Don't hand me this garbage, FIST BUMP!
November 4, 2020 at 10:03 am (This post was last modified: November 4, 2020 at 10:04 am by Brian37.)
A little backstory first. When I first moved into where I live now, my garbage collection happened on Thursday on an average time of 11 to noon. But a few years ago they switched to Wednesday to early am. I admit I am fucking lazy, so with the new plan, I often miss putting my bin out on time. Yes I know, "Brian, why the fuck don't you put it out the night before"......Ok did you miss the part where I said I was lazy?

Ok, fast forward to just a few moments ago, I often confuse school bus noises with trash collector vehicle noises. So I heard big vehicle noises, and realized I had seconds to rush my bin to the street for my garbage to be collected on time.

So I made a joke with the collector, "I am always slow on the uptake", because he saw me rushing the bin to the street. He smiled, and I commented " Isn't it sad that we live in a nation with a leader who behaves in the same manor as the dictators they claim to hate?'

He smiled and gave me a fist bump.

Should have been an "elbow collision" - covid safety and whatnot.

Unless he was a shy Trump voter, then the fist bump was intentional.   Coffee

It's an interesting thing, making conversation with bin men due to how one refers to them - garbage men? Offensive, why, they're not garbage! Rubbish men? same problem, only moreso. Stay safe, stick with "waste disposal operatives."

They prefer "sanitation engineers".

I spent the summer between my junior and senior years in high school clinging to the back of a garbage truck. The term garbage man didn't bother me. That was the 70's though and political correctness wasn't out of control.

Um no, only a pasty white moron would do the same job and think Trump is on his side.

This black guy not only smiled on my initial non political joke of squeaking in my bin at the last second, his smile widened as wide as the Pacific Ocean when I  told the truth that Trump didn't give a fuck about anyone.

You've got an odd idea of "truth".


Trump absolutely cares about someone.


Trump.
