Dump Rage!



If there is one place that I go almost every week were people piss me off the most it is the recycling center, or as I refer to it,the dump. Now I would say on the whole most people follow the rules there. But there is this small band of miscreants who are marching to a different drummer. Now I, being a person that likes order, sometimes, can get it though my pea brain that these rules and regulations are put in place for a good reason. To help everyone, Joe and Jane lunch pale,and also the dump guys. But some people think that the rules don't apply to them,"oh, I'm a big cheese, these rules are just for the plebeians not for me". I tells ya I just want to smack someone. But the two things that piss me of the most are;
1.Not breaking down the cardboard.
2.Stopping in the right lane when dropping off your garbage bags to place them into the hopper, rather than waiting your turn in the left lane (the correct lane!)
Now, I know this sounds kind of nutty on my part, that this so offends me, but let me explain. About the cardboard. I spend many hours smashing and cutting boxes to recycle,sometimes cutting myself, getting paper cuts and in some cases putting my hand into some unknown goop that I don't know what or where it came from. It is disgusting. I do this because this will make life a little easier for the dump guys. Plus it is written on the dumpster . "PLEASE BREAK DOWN THE CARDBOARD. SIGNED THE DUMP GUYS." Now it can't get any plainer than that. But noooooooooo, "I don't have to break these down because I am special". I just want to point my goo encrusted, bleeding fingers and say" Shame on you, you-no-breaking-down-not-caring-about-the-dump-guys-can't-read-the-stupid-sign-asshole. I don't like you! Now I feel better.

The last problem, is that people don't pay any attention to the sign for the trash hopper that says, left lane to drop off trash, right lane thur traffic. Now what is that, a different language? These people say "Noooooooooooooooo I can't wait in the proper line because I'm in a hurry". "I have to get back to the lab,I'm working on a experiment to make puppy's less cute,or "I have no time I'm working on my genetic experiment to eliminate one cheek on the behind. I call it the a half ass experiment". While I just sit in the left lane and wait my turn like the follower of rules that I am. Secure that I am adding order to this world. Why just last week I almost got into a fist fight with a right lane person. She was just lucky that she was going to her 100th birthday party or I would have taken her walker and thrown it right into the hopper. So please people lets have order, even at the dump.
