No Garbage Left Behind.

OK. So we all make mistakes. Its a hard job, especially in winter. Just come get my garbage, please.

The garbage men failed to pick up my garbage yesterday.  I came home in the afternoon and it was still on the curb.  Twenty-four hours later it is still there and I am feeling angry.

Was it really an oversight.  Or was it a rebuff?  Maybe it was too far from the curb.  Or maybe it was too jumbled.  Or maybe, since I laid the cans in such a way that they couldn’t blow over, they thought they had already been emptied.

The most aggravation is that there is nobody to complain to until Monday.  That means it probably won’t be picked up until Tuesday.  By then, it will almost be time to do it again.

If there is anything to take away (aside from the garbage) from this experience, it is an awareness of others who feel overlooked or, worse, dumped upon.  I know how you feel, guys!
