Treasure.
I'm not really a hoarder, but I do have hoarding tendencies.
We've thrown trash out and had some stranger pick it up and take it.
It's fine because it was stuff we threw out.
I just think it's neat that people can put trash to good use sometimes.
My aunt threw our old pool out because it had a small hole in it and it was leaking.
Well, we put it on the curb for the trash people to pick up.
Aunt: What's that little boy from nextdoor doing by the trash cans >>
Me: -doesn't see anyone- I don't know u8
Aunt: Well, bye 8u -gets in truck-
Me: -goes back inside- -still sees no one-
Aunt: -calls- Keep an eye out. I think they want the pool but don't want us to see them >>
Me: u8....-opens blinds- -still sees no one- Okay.
Aunt: All right. Bye >>
Me: u8.....-STILL SEES NO ONE- Bye.
Sister: 8u ~
Me: I think she's working too hard and hallucinating Mexicans stealing pools u8
(disclaimer: I am also Mexican and it's a joke)
I tend to hold onto everything because I never want to get rid of something and need it later and I won't have it.
I also have sentimental feelings for most things I own.
How do you feel about trash and treasure?
Have you found something in the trash that you wanted?
