Waste Chuckle

On the weekend I managed to get some yardwork done. Pruning some trees, cleaning up some leaves, mowing the grass, and weedeating. Gorgeous day for it.

By the end of it, my truck was stuffed with waste for the municipal yard. I always line the truck bed with a tarp since it makes unloading much easier.

As I pulled in to the yard there were a few other vehicles there unloading. I backed in to the pile right next to another truck whose owner was unloading some branches. I always back up so the tailgate is over the pile so that the pile doesn’t widen too much.

As I got out of the truck the guy next to me scoffed a little and said I was a little too close. I looked and figured I was just fine. In all of 30 seconds I unloaded my whole truck, packed up the tarp and was ready to leave.

The other guy was still unloading his branches by hand. I wonder if he still thought I was too close? I also wonder if he learned something? I got a good chuckle out of it though.
