Serenity Now!

OMG!!!!!!!! My son comes home from his friends and tells me that the treasure hunters are out front. What that narrows down to is, people going through our trash. We cleaned out our basement and we had mounds of stuff we gave away that was good and we had mounds of stuff that was shit, pure and simple. Well, there are 5 people digging through the shit right now. I walked hubby out the car since it was time for him to leave for work and one of the ladies had the nerve to say, I found a show for a little guy, do you have the other? Dan said the stuff was junk and that's why it was out for the trashmen. She told me that there was a lot of nice stuff in there. Yikes. After hubby got on his way she told me that everyone in town does this. I don't, there is a reason people throw stuff away. I told her I didn't want to have to come out and put my stuff back into the boxes or trash cans. Alex, Dan, and I had it neatly put out there to make it easier for the trashmen in the morning and now it is strung all over the place. Dan told me just to go pack the back bedrooms then I won't have to see them. Am I wrong to be this uptight? Oh well, we move this weekend and all will be well. I hope.

yeah. They were out there for 2hrs. They had piles of stuff they took, I should send them a bill for it all. They even took underwear and nighties. Alex was totally disgusted by it. He said he would never go through someones trash. He just went on and on about it, he wanted to tell them to leave.

You're lucky your Uncle Butch wasn't there, he would have been showing the treasure hunters how it's done.

Ok confession..not only do I purposefully leave things outside of the dumper at my apt for "treasure hunters" my nightstand is from,*hangs head in shame*, beside said dumpster. *waits for mimi to end her long gasp of horror*

BUT I do have some pride. I NEVER dig. If it's not on top and outside of the dumpster I wont get it. TOTALLY different in my eyes. AND I can't believe they threw stuff around. That makes them WAYYYY worse than me right?

Damn my white trash roots! lol

We used to call one of our friends that dug in "treasures" a dumpster diver. It was mean, I know...

I guess I wouldn't have a problem if the people didn't get ballsy and ask if you had more of "whatever"... OR dug and made a HUGE mess. ugh...

Okay, I'm not appalled that you have gotten treasures, my nephew is famous for it. At least you don't dig through it. If it is sitting in plain site, that's okay, but to actually be nervey enough to spend 2 hrs going through it, well that is just wrong. Shoot, we had our house trash mixed in there. Erins diapers, cat litter, food, gross gross gross. OH well, we move this weekend so it won't be a problem anymore.
