Damn you garbage men!

Not to disrespect any garbage men, but a sick idea I just had was ruined!
I just got in from work, and needless to say today is garbage day. I usually cruise my small neighborhood looking for cool shit people are tossing. Right down the street from me an old couple was throwing away a late 50's, early 60's television. It was a big console thing with only two dials on it. When I passed it in my car I thought of only one thing: KICKASS AQUARIUM! Easy to convert it, then hook the dials up to neon lights on the exterior or something. I could already picture the whole thing set up at my place.
So I get home, park, run inside to piss, change, and see where my furniture dolly is. Meanwhile the garbage truck was making its way towards that house. In my excitement to have this badass TV/aquarium I forgot to see that the truck hadn't made its way to that side of the street yet. I thought the truck left the TV because it was too big or something. By the time I realized what went down it was too late! FUCK! FUCK!!!
While I'm on the topic of garbage men, here's a funny story. Back when my 3 older brothers were in high school, around 16-18, they had a deal going with the garbage guys. Since my brothers had to take the trash out before school on garbage day, they would position the cans a certain way and leave some money. When they got back from school the cans would be empty and they would always be stacked upside down in a pyramid. Our driveway was the only one that ever had their trashcans stacked like this, and for good reason. The garbage dudes would take the money and buy some beer for my brothers and put it under the bottom middle can in the pyramid (of course they always took a beer or two for themselves). It was a genius plan

Hey, my dad is a garbage man and he works hard.
He used to bring home furniture and bikes for us kids. I usually took apart all the stuff he gave to me, just to see how it worked.

I was a Garbage man for 14 months.
It was an interesting job!~
I used to find some pretty cool stuff.

---
One of my co-workers was out on one of his routes one day...
and he came to this house that the cans weren't out where they were suppost to be at...on the curb.
so he walked up the drive and saw the cans were still next to the house.
sitting in a lounge chair in the yard was the lady that lived there... so he said hello to her as he picked up the cans and walked them out to his truck.
She didn't say anything to him...and it sorta pissed him off. It was like she was being rude...and was ignoring him. and after all...he had been nice enough to walk up to get the cans for her that should have been down on the street at the curb.
So he took the cans back up to the house and said something else to her... and she didn't respond...so he threw the cans down on the ground to get a reaction from her...nothing not a sound out of her.
so this made him look a little harder at her.
She had a bullet hole through her forehead!~
He freaked out and called the office on his radio... and they contacted the police.
He had to stay til the police came...so he didn't have to finish his route.
I saw him the next morning and he was quite upset about the whole thing.
creepy!~

and then I had two interesting Charactors that lived on my garbage routes...
Gary Ridgway...The Green River Killer.
and...
Mary Kay Laturno...The semi infamous teacher that had sex with her young student. She ended up having 2 kids with him...inbetween going to prison. She recently married him.
I tripped out when I found out from my cousin(that is still a garbage man) that they lived on 2 of my old garbage routes... he showed me which houses...real creepy!~

I used to love this one route that I had in this RICH area.
These people would throw away stuff that most people sell on Ebay or give to Charities.
I used to get brand new Nike tennis shoes from this one house every week... the guy must have only wore them a couple times and he would throw them away. No marks on them at all. Too bad they weren't my size!~ I gave them all to one of my friends that was a size 12.
I also got a brand new Expresso maker that was still new in the box... $199.00 brand new at Starbucks.
All sorts of cool stuff.

Take a trip to the local dump.. where people are allowed to go and toss their shit for a fee. You'll find all kinds of cool shit.

If I were a garbage man, I would keep so much stuff found in garbage. I would probably have to start a pawn shop for the stuff I find and fix.

What the fuck... Did you ever find out why the lady was shot?
You should consider writing a book about your escapades as a garbage man.

never found out why the lady was killed.
I wouldn't have enough material to write a book on being a Garbage man... it would be a 4 pager at most.
my cousin would though...he's been one for 20 years.
I can see it now...
The Chronicles of a Garbage Man!~

think it would sell?
lolzz

In all honesty if it hasn't been done before (maybe even if it had), it would sell. With stories like that? Hell yes.
