ooh ooh that smell

[treemandan]

So PD, you got these cans that can't be lifted to dump them out. How do you get the trash out of them?

 

[pdqdl]

... I know I would have yakked and I would have snorted bleach afterwards to get the smell out of my nostrils.

I'll admit that it ranks among the very worst of my olfactory experiences.

It doesn't help that all the juices got all over my clothes as I tossed it in the truck, and then I got to keep smelling it all day long. After a few minutes...you kinda get used to it, except after some whiffs of fresh air.

Hands, baby. Nothing better than hands. We have tried all kinds of scoops and shovels, but usually just your hands.

The bad part is that the 55 gal trash can liners (plastic bags) that we take out routinely get stolen by the thugs and homeless along the bus line. So we tear the bags, and tie them onto the retaining ring inside the can. It really slows down the job to "dig out" 30 gallons of trash, so we do our best to make sure the can liners stay in place. Many locations have NEVER had the can liner in it a week later, so we don't even install one at those spots.

You can't do that wearing gloves, so everybody that has ever stuck to the job just does it bare handed. Kinda gross, but you get used to it. I have even gotten good at digging through piles of nasty goo mixed with broken glass, and I never cut my hands, either.

Fortunately, I have the same guy on the trash route for about 4 years now, and he keeps me from getting dirty on that side of my business.


When I got this contract, it was quite a revelation to discover how many people will steal a used, dirty trash bag with a torn top.

I had 2 guys that I used to work with that were always fighting and messing with each other. It got to the point that the one found a dead carp about 2 foot long on the side of the creek with no head. he placed it in the others glove box of his black truck with black interior that was at the shop waiting to be fixed for 2 months. This thing started to smell so bad magots were dripping out of the box it looked like a bowl of rice on the floor. The local sherrif thought that their was a dead body in the dumpster cause of the smell. The best part was that he told the other guy how he played this great prank on this guy that he knew and how he was the biggest ass in the world. So when he finnally realized he was the ass those two went at it.

My truck just snapped the main E brake cable which got hung up in the front driveshaft. I was backing across a lawn and thought it was a stick up in there. I finally got out to look and when I pulled on the cable it burnt my fingers.

No and yes. The slogan on my cards says " look out! were comin through!" Hence the front axle on the truck. If you work around here and don't have 4x4 I feel sorry for you. You gonna need that low lock or yer gonna need some mexicans and to use a friction saver to lower one ####ed tree from the next is way beyond me. Out here we are stone.

You make me laugh when I drink beer! I think you should go on " Last Comic Standing". You would totally win!

Funny, that is what my shrink says. But I tell her I am not joking, we are coming through! Stand back.

Now of course I bring the essentials: bag of grass... seed, fluff up the matted grass where the trucks have been, usually I can find a place to dig up soil around the property to fill in the holes but if not I'll get some... but yeah, if you have a yard I am driving over it. If its to wet I'll wait til next week.

I would be a comic but its all been said before and that kind of crap really ain't what one would call work.

No, no I really don't but thanks anyway bubba.

I have been wanting to put a line lock in that dump truck for years. Look back at the jobs I do and you will know why. Plus, when I park it I have to jump out real fast and chock it cause most times I am all alone.
The cable ain't no big deal, it didn't hold the truck anyway. I can pop another one in but what I really want is to be able to lock that SOB right in the spot I leave it.

Everynight with the air compressor I give everything a quick blow off with the air nozzle. Makes a big difference in daily performance especially on these humid days.

thats right. alittle blow job at the end of a hard day is great! especially when your wife has a new swimsuit!!!

 

[WesternSaw]

Wow!

Sorry, but my wife came home and showed me her new swimsuit... so that accounts for the last 2 minutes

Okay it seems like the best thing in this thread has been sorely overlooked by you fellas.Treeman where's the pictures of the wife and the swimsuit.LOL!

Also I have done some pretty ugly jobs when I worked in the meat business let me tell ya fellas.If you want some relief when handling smelly situations try putting a little Vicks Vapo Rub on your upper lip.

I'll second the first part and the 2nd part works pretty good in the morgue too.
