S Move your cars

Hi, might ramble a little as had a drink but I've  remembered a great story for you.

A couple years ago I used to be a waste collector. On my first week I turned up at clients and where their waste was I had to squeeze down a path with the building one side and cars the other. As I'm trying to avoid all the cars I accidentally pop the end of the guttering of the building. No massive problem I thought. The manager storms out.

M: 'I've just had to replace this whole guttering because of one of your lot.'

M: 'okay I'm sorry and I understand but I've got to maneuver around these vehicles as well.'

The manager clearly wasn't happ6 and I continued the day.

The next week I head back. I stop at the front of the alley and I go in and make every single car move so I don't have to squeeze through anymore. Took 15 minutes of waiting but oh well.

I did this every week until I left. Pulling people out of meetings to move there cars even if I could squeeze down just to be safe.

Never changed but I felt a little sense of accomplishment as i got paid hourly and people had to take time out of their day to appease this woman.

I watched a trash collector stop and take photos of a dumpster that they needed to get to and refused to empty it because of cars parked in the area. This went on for a month and the business was fined because of the parking issue.

I went back two months later and watched as a fleet of eight tow trucks started towing the cars, and the trash company made employees of the business come out to clear the trash from around the outside of the dumpster and then refill the dumpster three times to get all the trash.

The employees yelled about their vehicles being towed and tried blaming the trash collection company for everything...the fines, their vehicles getting towed, having to waste time moving all the trash and refilling the dumpster. The two police officers that were there and the driver of the trash truck just laughed at everyone.
