’re the blueprints for “XYZ” State Prison in California! So I gather them up, call the police department, tell them what I’ve got and they sort of blow me off with a “yeah, yeah, yeah, we’ll be there whenever” kind of tone and finally about an hour later a cop shows up. Nice guy but he’s under the impression I just found some blueprints and again the tone was somewhat of a “why the hell did you call the police” kind of attitude. By now I’m getting more steamed and I finally grab the blueprints, open them up and said, “LOOK! XYZ STATE PRISON! HELLO!!!” Then the cop says “oh”, looks at them for a minute, it finally registers with him what he’s looking at and then he says, “OH S$IT!!!” and radios to his buddies and within seconds 3 more cops show up. Gee, guess I wasn’t a hysterical female after all…….
Too bad I didnt know about this when I was really bored and poor my sister and I would have scouted out the dumpster to see if there was anything good to take!
