Years ago I was visiting my parents.
My Father asked me if I wanted a tall metal cabinet .... I said 'NO'
My Father said he would ask his neighbor and if not wanted, put it at the curb.
During my next visit, I heard what happened to the cabinet.
My Father asked his neighbor who replied YES, he wanted it.
After waiting two days for the neighbor to pick it up, my father put it at the curb for trash pickup.
During the night, a garbage picker parked and was loading it up.
The neighbor woke up and hollered out his bedroom window .... HEY, THAT"S MY CABINET, GET OUT OF THERE ! ! !
The garbage picker had some choice words for this neighbor.
The neighbor got dressed and went outside but the garbage picker was gone.
The neighbor then got in his truck and went looking for the garbage picker, who he did find one street over.
The two of them got into a loud argument and woke up the people whos house they were parked in front of.
Those people ended up calling the Police.
The garbage picker ended up with the cabinet.
My Father said to me, How come the neighbor didn't just come and take the cabinet when I asked him.
Side story: This is the same neighbor who ordered a new truck from the dealer.
Instead of waiting for the dealer to notify him to pick it up, the neighbor went to the train-yard unloading-area
where all the new vehicle come into our area.
He did find his truck amongst all the others, but the employees there threatened to call the Police if
he didn't leave.
Sad story: The neighbor ended up drying from CO poisoning.
Bad heater in his garage.
