Rave: One man's trash...

Post by Cronos »

...is now my new very large, very clean, very comfy couch.

Thanks to my neighbors who threw this gem out! It sure was a biatch to get it up three flights of stairs last night, though.

I like free things that save me a lot of money. :D

did you ask them for it or did they put it by the curb and you picked it up? The latter would be awesome.

It was next to the dumpster with a lot of other stuff. It had been there two days. Up for grabs. :cool:

It was sitting in their living room, but the door was open, and that's generally a sign that you can help yourself because they don't want those things anymore.

Several years ago I was living in a second floor apartment complex. Anytime I had something I wanted to get rid of such as lamp, chair, couch, etc., I would put it in the hallway. Whatever the object, it would always be gone within 30 minutes. Saved lots of trips to the dumpster.

Came home one day and had a box with 6 baby rabbits in front of my door. I guess someone knew I had a cat and thought I'd feed them to it. I didn't. Cat actually liked to watch them. I went to PetsMart, bought some of their milk formula and tried to get them big enough to release, but couldn't do it. One of them lived over 2 weeks and that was the best I could do. (Sort of deviated from the trash story...sorry.)
