Your trash rental...

Ok, I know it's been a LONG TIME. I have no excuse...well is being pregnant an excuse? I didn't think so...but of course SOMETHING happens to just totally inspire me. Truth be told, something happened that would be a crime NOT to blog. So here we go...

The Monday after Thanksgiving, my trash guys failed to pick up the trash. Now this wouldn't seem so abnormal if hubby and I didn't just see the owner's son over the weekend. He sat and talked with us for a half hour about having kids and living in the area. Then we gave him a check for SIX MONTHS of trash removal. I thought it odd, then figured the guys probably took and extra day off for the holiday. I knew they would come Thursday (the company has been in business for 40 years and while they have their quirky way of doing things, I know they always pick up the trash...eventually).

So flash to the following Monday. Thursday's trash had been collected (as I figured) and the trash was out waiting for Monday's pick up. I was on the phone with my friend Schmack. While I was talking to her, I see a truck pull up. I didn't recognize this truck, but I recognized the men coming out as the owner's sons coming out to collect the trash. As I squinted for a closer look I noticed something that made me laugh out loud.

The trash guys were picking up the trash in a Hertz rent-a-truck. No lie, I can't make this up!!! So I guess that explains why the trash wasn't picked up the previous Monday...their truck of 40 years finally bit it and now they are using rent a trucks to pick up the trash until it's fixed or they can afford a new one. Mind you, that week it was a Hertz rent-a-truck, last week it was a U-Haul. Who knows what they'll use the pick up my trash in this week.

I still love the trash guys...with all my heart...the crazy men...
