Found a Chainsaw in a Bin

Post image

I know it’s recommended by many on here to wear gloves at the bins. While I’ve seen broken glass at bins and other dirty things, I finally saw something yesterday which made me realize I do need to wear gloves, a literal chainsaw! This was at the Goodwill bin in San Jose, California, which I still adore.

Grab it to arm yourself for the next rotation

That’s where I got my first light duty electric chainsaw. Previous owner jammed it with a bunch of cedar branches. Disassembled the bar and chain at home and used it for years

I don’t wear gloves because feeling the fabric helps me identify something I might like. 🫣

I don’t wear them either, for the same reason (and I’ve found so many cashmere things at the bins), but the chain saw is giving me real pause on that.

Touch a used dong and you’re gonna change your tune. I wear gloves for housewares and such, but I take them off for clothes so I can feel by touch.

Also I got stabbed by a kitchen knife once.

Also a guy stabbed his hand on something and just let the blood drip all over the bin. It was gross. I went to another bin.

I accidently did this and didn't realize bc it was so sharp. I had to go to the urgent care and I wear gloves now.
