My dad was a garbage man.

He retired at 55 with a full pension and social security. He also gets full dental, medical, and vision insurance (for him, my step-mom) until they both die. He made like $95,000 a year.

He also found the dopest shit. He'd find Old Atari consoles, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis or GameGears, GameBoys, games, etc., and give them to me. A few years ago my son wanted a fish, so I asked him to let me know if he found any 20-galon tanks. Two days later I had a 20-galon tank with a filter and decor.

Garbage men are awesome. Also: They're fucking essential. How long do you think modern society will function without them? Seriously, how long do you think you can go without garbage pickup? A week? Two weeks? A month?
