Christmas Gift Question...
The garbageman left a Christmas card on my garbage can... Obviously he wants a Christmas present....


He just put his first name so I can't write a check...


If I leave cash in an envelope with the garbage what if he thinks it's garbage and throws it out...

3. Send a card to the trash company.
Mark it "Attn: (first name), collector at (your address)"

That would probably get to him.

5. The garbageman over here is an asshole.
He threw my deer legs, deer head, and deer hide on the ground because it wasn't in a garbage bag. I picked it up and bagged it and put about 60 pounds of sand in the bottom of the garbage can for him the next week.

8. why are you getting the garbage man a christmas gift anyway?
That seems rather odd... They do get paid for their work.
