You know, I really don’t care that you dig through my trash to get my returnables. I’m too lazy to bring them to a depot and HRM’s making a cent off me, but I’m not too concerned.

What I am concerned about however, is this. When you take the bottles and cans, just take the bottles and cans. Don’t dump the remaining recyclables out of the bag into the street, and then proceed to take the bag! What little respect I had for you is now gone. —They Have Recycling Bags at Dollar Stores

  1. bottle people tend to not give a fuck about cleaning up after themselves I’ve observed 🙂

  2. I have noticed the same. Next time you see the guy coming, call the police and have him charged with littering. What’s the fine for that up too now? Definitely more than a few cans.

  3. most curb rats bring their own bags and carts. you got a lazy fuck on your street.

  4. I’ve taken to keeping my recyclables on my back porch and then flagging down a bottle person when I see them to offer my bottles and cans. That way they get the money, I get rid of my shit, and there’s no mess to clean up!

    Or you could keep them in separate bags at the curb so they’ll just take the whole bag rather than riffling through. No, it’s not your fault they’re messy, but it’s an easy fix.

  5. Oh man. There’s this one crazy ass that comes by almost daily — usually flipping people off and screaming random nonsense about the world being unfair or something. I dunno. And the funny thing is, I don’t care about recycling, I won’t ever being them to a depot, and of my roommates I’m not even the one that puts the recyclables out — but I STILL don’t want that asshole having my recyclables. Haha.

  6. There’s this one guy that is always going throw my building’s garbage/compost/recycling recepticals. He even finds things in the green bin with some food in it still, and leaves it in our backyard for the birds and bugs to enjoy. And our garbage container is a mess! It is a small wooden container thing with both garbage and recycling things in it…the guy (or guys) rip open the garbage bags and go through them…so there’s like old gross food, used everything, etc all over the place! no one wants to touch that nasty shit so it fucking stays there until the landlord comes and cleans it. Not to mention it’s super creepy having the same guy in my backyard almost everyday…I hope he enjoys rooting through my cat’s used litter box clumps..

  7. re: italics

    I’m looking into it. It appears to just happen for no random reason. I’m hoping the investigation will turn up a better, avoidable reason.

  8. I’m thinking it’s someone accidentally posting with an open italics tag and since
    a. it’s never closed, the rest of the page is in its scope… and
    b. it’s interpreted by the browser so you can’t actually see it unless you look at the source.

    just my guess.
    I know I’ve tried posting ”s before and couldn’t see them…

  9. and stupid me, I just did it again.
    it was the greater than and less than signs.

    is this written in PHP?

  10. jdp21!

    Is he a white guy with black hair? And does he talk about crazy shit like students and young people sucking and gobbling cock while even making hand gestures of someone giving head?

    It sounds like the one I hear going up/down South Street sometimes. The other day I saw him on Barrington and he had his middle finger stuck out facing out to his right side as he walked down the street and passed cars.

  11. NGF! YES! That’s the guy! I live on South Park street and he comes into our backyard to grab our stuff. Sometimes I wanna yell at him from my window like a madman… lol.

  12. Hahahahahaha, too hilarious!! I see/hear him all the time. A few times I’ve even seen him IN the dumpster behind Dal-Tech’s residence looking for cans/bottles/etc. To be honest I feel like yelling out the window at him when he walks by doing his cock-fondling bit and yelling anything that comes across his mind.

    Oddly, when I’ve seen him in the dumpster or walked by him he’s very pleasant and friendly. He would often smile and say hello and comment on the weather – a HUGE difference in his usual rhetoric lol.

    Was he the one in your store too? Sorry about sounding like a kay in that post too lol
