Now, Cobb said, she is angry with the company and will consult an attorney.

I came inches away from having no life," said Cobb, 38.

If you are dumpster diving for cans, you are pretty close to having no life to start with...

[Sax]

It's also unwise to crawl into coffins that are on the conveyor belt heading into the crematorium's furnace.

The driver should sue her for infliction of emotional distress.

[IndyInVa]

Based on the information in the story, it sounds like the company ought to sue HER, for trespassing and causing emotional trauma to the workers.

I'm emotionally upset.

Is there another kind of upset that I'm not aware of?

"I'm on disability because of my back, and I can't even do my physical therapy." Cobb said she is unemployed because of her bad back and lives with a boyfriend.

So her back's so bad she can't work, but she can climb into dumpsters? Yeah, right. She's going to regret the decision to take this to court, because by the time she loses her claim against Waste Management, there'll be plenty of evidence on the record to yank her "disability" checks too.

"I came inches away from having no life,..."

I have no life, and I've never gone dumpster-diving.

[Fido969]

She'll sue for lost wages.

... Wait a minute......

Legally, any recycleable products in the dumpster become Waste Management's property the moment they are placed in the dumpster. What she was doing was theft. If she opened the dumpster up in order climb in, she also committed burglary.

She also ignored the safety warnings on the dumpster by going inside. But somehow I got a feeling that she'll get some shyster that will claim that Waste Management "knew or should have known" that there was a danger that somebody might be dumpster-diving, and was negligent for not checking first before they emptied the dumpster into the truck.

[DocRock]

If she gets a huge settlement, I'll crawl in a dumpster and wait for the trash truck myself. Just Kidding

[Kenton]

"I came inches away from having no life," said Cobb, 38.

Oh, hon, I got news for you. You don't have a life to begin with.

[theDentist]

"I'm very upset. I'm emotionally upset."

She's about to be able to buy a dozen dumpsters of her own.

[reagan_fanatic]

I'll bet she's collected enough cans to hire a hotshot lawyer.

[Servant of the 9]

"They (doctors) say it's only sprained, but I think it's broken," said Cobb.

Riiight, obviously an experienced scam artist.

"I'm on disability because of my back, and I can't even do my physical therapy."
Cobb said she is unemployed because of her bad back and lives with a boyfriend. She said she does not collect cans often, unless she needs extra cash for gas.

Too disabled to work, but her back is strong enough to dumpster dive.
Sounds like insurance fraud to me.

Just a thought, if you knew Dick Durbin was in the dumpster and the trash truck arrived to empty it....would you tell the driver about the special trash in said dumpster?

My favorite Boot Camp myth was the story about the Airman and the WAC getting caught "making it" in a dumpster.
