Just when you think you have seen it all the homeless man leaves a nice present for you behind the big green multipurpose recycling dumpster. when I say multi purpose i mean MULTI-PURPOSE. My coworker and I were on our clean up day when i noticed a man out of the corner of my eye walk behind the big green dumpster and not appear out the other side for some time. i really didn't think much of it other than he could be dumpster diving or something to haul off to the recycling center itself. My coworker came up to me an hour later and told me otherwise. i followed him to the back of the neon green dumpster where he pointed to a heap of smoldering sheet bigger than any dog could have excreted. as i vomited inside my mouth and punched my coworker at the same time i realized what had transpired. we watched in discuss and true sorrow from that day on the same man come and go and leave a present behind our dumpster like clockwork for the next couple of weeks.
i guess you have to at least admire him for trying to conceal his duties, same line of thinking i suppose as the family dog who will leave a nice present at the back door for ya. the dog thinking :"if i could get outside i know that's where I'm supposed to go, however your work schedule forced me to leave this nice present for you when you got home."the dog thinks again,
"at least i made an effort to get as close to outside as i could."
and for the homeless in our community not taking advantage of the gas stations fine bathroom facilities because like any good patron they would feel obligated to buy something. Having no funds to purchase at least a pack of gum so he figures the great neon steel curtain awaits me. its a trash can for gods sake big enough to conceal me on the other side-- a DUMPSTER!. "i can really climb in it and take a big one, but if i leave one on the wall or base of the dumpster i indeed did my best".
we scratched our heads...IDEA! luckily for the man that keeps on leaving us gifts we are in the medical supplies business! i have a whole warehouse of bed side commodes.. i happen to also have an extra free standing toilet paper dispenser in one of our bathrooms..perfect..before we left that night we positioned the bed side commode behind the dumpster with a fresh roll of toilet paper right next to it and a newspaper for reading material for good measure. the next day when my coworker and i arrived we looked and chuckled at each other. "I bet you a six pack he filled the bed side commode up!" and i bet you a six pack it scared him off!
We were both wrong!
the free standing toilet paper holder with toilet paper, the reading material, and the bed side commode were nowhere in site. GONE.. he took it all, where we do not know.. but are happy to know he has a place to go when nature calls and we don't have to be careful not to step on any unwarranted presents behind our dumpster anymore.
