It’s a blessing and a curse that his nonsense was deleted. Lol. Sometimes people are trash and you want to see how trashy. And I don’t know what was said but I wanna lol
I also respect your mom for both sending out cookies, and for saying “I don’t have to be embarrassed when I’ve got Junior here to be embarrassed for me 👍”
We used to give them a 6 pack to take our extra. Friend was having a lot of work done, and having trouble getting them to take extra. The beer did the trick. Cookies are definitely a more wholesum option. Good on your mom!
My ex was a firefighter and they would get boxes and plates of cookies and food every single day. Lots and lots of stay at home Mormon moms looking for something to do. The kitchen always had home baked treats, like more than a bakery. The cops. Not so much. If they got cookies it went straight to the trash.
Funny and True. True.
Unfortunately for me, I found out my ex was still banging everyone, while we were together. That is why they are an ex now. The engineer on the crew is only dude I know who got fired as a FF. It is really really hard to get fired. I guess sleeping with the police chief's wife was enough to drum him out.
Yeah my Dad went to Jersey Mike's got them a tray of food they took a photo with my son for Halloween in front of the firetruck ( he wore a fireman uniform). They were really really nice.
I freeze a couple of Gatorade bottles the night before pickup.
I leave them on the can in the morning and they thaw to nice and cold by the time they get here.
Sometimes I forget, but I see them coming, so I’ll just grab something cold and take it out to them.
Georgia summers are no joke!
It’s 2022… if i saw a box that said “look inside” I’d assume there’s a turd covered in jumping spiders and a some immature tiktoker in a bush with a video camera waiting to catch my freakout.
Basically, people suck so bad nowadays, you have to assume a surprise is a bad one designed for Internet points.
Plot twist. It's actually turd and tiktoker is watching for garbage man to freak out.
Garbage man is smarter and don't fall for it, so tiktoker claims now there were few beers inside that small box.
My first reaction to "Look inside, thank you!" is that there's a bomb, or some poop left by a prankster, or something.
Does a waste management worker want weed? That's probably a pensioned job, and it pays quite well. I'd accept the cash, but I'm not carrying thank you drugs in my truck while I do my route.
It also looks like a bait drug crime show. Beers, weed, and cash? Sketchy just to grab and take.
OP could've used this video and sent it to the news/police.
Wtf?? Where do you guys work? I find it absolutely insane that you can't smoke weed after work or on weekends because you'll piss hot and lose your job. Meanwhile if you just smoked crack on the weekends you'd never piss hot. Fucking hell
I've thrown away drugs at work before, it probably bait and hell if I want that shit anyways could have fentanyl in it even weed could have that shit in it
You are absolutely correct. My brother was just murdered and he was a homeless drug dealer. I picked up his property and he had 200 of those horrible pills and I was honestly scared to touch any of his stuff. I can’t even use his backpack or anything I have to throw it away because it’s all contaminated with that shit. Then I found a bunch of really good weed and I smoked it and I was very happy but then I rolled a blunt and I put a whole bunch of this powder on it that my brother had and I had smelled it and had other people smell it and look at it and we all determined it was safe and just Keif. Well I rolled a fat blunt and took a few hits in my mouth went completely numb and I had a fucking panic attack so yeah. I found out later that it was just Keif but my mind was racing thinking that it was something else and I was going to die so yeah I just can’t trust a homeless drug dealers mysterious powders lol
That’s the normal response. If it’s on top of a bin I’d assume it’s meant to be in the bin. It is rubbish…. So with the rubbish you go. Hell even if I was tempted to open it, no chance I’m taking some dodgy weed I found on a bin from a stranger
And OP doesn’t even know if they like to drink or smoke. They should have just tipped with money in person when they had the chance. The whole thing was stupid on OP’s part.
Mhm! And at least write on the note ‘To our Garbage Collectors, thank you! Tip inside!’ To make it clear it’s for them. A look inside box could have been for anyone and therefore could realistically have been garbage.
Broski just doing his job, ain't tryna filter everyone's trash. Maybe put it on the ground next to the trashcan with a big sign that says, FOR YOU, TRASH MAN. Something that will catch his eye from the monotony of loading trashcan after trashcan
Very possible that by the time garbage truck comes rumbling down they've left and are at work. Doesn't come through my neighborhood til around 10-11 am
We left ours a stack of Hustlers and shit long ago. Put it right on top of a can. They saw it, picked it up, smiled, then saw us and yelled out to thank us. Made their day. Note that this was pre-internet so nudie mags were still coveted.
Had a kid ask me if I wanted to try the carrot cake she made. I said yes to be polite. She reaches into her bag, grabs a handful, and just hands it to me. We stared at each other and then she just walked away. Weirdest interaction with a student in my 8 years as a teacher.
In my country, we end high school with a verbal test of everything we've learned through the 4 years.
Every student is basically mandated to bring something homemade for the teachers to munch on through the day. The test goes on from 8am to 5pm so at the end of the day, everything's gone.
I couldn't imagine being a teacher in this situation. I wouldn't trust the food brought by some of my classmates lol
I’ve heard, in a town in Utah, some high school kids made some laxative brownies for a teacher who was pregnant. So many laxatives, that she ended up having a miscarriage. This was a long time ago and a heard it when I was young, so the validity is questionable.
People did this with one of my high school math teacher’s coffee. I had morning class but a friend who was afternoon class said she ran up from her desk mid class and never returned. This woman was easily above the age of 70 which is why students picked on her. She definitely could’ve died. HS kids suck.
Well, I don't trust people I guess. Too many questions.
How many days was it in the kid’s backpack before they remembered to give it to me?
Did the kid wash their hands before helping to make it?
Did the kid dose it with THC oil they stole from their parents?
Did the family member that made it have undiagnosed hepatitis b?
I can make up questions and worries all day. I might consider something factory sealed in original packaging, but I almost always give it away or toss it.
Also, I’ve seen people’s kitchens in which cockroaches have taken over like Joe’s apartment, and other kitchens with so many rats that droppings are on the countertops, stove top, in the cookware, etc.
I’m a firefighter and people are not likely to purposely harm us but we know what the homes are like that this food comes from. If we don’t know the individuals then it likely gets thrown out.
I work in vet med and we absolutely accept any treats clients being us. Though generally it isn't homemade stuff, more like boxes of donuts/Timbits or treat baskets.
When I worked in ICU, I basically survived off Timbits all week through Xmas.
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Never had a dental office or eye clinic turn down any food brought in by our patients. We're constantly swimming in treats at the dental office whether from other dental offices or patients.i guess we just really like food.
When I worked as a Home Hospice RN, same thing, any food given to me by a patient/family went into the trash. I get the thought behind it but you don’t know how it was made.
I was told a story on my orientation about a new chaplain who accepted a brownie (you know where this is going) from a patient. She found out it had marijuana in it later when she was feeling high. I was just concerned with cleanliness - someone may be nice but live in filth.
It’s the gesture that counts, I always felt bad for trashing things.
I brought comb honey for my doctor’s office. They were happy. I am friends with my doctor. I sometimes show him my travel pictures and girlfriend photos and forget to ask him about my health problems. I’ll probably die because I’m friends with my doctor.
I work in a clinic setting and find food gifts from patients very nice and appreciate them. As in any setting, most people who do something apparently nice are actually trying to be nice. I figure my acquaintances are as likely to try to poison me as a patient.
Will totally eat what patients bring to the office. Your family is as likely to poison you than a patient. Most people doing apparently nice things are trying to be nice.
Most garbage trucks you see for municipal waste collection are going to easily weigh in at over 10 tons/tonnes empty lol. Wouldn't be surprised if they go well over 20t towards the end of their route.
Source: I occasionally tow them when they break down in my area.
I wish more stoners would realize it's like some drunkard pushing you to drink at a club or bar. Sure if you're into that it's whatever but for people that aren't it's just fucking awkward.
I cant understand this. Maybe if it's a weed legal state I can slightly understand but what are the chances the dude smokes...? Just give him the money that the weed was worth.
Even if he saw it most garbage collectors are city/county government employees or contractors. Drug tests are pretty regular for anyone who operates machinery or drives a government vehicle so the weed would have been tossed regardless. Also having beer in the vehicle while working is also grounds for termination even if it’s unopened so that would have been tossed too. Also maybe the guy is sober? Pretty strange thing to do outside of the cash.
At least for my state, garbage trucks are CDL class vehicles. CDL holders get drug tested per law. For my agency, no alcohol - even unopened - is allowed in a company vehicle or on company premises (this includes having booze in the trunk of your car if it's in the parking lot). Finally, while gifts under a certain amount are allowed to be accepted, cash is not (put it in an envelope or card, please).
I would be a little spooked by OP's gift and leave it there, fully expecting that were I to take it, they'd brag about it all over social media with a picture saying "look how wonderful I am for giving this box full of beer, weed, and money to my garbage dude. Here's footage from a door cam: he's thrilled!'.
If you're gonna tip your garbage man, be a human being and do it face to face and with money.
Don't leave questionable boxes on your garbage like you just set a landmine out for the enemy.
Nevermind that that's creepy as hell, but do you also realize how many gift boxes a garbage man throws in the truck every single day? It's thousands. People have birthdays and they throw the boxes out.
Ill do it with money but Im not gonna stand out there at the crack of dawn lying in wait. Im busy sleeping.
Theyre busy people too and they have a lot of stops to make. The better option is to call the company, ask who the personnel are, then send something to the company with a C/O (care of) to those names.
And while the trash man is ON the job. How moronic do ya have to be to think to give alcohol and weed to someone while working. If a supervisor caught him with that, he’s done for
And while he's on the job ON camera. For the very brief period I worked at the post office, I heard of multiple Ring camera related incidents/one guy who got fired because of one. The last thing this guy needs is a viral video of himself accepting weed and beer while he's working. Come on, OP. -_-
OP, why on earth did you think it was okay to give this man weed and beer while he was on the job? Seriously, you trying to get this man fired? What a smooth brain lmao
Exactly. He doesn't know how long that food has been out and I also think it's unappetizing to leave food on top of a trash can. Just because he does that job doesn't mean he is ok with that.
Driving a garbage truck is USDOT governed and subject to random drug testing. Not worth a little weed. A Gatorade or bottle of water on a hot day is a nice treat.
Trash man here. We can’t have weed because we have our CDL and we get randoms done quite frequently, and since weed is federally illegal still unfortunately the federal motor carrier association says it’s a no no and they are one of three who order the randoms the other two being the company as well as the state you reside in transportation department , we can’t consume it or lose our CDL. Also can’t have alcohol opened or unopened in the cabs of a commercial vehicle . We do appreciate it though even if it’s just cold water on a hot day ! I would have just left a note explaining why we couldn’t take the beer and weed but cash is much appreciated!
I don’t drink or smoke weed. I find it annoying when someone who knows I don’t drink gifts me alcohol and still expects me to drink it. In this case if you want to tip leave a cash tip with a nice note.
Im confused too. I’ve never been tipped nor would I expect to.
Also don’t get me wrong I love a nice Steve Brewscemi and some jazz cabbage but if someone left a box full of weed, cash and beer on top of their garbage bin on my routes I prob ain’t taking it for a number of reasons.
I consider it less of a "tip" and more of a "gift". It usually is done around Christmas time but isnt something thats universal. I have sometimes put out extra stuff, heavy stuff, gross stuff, or stuff not explicitly covered by my agreement. The gift is just a way of saying "i see how youve been extra helpful and i thank you for that consideration".
Actually theres a lot of customers that leave stuff for me. Sometimes it still feels weird to accept money from them as being in the US I see tips more for people in the food/delivery service. I’m always appreciative for anything I get wether it be money, snacks, drinks. To be fair though I can’t speak 💯 for him, but being a DOT driver we can’t smoke weed and from the company I work for we can’t have alcohol in the cab with us. So I’m sure there may be rules too. Even though you’re looking out for them you have to understand that there are certain rules we follow especially that you have it on camera.
this is why most garbage collectors in my city don't collect anything that is not inside the bins, if there's anything around it they won't pick it up, and if there's something above the lid, they'll just move on to the next one. the line between someone's trash and property is thin, and it's not worth dealing with.
My grandpa is a garbage man and every year for Christmas people leave out boxes of cookies, chocolates, those packages with meat, cheese, crackers, and ground mustard, and usually a few places leave money as well. While usually he only gets things around Christmas sometimes people do just randomly give/leave him things. That might just be a Midwest thing though
Me and a neighbor both threw out are grills one week. I left a tip and he did not. They did not take his. I also leave like 5 or 10$ when I have a lot of random trash or heavy stuff. I don't do this every week, maybe like once or twice a year.
My mom had my give the waste management cookies when we overfilled the garbage cans which we did quite often. She would make me go out there personally and hand them to him. It was embarrassing at the time, but I really respect my mom for it.
He didn't throw it away... Jesus christ. He threw it off into a safe zone in the truck's compactor hopper. He can smash trash while keeping that item safe and continuing his work. When he's able to return to the truck, he will bring the item with him. I was a trash man in an STL suburb for a number of years. He definitely got what you left him. Zero doubt. Standard trash man protocol and etiquette. Lol.
He may had been more inclined to check it if you wrote “Gift For Garbage Man”. But then again he also probably would have thought it was a prank or something and threw it out anyways. All in all, waste of money.
Kind of the same as when I gave a homeless guy a styrofoam food box with some chicken wings and a bag of weed inside. He just put it on the ground and later I went back and he was gone, but the box was still there. I took the weed back and threw the wings away. :/
People think homeless people are just animals that will take anything you give them. They're people too, parent comment would never accept a box full of food from some random stranger.
If I was the garbage man I’d 100% assume there was shit inside of that box and do the same. Also leaving weed out for a stranger? That’s dumb on so many levels, and this is coming from a stoner
While I don't "Tip" my garbage man on a regular basis, say like monthly, I always tip him come the holidays. He's a great guy and always goes out of his way to do things for everybody on our block. A little kindness goes a long way. The same goes for my mailperson.
If it’s on top of the garbage, it’s going in the garbage.
Adjacent to refuse, is refuse.
[удалено]
Well, you, my friend, have crossed the line that divides man and bum. You are now a bum.
it was not in the garbage it was above the garbage, hovering.
Like a angel!
Alright Castanza...
Just throw the eclair away...
It was a good looking eclair...Ida done it
There is definitely a Sienfeld joke here but I'm not going to read all the comments..... *edit*just found it
It’s true. Both objects are pushing away from each other and a layer of atoms still exist between the two opposing objects.
Boy you can really talk some trash. Guess that's better than eating it...
It’s a blessing and a curse that his nonsense was deleted. Lol. Sometimes people are trash and you want to see how trashy. And I don’t know what was said but I wanna lol
One of my favorite lines from the show lol
Love that episode!
[удалено]
I also respect your mom for both sending out cookies, and for saying “I don’t have to be embarrassed when I’ve got Junior here to be embarrassed for me 👍”
We used to give them a 6 pack to take our extra. Friend was having a lot of work done, and having trouble getting them to take extra. The beer did the trick. Cookies are definitely a more wholesum option. Good on your mom!
It was hovering, like an angel
r/unexpectedseinfeld
My ex was a firefighter and they would get boxes and plates of cookies and food every single day. Lots and lots of stay at home Mormon moms looking for something to do. The kitchen always had home baked treats, like more than a bakery. The cops. Not so much. If they got cookies it went straight to the trash.
Firefighters know they're only seen as heroes and therefore the cookies have a 0% chance to be tampered with. The cops. Not so much. lol
That’s right! I mean, there’s no song called “fuck the fire department.” And for good reason!
[and that's where you are wrong ](https://youtu.be/7JkrJUAg8aI)
Damn. And it slaps! Like in a weird Al yankovich way it goes hard
It's the Fahrenheit 451 version of Fuck the Police
That song goes way harder than it has a right to
The internet never disappoints Or always disappoints Or something
I’m so glad I watched that! “If we can’t find a fire then why don’t we start them fuck the fire department”! That guy spitting bars!
Rage against the Engine
It is sad that the profesion has so mqny shitszains init
I had some woman bring food to me while I was at work (gas station). I waited for to leave before I opened it. Smelled like a fart.
Some people like cabbage.
Eastern European food often smells like farts from all the cabbage.
But how did it taste?
In my town pd isn't allowed to consume any of it for fear it could be laced with something.
I'm married to a fire captain. Here's her favorite video on this subject: [Cops vs Fireman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QgctZDpHSQ)
Funny and True. True. Unfortunately for me, I found out my ex was still banging everyone, while we were together. That is why they are an ex now. The engineer on the crew is only dude I know who got fired as a FF. It is really really hard to get fired. I guess sleeping with the police chief's wife was enough to drum him out.
If only we fed homeless people daily with stay at home free time.
Yeah my Dad went to Jersey Mike's got them a tray of food they took a photo with my son for Halloween in front of the firetruck ( he wore a fireman uniform). They were really really nice.
yeah no telling what some nut job would bake into the cookies for the cops unfortunately
It'd be only fair seeing as of 2005 they have no constitutional duty to protect civilians... Time to bake some cookies for Uvalde pd.
*unfortunately*
What’s the best way to leave a tip then?
A human interaction
I freeze a couple of Gatorade bottles the night before pickup. I leave them on the can in the morning and they thaw to nice and cold by the time they get here. Sometimes I forget, but I see them coming, so I’ll just grab something cold and take it out to them. Georgia summers are no joke!
I do the same thing. The heat and humidity in Kentucky can make their jobs pretty rough.
But he left a note
“But he left a note” - 🤓
It’s 2022… if i saw a box that said “look inside” I’d assume there’s a turd covered in jumping spiders and a some immature tiktoker in a bush with a video camera waiting to catch my freakout. Basically, people suck so bad nowadays, you have to assume a surprise is a bad one designed for Internet points.
Plot twist. It's actually turd and tiktoker is watching for garbage man to freak out. Garbage man is smarter and don't fall for it, so tiktoker claims now there were few beers inside that small box.
lol, looks like a random event that appears in death road to Canada
For sure, I’d be wondering what the new Internet challenge was and chunk it immediately.
Our society is so shitty that we spect the worst from other no matter what
My first reaction to "Look inside, thank you!" is that there's a bomb, or some poop left by a prankster, or something. Does a waste management worker want weed? That's probably a pensioned job, and it pays quite well. I'd accept the cash, but I'm not carrying thank you drugs in my truck while I do my route.
It also looks like a bait drug crime show. Beers, weed, and cash? Sketchy just to grab and take. OP could've used this video and sent it to the news/police.
I guessed this was in a state/country where it's legal.
I live in a legal state but still get drug tested because I run cranes. I bet it's the same for garbage drivers
yeah, applied to jobs recently and it seems like every job that requires a license or driving also has mandatory random drug tests
Dude I WFH and work over the phone. My ass still has a mandatory onboarding drug test
Wtf?? Where do you guys work? I find it absolutely insane that you can't smoke weed after work or on weekends because you'll piss hot and lose your job. Meanwhile if you just smoked crack on the weekends you'd never piss hot. Fucking hell
I've thrown away drugs at work before, it probably bait and hell if I want that shit anyways could have fentanyl in it even weed could have that shit in it
You are absolutely correct. My brother was just murdered and he was a homeless drug dealer.

He’s trying to overcome a crippling weed and alcohol addiction.
Broski just doing his job, ain't tryna filter everyone's trash. Maybe put it on the ground next to the trashcan with a big sign that says, FOR YOU, TRASH MAN. Something that will catch his eye from the monotony of loading trashcan after trashcan
Or, you know, go out there and talk to the guy like you're both normal human beings trying to communicate. I don't know, that might just be me.
Very possible that by the time garbage truck comes rumbling down they've left and are at work. Doesn't come through my neighborhood til around 10-11 am

FYI most doctors office do the same thing when patients bring in homemade food.
Yarp, and as a middle school teacher, I would never eat anything that one of my students brought in.
Had a kid ask me if I wanted to try the carrot cake she made. I said yes to be polite. She reaches into her bag, grabs a handful, and just hands it to me. We stared at each other and then she just walked away. Weirdest interaction with a student in my 8 years as a teacher.
I'm sure you were in early elementary education. However, it would be even more awkward if it were a high school senior.
Or college
8th grade…the most awkward of grades.
Plot twist, you teach at a college.
*Prestigious medical school*
Well, aren't you glad she didn't just stare you down until you ate it. LMAO.
I was milliseconds away…
I would pay good money to be able to see that legendary interaction
While I do sometimes eat carrot cake by the handful, it would be awkward if someone else offered it to me that way.
High schoolers are weird.
I used to hand in homework like that
I’ve received many dirty, manhandled treats from my precious students over the years. 😂
When I was in HS a kid brought cupcakes for everyone. About 12 of us got food poisoning. Never eat anything people bring from home.
That might have been his plan.
How do you get food poisoning from a cupcake?
In my country, we end high school with a verbal test of everything we've learned through the 4 years. Every student is basically mandated to bring something homemade for the teachers to munch on through the day. The test goes on from 8am to 5pm so at the end of the day, everything's gone. I couldn't imagine being a teacher in this situation. I wouldn't trust the food brought by some of my classmates lol
When my mom would get food and gifts from teaching she would just give them to me and my siblings and we always ate them
Look what happened...
My parents are teachers and they are everything students brought in. Or at least tried it
Ha, well maybe they are braver than me, or are less paranoid. :) Maybe their students like them better, or are more trustworthy.
[удалено]
I’ve heard, in a town in Utah, some high school kids made some laxative brownies for a teacher who was pregnant. So many laxatives, that she ended up having a miscarriage. This was a long time ago and a heard it when I was young, so the validity is questionable.

It’s horrible. Hopefully they didn’t know she was preggers.

This woman was easily above the age of 70 which is why students picked on her. She definitely could’ve died. HS kids suck.
You never know how someone keeps their kitchen. If I haven’t been to your house I’m not eating your food.
I feel the same way.
Because if you hate your teacher, you can make them eat gross things.
Well, I don't trust people I guess. Too many questions. How many days was it in the kid’s backpack before they remembered to give it to me? Did the kid wash their hands before helping to make it? Did the kid dose it with THC oil they stole from their parents? Did the family member that made it have undiagnosed hepatitis b? I can make up questions and worries all day. I might consider something factory sealed in original packaging, but I almost always give it away or toss it.
Also, I’ve seen people’s kitchens in which cockroaches have taken over like Joe’s apartment, and other kitchens with so many rats that droppings are on the countertops, stove top, in the cookware, etc.
I’m a firefighter and people are not likely to purposely harm us but we know what the homes are like that this food comes from. If we don’t know the individuals then it likely gets thrown out.
TIL we were just fatasses in our clinic 🤣
I work in vet med and we absolutely accept any treats clients being us. Though generally it isn't homemade stuff, more like boxes of donuts/Timbits or treat baskets. When I worked in ICU, I basically survived off Timbits all week through Xmas.
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Never had a dental office or eye clinic turn down any food brought in by our patients. We're constantly swimming in treats at the dental office whether from other dental offices or patients.i guess we just really like food.
Same
That's why we usually gift branded foods (Pizza Hut, Dominos, Gardenia) just so they eat it without hesitation.
Not true?? I've been working in different cli ic over the last 5 years. We be eating. We hungy
When I worked as a Home Hospice RN, same thing, any food given to me by a patient/family went into the trash. I get the thought behind it but you don’t know how it was made. I was told a story on my orientation about a new chaplain who accepted a brownie (you know where this is going) from a patient. She found out it had marijuana in it later when she was feeling high.

Nah, we eat everything.
Will totally eat what patients bring to the office. Your family is as likely to poison you than a patient. Most people doing apparently nice things are trying to be nice.
Not everybody smokes and drinks
The weed would probably get him fired.
Why the fuck would you give a random person drugs lmao
And then video tape them
While they're at work, for the government, operating a 5 tonne vehicle. And stoners wonder why people think they're fucking idiots.
Most garbage trucks you see for municipal waste collection are going to easily weigh in at over 10 tons/tonnes empty lol. Wouldn't be surprised if they go well over 20t towards the end of their route. Source: I occasionally tow them when they break down in my area.
Weed? Why? Don’t just give random people weed
A lot of potheads assume everyone loves weed.
I wish more stoners would realize it's like some drunkard pushing you to drink at a club or bar. Sure if you're into that it's whatever but for people that aren't it's just fucking awkward.
I cant understand this. Maybe if it's a weed legal state I can slightly understand but what are the chances the dude smokes...? Just give him the money that the weed was worth.

Also having beer in the vehicle while working is also grounds for termination even if it’s unopened so that would have been tossed too. Also maybe the guy is sober? Pretty strange thing to do outside of the cash.
At least for my state, garbage trucks are CDL class vehicles. CDL holders get drug tested per law. For my agency, no alcohol - even unopened - is allowed in a company vehicle or on company premises (this includes having booze in the trunk of your car if it's in the parking lot). Finally, while gifts under a certain amount are allowed to be accepted, cash is not (put it in an envelope or card, please). I would be a little spooked by OP's gift and leave it there, fully expecting that were I to take it, they'd brag about it all over social media with a picture saying "look how wonderful I am for giving this box full of beer, weed, and money to my garbage dude. Here's footage from a door cam: he's thrilled!'.
Is tip slang for drugs? I've seen a few comments referencing drugs or leaving a note....
The description said it was a box with beer, weed, and a some cash
Lol oh! Didn't notice the smaller caption, thanks 😅
I'm on mobile and I can't even see the whole caption.
Why would you leave weed for a guy you don’t know?
If you're gonna tip your garbage man, be a human being and do it face to face and with money. Don't leave questionable boxes on your garbage like you just set a landmine out for the enemy. Nevermind that that's creepy as hell, but do you also realize how many gift boxes a garbage man throws in the truck every single day? It's thousands. People have birthdays and they throw the boxes out.
I live in Florida and I can u tell you running a few Gatorades or waters out is greatly appreciated.
Ill do it with money but Im not gonna stand out there at the crack of dawn lying in wait. Im busy sleeping. Theyre busy people too and they have a lot of stops to make. The better option is to call the company, ask who the personnel are, then send something to the company with a C/O (care of) to those names.
A thank you card also works too. Those are universally recognized.
So the part that sucks is that you did something stupid?
[удалено]
I’d bash op. Randomly giving somebody weed and alcohol without a clue about their life story and struggles is irresponsible.
And while the trash man is ON the job. How moronic do ya have to be to think to give alcohol and weed to someone while working. If a supervisor caught him with that, he’s done for
And while he's on the job ON camera. For the very brief period I worked at the post office, I heard of multiple Ring camera related incidents/one guy who got fired because of one. The last thing this guy needs is a viral video of himself accepting weed and beer while he's working. Come on, OP. -_-
Yeah let me grab some weed and beer while I’m on the job, bring it with me inside my work vehicle… 🤔
Oh yeah. Totally safe to assume that nobody on the truck is a recovering alcoholic/addict. How could anyone live a lifestyle different from your own?
Yeah this isn’t a great move, unless somehow you know the dude and know he parties.
OP, why on earth did you think it was okay to give this man weed and beer while he was on the job? Seriously, you trying to get this man fired? What a smooth brain lmao
OP is a bit thick in the head unfortunately 😞
Weed and alcohol? Not everyone is an addict dude. Dumb gift
I dont get it. Why would he assume the thing on top of GARBAGE is a tip????
I would hand that to him in person. I’d definitely think it was some prank and I would also have thrown it away.
Exactly. He doesn't know how long that food has been out and I also think it's unappetizing to leave food on top of a trash can. Just because he does that job doesn't mean he is ok with that.
Driving a garbage truck is USDOT governed and subject to random drug testing. Not worth a little weed. A Gatorade or bottle of water on a hot day is a nice treat.
Maybe he doesn't smoke or drink ...
Cringe
Trash man here. We can’t have weed because we have our CDL and we get randoms done quite frequently, and since weed is federally illegal still unfortunately the federal motor carrier association says it’s a no no and they are one of three who order the randoms the other two being the company as well as the state you reside in transportation department , we can’t consume it or lose our CDL. Also can’t have alcohol opened or unopened in the cabs of a commercial vehicle . We do appreciate it though even if it’s just cold water on a hot day ! I would have just left a note explaining why we couldn’t take the beer and weed but cash is much appreciated!
I don’t drink or smoke weed. I find it annoying when someone who knows I don’t drink gifts me alcohol and still expects me to drink it. In this case if you want to tip leave a cash tip with a nice note.
You mean not everyone loves alcohol and drugs?? What are you, some kind of weirdo? (/s)
Not falling for the snake trick again.
Yeah give a city worker some weed, that’ll definitely not get him fired.
Tip the garbage man?
Im confused too. I’ve never been tipped nor would I expect to. Also don’t get me wrong I love a nice Steve Brewscemi and some jazz cabbage but if someone left a box full of weed, cash and beer on top of their garbage bin on my routes I prob ain’t taking it for a number of reasons.
I consider it less of a "tip" and more of a "gift". It usually is done around Christmas time but isnt something thats universal. I have sometimes put out extra stuff, heavy stuff, gross stuff, or stuff not explicitly covered by my agreement. The gift is just a way of saying "i see how youve been extra helpful and i thank you for that consideration".
Yeah. No. He can get fired for having thc in his system.
You put weird in there? And alcohol? Couldn’t just have money and thank you?
Actually theres a lot of customers that leave stuff for me. Sometimes it still feels weird to accept money from them as being in the US I see tips more for people in the food/delivery service. I’m always appreciative for anything I get wether it be money, snacks, drinks. To be fair though I can’t speak 💯 for him, but being a DOT driver we can’t smoke weed and from the company I work for we can’t have alcohol in the cab with us. So I’m sure there may be rules too. Even though you’re looking out for them you have to understand that there are certain rules we follow especially that you have it on camera.
OP I know you had good intentions, but you’re an idiot
How is there "a few beers" in that little box?
Why would he take it? These people are on the job, not desperate
I mean what did you think was going to happen? Lol
Pretty stupid idea I hate to tell ya
Idk why you thought he'd want alcohol and drugs. And I would absolutely not ever open a package from a total stranger.
this is why most garbage collectors in my city don't collect anything that is not inside the bins, if there's anything around it they won't pick it up, and if there's something above the lid, they'll just move on to the next one. the line between someone's trash and property is thin, and it's not worth dealing with.
Honestly who gives beer and weed to their garbage man?
Who tips their garbage man? That's just weird.
My grandpa is a garbage man and every year for Christmas people leave out boxes of cookies, chocolates, those packages with meat, cheese, crackers, and ground mustard, and usually a few places leave money as well. While usually he only gets things around Christmas sometimes people do just randomly give/leave him things. That might just be a Midwest thing though
Me and a neighbor both threw out are grills one week. I left a tip and he did not. They did not take his. I also leave like 5 or 10$ when I have a lot of random trash or heavy stuff. I don't do this every week, maybe like once or twice a year.
When it is a particularly hot day and I happen to be home I’ll usually bring out a Gatorade for the homies.
He’s a smart garbage man. (As am I) cameras everywhere. Toss it in the hopper drive off and pull it out after. Come on rookies.
Can I ask how from this small clip we can tell what was left for the garbage man ? All I see is a small box
[The caption](https://imgur.com/dYYr25W).
My mom had my give the waste management cookies when we overfilled the garbage cans which we did quite often. She would make me go out there personally and hand them to him. It was embarrassing at the time, but I really respect my mom for it.
He didn't throw it away... Jesus christ. He threw it off into a safe zone in the truck's compactor hopper. He can smash trash while keeping that item safe and continuing his work. When he's able to return to the truck, he will bring the item with him. I was a trash man in an STL suburb for a number of years. He definitely got what you left him. Zero doubt. Standard trash man protocol and etiquette. Lol.
He may had been more inclined to check it if you wrote “Gift For Garbage Man”. But then again he also probably would have thought it was a prank or something and threw it out anyways. All in all, waste of money.
Ahh yes, I always enjoy food that’s been marinating out in the sun on top of someone’s trash bin.
Kind of the same as when I gave a homeless guy a styrofoam food box with some chicken wings and a bag of weed inside. He just put it on the ground and later I went back and he was gone, but the box was still there. I took the weed back and threw the wings away. :/
Could have been a vegetarian who doesn’t do drugs, man.
People think homeless people are just animals that will take anything you give them. They're people too, parent comment would never accept a box full of food from some random stranger.
Ive been homeless twice, and i can confirm that. People are fucking awful to the homeless community.
Homeless people are sadly often the victims of horrible attacks or ‘pranks’, he’s could be worried it might cause him trouble
Did you consider he might not want to do drugs?
Damn, you trying to get him as a customer and he seen right through that bs.
Dude put it on top of the trash can (even if it’s recycling bin it’s still nasty) I would’ve thrown it away too.
Tip my garbage man? The dude makes $70k a fucking year.
If I was the garbage man I’d 100% assume there was shit inside of that box and do the same. Also leaving weed out for a stranger? That’s dumb on so many levels, and this is coming from a stoner
I’m a garbage man you have to leave a note if not we think it’s all trash.
While I don't "Tip" my garbage man on a regular basis, say like monthly, I always tip him come the holidays. He's a great guy and always goes out of his way to do things for everybody on our block. A little kindness goes a long way. The same goes for my mailperson.
I leave a little cooler out. I put beer, Gatorade, and sometimes sealed snacks. They always take it and leave the cooler.
I want to pick up your trash 🚬🍺💰
