I think the local trash collection employee might be a trump*ster.

I heard the truck pull up in front of the house and saw him staring up the driveway, towards my car, and therefore my bumper sticker (Any Democrat - 2020). A few minutes later I looked out and my trash can was in the road and the lid was WAY up, in the middle of my yard. It's not windy. He had to have done that, on purpose.

Them, salesmen and evangelicals. However, it also notes that Democrats are always welcome.

After he does that crap go up to him, video rolling and ask him if he did it because of Trump.

I had guests, AND cleaned out my freezer and so the trash was a little heavier, this week.

behavior was, and that you hope you will not have to give the video to his supervisor. It will definitely change his behavior, but may also put you and people supporting democrats in a different light. Just getting him fired will only make him more angry against the Democractic party. Its worth a try, and then if he is an ass about it, definitely get him fired.

One week they completely bypassed my trash bags - I had to chase them down the street! The story was it was a new crew that was still 'learning the neighborhood'. Ummm. Ok. I guess.

None the less, I'll put out the trash container, again, next week, and keep an eye on what happens.

They've already broken off one of the wheels and the recycle guys tossed the bin and cracked it so I had to duct tape it, to keep it from completely splitting open.

It isn't even plugged in to anything. No one has cast any political aspersions toward my property since.
