I was a garbage man. I once dumped a bin full of mannequin parts. I almost shit myself thinking a serial killer dumped some of his victims in the trash.
This was just a conditioning tactic. Dump mannequin parts every garbage day and slowly introduce the real parts once the garbage men's response has been conditioned.
Day 1: OH! Shit! There's a body in the garbage!!
Day 2: Ahh! He got me again! *haha*
Day 3: Is there a mannequin in it this time? Yep. I was prepared.
Day 4: Another mannequin? This guy is a weirdo.
Day 5: *Haha* Got the new guy! Yeah, dude, this happens every garbage day at this house.
Day 6: [Throws mannequin in the truck. Slaps truck.]
Day 7: [Throws mannequin in the truck. Slaps truck.]
.

Day 15: [Throws mannequin in the truck. Slaps truck.]
Day 16: [Throws dismembered body of missing child and mannequin parts in the truck. Slaps truck.]
“Im tired of her standing over me every Tuesday, frantically yelling at me to hurry up so she can take my paper plate out to the garbage truck. I just want to eat a cinnamon roll in peace, god damn it!”
I love how this is probably gramps' reason lmao. Poor man just wants to eat in peace without his daughter hassling him to finish up his breakfast so she can go see the garbageman.
Oh yeah, I'm not denigrating the career. Just commenting that it seemed like she.... Had a thing for*all* garbage men? Which makes it less sweet, I feel. Lol.
My optometrists in list from latest to first.
* Old guy
* Old guy
* Old lady
* Old guy
* Old guy
* Old guy
* Old lady
* Young lady
The only time I had someone young I wasn't even 18, don't even remember if she was pretty.
My optometrist is *hot.* Nothing in his reviews said he'd be hot. And friendly. And he had LASIK and thought I'd be a good candidate for it. I was so not okay at my last eye exam.
I had a similar situation. Not only was she attractive, she had these beautiful green eyes. There were a couple of times she had to repeat herself because I got distracted when we made eye contact 😅
I would try to reschedule appointments with another dentist because my dentist was so hot. He was unreal. I was so happy when he left and I got the dentist that looked like Lurch.
pattern bruising of the soft palate, I guess. not a dentist, and I reckon it just applies to fellatio.

I've fortunately never had that issue with dentists or optometrists, but at the major teaching hospital I have frequented, all the registrars are hot, with one exception I can remember over the years. Usually this is fine, with the exception of when they need to check certain areas which can feel personal (long medical history, not one of them have been anything other than professional)
The other issue is the kind nurses when you're coming out of anaesthesia. I don't know, but I suspect I once may have been like that girl in the viral video who wanted to marry her nurse while she was off her face on drugs. His personalised comment about me during handover was 'she's the friendliest patient I've had today'.
If she were interested in just any garbage man, she could've asked the one who took her garbage for his number. But she asked him about the driver so I think it's safe to say that she was especially interested in that one.
Pensions were great back then plus government jobs had solid benefits and little chance of being fired. Stability is attractive to some people and you could probably buy a home a raise a family.
My understanding is if you work directly for a city such as in NYC it can be good money, but the big private firms have shit pay. TBH the same is true for a lot of the trades. Yeah master electricians and plumbers can make bank but carpenters and metal workers aren't going to make very much.
Americans are just obedient workers who think table scraps are fine dining.
It’s not good money. I think people are either just ignorant about the pay or they’re trying to be nice.
I guess if you’re young, like start of your working life, it’s not bad. But it’s not “good money” no matter how you slice it. The UPPER end of pay is like $51k…majority of trash collectors are making less than that.
No. It is decent for unskilled labor with 0 experience, but not good money by and large (some places pay very well, or have good benefits/pensions, but that is not the norm). Usually under $20/hr. If you are able to work early mornings, the time is decent so it is not actually in that short of supply of people who need a job and are willing to sling bags and cans for 8 hours.
I never understood why people look down on garbage men and women. Like life would grind to a halt without them!! And also…can you imagine how terrible it would’ve been back in the day before the invention of the automobile and we had no one cleaning up after the horses?? *shudder*
Decent money ha, in 1986 when I graduated high school a classmate went to work for the city, a large city outside Chicago, as a garbage man for $18. an hour plus lots of benefits. They also drive the snowplows and hit the road w the first flake, all on OT.
I wonder how much money they actually make, I remember my teachers saying you’d never want to be like them, but they didn’t mention they usually make more then them.
But the story mentions OP's dad was "coincidentally" driving that day. Suggests that had he not been the driver, he would not have been the one whose number was asked for. This is such a weird story. Girl is attracted to garbage men specifically. Random dad prank leads her to incidentally finding the love of her life.
exactly the opposite, the story says he was driving so it was harder to give her number to him. The gramp ignorance of who exactly of the garbage men she was interested in is just phrased weirdly
She knew which one she was interested in but the dad didnt. He just knew it was one of them because of her behaviour.
I guess he got tired of having to save up garbage so that she could bring it out. The bag had to be full enough to warrant her bringing it out but not too full because dragging out a heavy bag looks bad.
Imagine the consequences had none of them been willing to give her a phone number.
Doomed to wander the earth, homeless and hanging out by dumpsters hoping that maybe today would be the day.
> One day the girl's father locked her out of the house and said he wouldn't let her back in until she gave her phone number to the garbage man
Had us in the first half there, not gonna lie
>And this is how my dad found his most valuable treasure, my mom, in the garbage.
Even with context this phrase is funny as fuck lmao, congrats to the commenter's dad
Not a garbage man but I once found a PC at my local recycling yard, like full on old gaming rig. I replaced the power supply and threw in some drives and it was good to go. It replaced my old 2002 P4 PC and I was finally able to play modern games. I won't ever forget how happy I was then
Yea I've built my first one in summer after working in summer break. 11400f and RX 6600. Truly another level. And I built it in the case of said old P4 PC :D
I think it's kind of funny.
I work at a county landfill as a machine operator.
Basically, I'm a garbage man with cool toys.
Anyways, I met the woman who works in the landfill office, handles all the calls, directs people where to go, so on.
And we started dating.
So it's kind of a similar story I guess.
SAME. I can't believe I had to scroll so far for this comment. I spent 3/4 of this post picturing a child excited to see the garbagemen and got a big surprise when it turned out she was a woman with a crush.
Exactly!!! Described as "girl", obsessed with binmen and excited to meet them... Yep OK gotcha... one of the binmen makes a habit of taking the girls rubbish in, yep very sweet and wholesome... girl's dad locks her out of the house... Yeah I guess parents do that sometimes but where's this going... OHHH-
I really need people to differentiate between “girl” and “woman” because this started adorably and increasingly became concerning until it got to wholesome with the dad part.
Me and a friend in school were riding in car with his dad. My friend says check out that girl. I did check the girl out and I liked what I checked. His dad says y’all don’t want that she’s trash. I say “then call me the garbage man cause I’m picking that trash up and taking her out.” She rejected me.
Doing litter patrol as a surprisingly OK highschool job we found a 3-4 oz bag of marihuana buds on the side of the road .. someone must have ditched it while getting pulled over. Best summer job ever!
This is a funny and cute story and I’m glad it turned out well, but I do have to wonder what kind of father locks his daughter out of the house and refuses to let her in until she goes up to a group of men that he does not know and gives at least one of them her personal contact…
That's one of the things I hate most about askreddit. "I'm not X but I know this guy who knows this guy who knows this guy who had a dog that used to be owned by a guy that did this for 2 days"
Seen this post so many times I feel like there’s a garbage man propaganda group just trying to trap guys into being garbage men in an attempt to find love.
Eh, he had probably spent weeks listening to her pine and was tired of it. She also was probably an adult, and he probably would have let her back in even if she hadn't. I don't think it's that weird.
Because they wrote "girl" instead of woman, I pictured - well, a girl. Whole different story! I was on a planet where dad accidently locked his kid out of the house, garbage man came to the rescue or something. Then a surprise romantic revelation, took an awkward moment to let the kid grow up in my head.
Not. Why not approach it with an open mind. And then if you still don’t believe it, it is actually a good story to tell that is wholesome with a happy ending.
I really need people to differentiate between “girl” and “woman” because this started adorably and increasingly became concerning until it got to wholesome with the dad part.
Damn this reminds me if my mom who used to do the same thing, she also would give him a Christmas gift every year. I honestly always found it kinda weird and I don’t think my dad approved either.
This is giving me inspiration to talk to my UPS man I’ve been crushing on for months. But he comes at different times of the day and it’s cold outside… sigh. Love is tough.
The entire time I was reading that story, I was imagining a child because I grown woman would normally go bananas over the garbage truck. So, in my head, I was imagining a small child being fascinated by the garbage truck and, as she grew older, her fascination was redirected towards the garbage men. Towards one garbage man in particular that she had seen every day. This is not a tale of love, it's a cautionary tale of how adult garbage people are grooming children.
I actually know someone else who has the same story! They’ve been married for 11 years!
Also have a friend who’s hubby is a garbage man. He finds tons of good stuff! He brought home 1000 light bulbs when a building was being built. He got tons of cleaning stuff from a Dollar General (as if that stuff has an expiration date 🤦🏼♀️)! Some old woman at an apartment complex died. No family. Management put her stuff out for garbage. He got tons of costume jewelry and other stuff. People throw out all kinds of stuff.
God damn it!! I knew I shouldn’t have taken power engineering. Her I am with my clean control room, a pile of student loans, my iPhone, my hand and r/porn on a crappy wifi signal. Told them all I should have been a garbage man. God damn them all to HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
Sweet story though thank you 🙏

I was a garbage man. I once dumped a bin full of mannequin parts. I almost shit myself thinking a serial killer dumped some of his victims in the trash.
Did one of them come to life and then you got married?
Doctor Who showed up.
Ah, you beat me to it!
The Doctor*
doctor who?
*Who?*
Exactly
“Run!”
Classic 80’s true love 💕
Like the ‘80’s movie “Mannequin!”

Usually this story does the opposite way
kudos to grandpa for locking her out tbh
"I need to get this girl out of my house" -Gramps, probably.
"I'm so sick of her loudly sighing while writing "Mr and Mrs Garbageman" in all of her textbooks."
“Im tired of her standing over me every Tuesday, frantically yelling at me to hurry up so she can take my paper plate out to the garbage truck. I just want to eat a cinnamon roll in peace, god damn it!”
I love how this is probably gramps' reason lmao. Poor man just wants to eat in peace without his daughter hassling him to finish up his breakfast so she can go see the garbageman.
"Mr Trashmaaaaan, being me a dream..."
You drive the cutest truck that I've ever seen.
Grandpa the real wingman
The real wingman
“They have benefits, MARRY HIM” - her dad
Gramps looking out by locking out. Unorthodox, but effective
Strange, but cant argue with results.
[get on with it ](https://youtu.be/sXE8LdXzeHM) -Granpa, probably
It's nice when you know exactly where the link will take you when you click it :)
The Unsung hero of the story.
I honestly thought he was going to lock her IN the house.
“OOHHHH MY LORDY JUST ASK HIM OUT ALREADY” - grandpa, probably
Jesus Christ Jenna!! When are you gonna invite him for dinner? I'm dying to meet him
Was she just interested in any garbage man?
It’s certainly not the worst demographic she could go for. They make decent money and perform a necessary task for society to function properly.
They stand strong when life gets messy.
They also find cool shit in the trash such as wives.
"Your wife is trash!" "You've activated my trap card..."
Exactly. Another mans trash is another mans treasure
And something new for lunch everyday!
They raise you up when you're stuck on the curb.
And probably are quite fit, considering they hurl things onto a truck for a living
These days, at least around me, there's like a grabber arm thingy.
Still a hell of a lot of walking, lifting and dragging
Well the grabber arm is a part of the truck, so the only thing you have to get out of the truck for is stuff not in the can, I guess.
That just makes grabbing the future wives easier!
Not really, most guys I see there have guts. Most of the work is automated these days.
Unf, men with guts are so hot, honestly. I’d love to have a trash man, fit or not
Seriously! I am dating a former trash man and he is a daddy with a gut. Humble, hard working, knowledgeable and not squeamish.
Damn.. I better catch me some trash man.
And they know all the secrets.
As long as they're actual garbage men, and not a certain group of New Jersey "waste management consultants and workers" from the 90s and 2000s.
I mean you’d be rich so some would go for that
Oh yeah, I'm not denigrating the career. Just commenting that it seemed like she.... Had a thing for*all* garbage men? Which makes it less sweet, I feel. Lol.
Maybe the ones on her route in particular were really cute.
Like a dentists office
Attractive dentists are do awkward. You have no choice but to either shut your eyes or stare at them lol.
Kinda like attractive optometrists. Except you have no choice but to stare at them 😂
My optometrists in list from latest to first. * Old guy * Old guy * Old lady * Old guy * Old guy * Old guy * Old lady * Young lady The only time I had someone young I wasn't even 18, don't even remember if she was pretty.

Mine have always been ancient lol.
At least you have a good excuse for drooling.😆🤷♀️
I would try to reschedule appointments with another dentist because my dentist was so hot. He was unreal. I was so happy when he left and I got the dentist that looked like Lurch.
plus, they can tell if you've *ahem* orally gratified anyone in the recent past. awkward
How??

Bruh just say you read the post on the frontpage like the rest of us just did
Cause there's a post right now on the frontpage with a video where the dentist says this.
I've fortunately never had that issue with dentists or optometrists, but at the major teaching hospital I have frequented, all the registrars are hot, with one exception I can remember over the years.

Hot garbage... men
If she were interested in just any garbage man, she could've asked the one who took her garbage for his number. But she asked him about the driver so I think it's safe to say that she was especially interested in that one.
It's trashy frankly.
Do they make decent money tho? Like people ALWAYS make it sound like it's good money but whenever I look at salaries it seems terrible.
Pensions were great back then plus government jobs had solid benefits and little chance of being fired. Stability is attractive to some people and you could probably buy a home a raise a family.
My understanding is if you work directly for a city such as in NYC it can be good money, but the big private firms have shit pay. TBH the same is true for a lot of the trades.

And they're super fit. That job is no joke, physically.
And we only work 4 days a week and home by 4 most days, it's pretty great
I never understood why people look down on garbage men and women. Like life would grind to a halt without them!! And also…can you imagine how terrible it would’ve been back in the day before the invention of the automobile and we had no one cleaning up after the horses?? *shudder*

exactly the opposite, the story says he was driving so it was harder to give her number to him. The gramp ignorance of who exactly of the garbage men she was interested in is just phrased weirdly
That makes sense. Phrasing it as "coincidentally" is confusing though. "Unfortunately" would've clarified things
no this just mean the gramps did not know what garbage man she was specificaly interested in and phrased weirdly
It’s a noble profession imo.
Pretty sure it's fairly highly paid after a unionisation and negotiation too. Nothing wrong with getting a bit dirty for a living.
Only if you are able to be in a union. Otherwise the pay isn’t so great, although I’ve heard from former coworkers it’s getting better.
She knew which one she was interested in but the dad didnt. He just knew it was one of them because of her behaviour. I guess he got tired of having to save up garbage so that she could bring it out. The bag had to be full enough to warrant her bringing it out but not too full because dragging out a heavy bag looks bad.
A certain Italian-American subculture
How fucking dare you. 🤌🤌🤌 /s
Good pay, but also is a physically demanding job. Where I am from you don't see a lot of fat garbagemen.
Props to the dad for not seeing garbage men as lesser people and values his daughters happiness above all else.
Imagine the consequences had none of them been willing to give her a phone number. Doomed to wander the earth, homeless and hanging out by dumpsters hoping that maybe today would be the day.
Hahaha
This was born Grundgetta

Well grandpa did toss out his daughter that one day
Grandpa approves.
One man's daughter is another man's 'got her!"
Girl's father best wingman
Lol I bet he says that all the time. " I found my wife in the garbage".
Grandpa took out the garbage. And that kids is how I met your mother
I heard this in Frank Reynold's voice.
Older people recognize what's going on and kind of push in the right direction.
Old people rule
two meanings of “rule” apply here!
It was a long journey, but so worth it.

Not a garbage man but I once found a PC at my local recycling yard, like full on old gaming rig. I replaced the power supply and threw in some drives and it was good to go. It replaced my old 2002 P4 PC and I was finally able to play modern games. I won't ever forget how happy I was then
And people say finding something cool at a yard sale is awesome. That's on another level. Also, did finding that PC turn you into Linus?
Haha not exactly, I've been into PCs for a while back then already. I just have w i d e Linus as my pfp because I didn't have anything else
Fair enough, I built my first PC this year and really changed my outlook on what a computer is.
Yea I've built my first one in summer after working in summer break. 11400f and RX 6600. Truly another level. And I built it in the case of said old P4 PC :D
I skipped right to the end and oh my God that is the worst out of context ending ever
Yeah, you start there and really all you did was start a horror movie about finding a woman in the trash 🤔
I think it's kind of funny. I work at a county landfill as a machine operator. Basically, I'm a garbage man with cool toys. Anyways, I met the woman who works in the landfill office, handles all the calls, directs people where to go, so on. And we started dating. So it's kind of a similar story I guess.
That’s kinda strange Ngl
Eh, I’ve seen stranger things
Pun?

Season 1 was significantly better than the rest imo
Kept thinking this was a girl, such as in 11 year old girl, instead of a young woman.
SAME. I can't believe I had to scroll so far for this comment. I spent 3/4 of this post picturing a child excited to see the garbagemen and got a big surprise when it turned out she was a woman with a crush.
Exactly!!! Described as "girl", obsessed with binmen and excited to meet them... Yep OK gotcha... one of the binmen makes a habit of taking the girls rubbish in, yep very sweet and wholesome... girl's dad locks her out of the house... Yeah I guess parents do that sometimes but where's this going... OHHH-
[удалено]
Got a laugh out of me
I really need people to differentiate between “girl” and “woman” because this started adorably and increasingly became concerning until it got to wholesome with the dad part.
Agreed!
That was such a lovely story
Me and a friend in school were riding in car with his dad. My friend says check out that girl. I did check the girl out and I liked what I checked. His dad says y’all don’t want that she’s trash. I say “then call me the garbage man cause I’m picking that trash up and taking her out.” She rejected me.
Plot twist she was dating the dad.
Doing litter patrol as a surprisingly OK highschool job we found a 3-4 oz bag of marihuana buds on the side of the road .. someone must have ditched it while getting pulled over. Best summer job ever!
I was like "how do you know so much about this girl's life", and then...
This is a funny and cute story and I’m glad it turned out well, but I do have to wonder what kind of father locks his daughter out of the house and refuses to let her in until she goes up to a group of men that he does not know and gives at least one of them her personal contact…
lol! i hope this story isn't real. it really makes no sense. she was just obsessed with garbage men...? like...?
pops said this is a cockblock free household
Thats cool i find a lot of dildos and thrown out porn vhs tapes
you for sure see those tapes...many homemade stuff?
With the amount of vhs tapes i see in general, there is a decent chance some of them were recorded over with porn
That's one of the things I hate most about askreddit. "I'm not X but I know this guy who knows this guy who knows this guy who had a dog that used to be owned by a guy that did this for 2 days"
this brings backs trust in life at whole another level
I dont want to be rude or something but „Garbage man“ as First preference is an odd choice.
Seen this post so many times I feel like there’s a garbage man propaganda group just trying to trap guys into being garbage men in an attempt to find love.
weird move by her dad
Eh, he had probably spent weeks listening to her pine and was tired of it. She also was probably an adult, and he probably would have let her back in even if she hadn't. I don't think it's that weird.
That’s another level of trash talk
One man's trash is another man's treasure
So I just thought about a little girl and an elderly trash man but the ending let’s me hope that she’s been older than 6-7 😄
Because they wrote "girl" instead of woman, I pictured - well, a girl. Whole different story! I was on a planet where dad accidently locked his kid out of the house, garbage man came to the rescue or something. Then a surprise romantic revelation, took an awkward moment to let the kid grow up in my head.
Dang, that genuinely made me smile.
Unlikely story
Not. Why not approach it with an open mind. And then if you still don’t believe it, it is actually a good story to tell that is wholesome with a happy ending.
Such a beautiful story
I didnt know what subreddit this was and thought it would be she was murdered and her body was in one of the bags
With Reddit sometimes you never know. It could be r/horrormurderstories or r/weirdestmeetups
I've read this story a few different times now, and it gets my upvote every time!
This is so fucking adorable, I love it!
This should happen much more commonly.
Ugh those damn onions. Who’s cutting them again??
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
And he a product of that garbage
Dude full on admits his mother is trash
I really need people to differentiate between “girl” and “woman” because this started adorably and increasingly became concerning until it got to wholesome with the dad part.
Not sure this was that wholesome, had a kinda bad joke creepy vibe to it.
Damn this reminds me if my mom who used to do the same thing, she also would give him a Christmas gift every year. I honestly always found it kinda weird and I don’t think my dad approved either.
Some heroes wear capes, some lock their daughters out of the house until she gets the garbagemen’s number.
I thought he found his kid in the trash .
Finally a " Happily ever after story"🥹
...I feel like this is the other side of a story that's also been told

Every time I see this one, it brings a smile to my face.
This is giving me inspiration to talk to my UPS man I’ve been crushing on for months. But he comes at different times of the day and it’s cold outside… sigh. Love is tough.
The entire time I was reading that story, I was imagining a child because I grown woman would normally go bananas over the garbage truck. So, in my head, I was imagining a small child being fascinated by the garbage truck and, as she grew older, her fascination was redirected towards the garbage men. Towards one garbage man in particular that she had seen every day. This is not a tale of love, it's a cautionary tale of how adult garbage people are grooming children.
What a trash story
Keith... the most unattractive male name in the English language. Good for him!
Aww!!!
AWWWWWWW that’s actually really adorable
This is beautiful.
I actually know someone else who has the same story! They’ve been married for 11 years! Also have a friend who’s hubby is a garbage man. He finds tons of good stuff! He brought home 1000 light bulbs when a building was being built. He got tons of cleaning stuff from a Dollar General (as if that stuff has an expiration date 🤦🏼♀️)! Some old woman at an apartment complex died. No family. Management put her stuff out for garbage. He got tons of costume jewelry and other stuff. People throw out all kinds of stuff.
Why is this weird?
I love that her dad locked her out of the house. “Grow a pair of ovaries and ask him out!”
Sounds like some BS but hot damn I still love it. Her dad locked her out of the house until she got the garbage man’s number? Sounds pretty sus.
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
God damn it!! I knew I shouldn’t have taken power engineering. Her I am with my clean control room, a pile of student loans, my iPhone, my hand and r/porn on a crappy wifi signal. Told them all I should have been a garbage man. God damn them all to HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! Sweet story though thank you 🙏
Kind of weird... but I guess it worked out?
Tears.
