...you could make as much noise as you wanted, you didn't have to dress up, no one could ever accuse you of betraying the dignity of your office, and -- best of all -- you could wave at girls on the sidewalk as the truck drove by them. I'm sure that just made their day!
Laughing! The garbage collectors in the places where I have lived have *loved* to make noise. They make as much as possible.
The hell of it is that these new plastic garbage cans don't work nearly as well for that as the old metal ones did. They can still make noise with the dumpsters tho.
My own favorite job was working at a gas station when I was in college. I had a little fun there. That was back in the olden days when we used to wash windows and check tire pressure. I loved to flirt with the girls.
We had a great old Chevy pickup that we would use to take on calls. It had a wood push thingie on the front. Going on a call was the highlight of my day.
What they do have now and use to great effect is the back-up beepers.
My local trash collectors back down the alley before they start picking up the trash. I have wondered why they do that -- it would be much easier not to. They could just go around the block first
You have explained it. (Still laughing.)
