The things people throw away :(

[VideoFever1982]

I'll explain this one last time for the ones that can't seem to comprehend. Basically, what we pick up are the same items you would find at a thrift store. Receivers, computers, games, systems dvd players etc. They are outside in plain view and are clean. It's not like they are in the bag with household garbage or they have crap all over them. Instead of being in a store, they are out in the open for free. Better than paying for the junk. Especially since the economy is the way it is. Not everybody has money falling out of their azz like some. The people that whine about filth or dirt either must be jealous or they have a bank account like Bill Gates.

I had a roomate a few years ago who was'nt afraid to go dumpster diving. I always thought it was gross(it is, looking through people's trash is very nasty) but one night I went with her to help her find some aluminum cans because we were very broke at the time. She convinced me it was worth it. I refused to go inside a dumpster tho,so I just kept look out for my friend and filled up the bags.That's where we found a working credit card slider machine thingy(never used it tho), a record collection....found a bunch of cd's that I still have in my collection.

 

Okay now this is very illegal lol but during that same night we found an ounce of marijuana that one of our neighbor growers threw out. It was mostly the stocks and stems but there were still alot of buds LOL. Ever since that night tho never again,but yeah it amazes me what people throw away.

 

 

about 90% of it is pure rubbish and nastiness tho,interesting smells lol.

 

It's a girl? Man, I find it super-sexy that a girl would be cool enough to go garbage-hunting. I'm 100% serious, BTW. Most girly-girls would find that disgusting.

 

 

 

Yes I just said my ex roommate's a girl lol and well she was'nt really a girly-girl,she was a really tough woman like that and did'nt give a crap. 10 years older than me too. She'd always call me her little sister and made fun of me for being scared to go inside the dumpster.

I can't say there's anything wrong with being scared. If you don't know, don't bother. But if your scared and want to know more about it, then try to find out what you can first and you won't be as worried about it. I was a little hesitant back when i first started but i watched others do it and i said heck, can't be all that bad. Now I've been doing it since i was 12.

To each their own,going inside dumpsters for a whole night and hopefully looking for something "valuable"does'nt seem very appealing to me. And, no wayy that's Sexy!!!

 

If you think making out with someone who smells like a corpse is sexy than that's all you lol.

I'd say not. I'd prefer the smell of beer before i'd want someone coming in smelling like they just crawled out of the trash compacter. As, for looking, i can't afford not to. I clear at least $3000+ per year just in items i find. I don't have to hope in 95% of what i do as i almost always find something every time. $300 dvd combo i found last year. A $2500 sony XBR i found 2 weeks ago. Had tested and found to need simple part which i have to put on order. Xbox system last year, Ps2 system last year, Expensive high end equipment such as Nakamichi, Yamaha, Marantz etc. Laser disc players, Some of the best vcrs ever made. Expensive furniture, 200 watt speakers, high powered subs. The rich people toss and the less fortunate take.

Of course it's not sexy to you, but to a guy it is extremely sexy. Look at reruns of The Facts of Life. Blair was clearly hotter but every 80's kid liked Jo better. Why? Because she was tough and the type of girl you can take to an arcade and have a blast. Yet all the girls would say "How could you guys like her, she's manly and a tomboy yada yada".

Makes sense. Everybody likes someone who isn't weak or afraid to jump into something. Just as long as she doesn't stink tho. I dated a girl once that smelled like tuna fish. I can tell ya that only lasted 4 days.

Lol, well no, she must smell like a girl. Like fresh strawberries, no tuna.

 

I give you credit for lasting 4 days with her. Was she at least cute?

Oh yeah i'd say she was but damn, when you come smelling like that everyday and on the 4th day, you still have the same clothes on you had on the 1st day, somethings wrong in denmark.

Ah, note to self, stay away from girls in Denmark.

LOL!!! What no love for Trudy or Mrs. Garrett?? and Jo!?!? First time I ever heard anyone say they liked her lol. Well... I did'nt go inside the dumpster but I did stand by it for a longtime at least

Lol, all the boys liked Jo. We also liked Joan Jette. It's cool liking a girl who can kick our ass.

 

Then again, I think it's a major turn-on if a girl can pick up a mouse or hook a worm when fishing. But I agree, they must be clean and smell like girls.

No but the thought had crossed my mind.

Although I've been guilty of a couple of curb-side pick ups (the last one was in 2007, when I picked up a coffee table and two end tables that were at the top of a garbage pile next to my apartment building's dumpster...), I find the whole act terribly rude. One man's trash still belongs to that man, until it hits the garbage truck. My partner's mother (who spends 100% of her earnings on scratch-off lottery tickets, no joke!) garbage picks for 'treasures' and recyclable cans...rather than getting a part time job (which would probably be more lucrative, and a LOT classier)....

 

I guess I just associate garbage picking with a crazy, old woman, who sifts through garbage, and begs me for cigarette money...YUCK (to smoking and to garbage)!

That is 100% false. One it hits the curb, you forfit your right to it. Unless your garbage is in a private doorway (like in some apartment complexes), anyone can walk to the curb and take it legally. The sidewalk is public property, which is why by law you must shovel snow on the sidewalk in front of your house.

 

Unrealated but ya know what also bothers me? Jerkoff tough-guy wannabees that think only they can park in front of their house. BS! The city owns the property in front of your house. This is a major pet peeve of mine. Ok, rant complete.

about 90% of it is pure rubbish and nastiness tho,interesting smells lol.

It baffles me that even a nerdy, video game board can be just as girl-crazy as a junior high school, boys' locker room. I mean no disrespect, but everything that lush has posted has been followed up with a, "Oh man, you're a chick and that's hot..." or something equally as inane....

 

I'm sorry, I just had to point that out

I agree with you on that: curbs and public dumpsters are not private property. I have issues with private driveways and garages, though...

I one parked in fron of a guy's house, not blocking the driveway or anything. The next morning there was a note on my winshield asking me not to park there again, as it was his spot. I would love to have kept parking there and dared him to call the police about it, but at the time I had a Grand National (collecter's car, fastest car of the 80's, uber cool), and I didn't want to risk him doing anything to it.

Yeah, sweet ride!!! It would have been funny to go pick up an old rusty Eagle station wagon and abandon it in front of his house.

Just a basic Regal or the GNX?

Once trash hits the curb, it's anybody's game. If they wanted it, they wouldn't have put it out there. As for getting a part time job, that's fine if your not disabled like be. I can't work so i do what i do. Hobbies etc.
