The dump entrance was chained shut.
Cringle swore and smacked the steering wheel. “I am so sick of this pandemic shit.”
“So now what?”
“This is what. ” He popped the truck into reverse, spattering dirt and gravel against the city’s CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE sign. He slammed the shifter to drive and fishtailed up the rutted road.
Cringle reached down between his legs and pulled up a can of beer, opened it one-handed and gunned it down in one swallow.
He crushed the can and threw it out the window. “Keep your eye peeled for a side road,” he grinned.
Now that’s thinking outside the box!
The title is perfect. What a stellar member of society this guy is.
I must go down to the dump again, to the lonely dump and the sky
and all I ask is a garbage truck and a star to steer her by
So very topical right now. Well… not so much just right now. It’s pretty much always been that way.
Dear Josh,
“We had never heard of a dump being closed on Thanksgiving. So with tears in our eyes…” Now that explains what the refrigerator was doing on the side of the road. Good one.
Shalom,

And the judge wasn’t gonna look at the twenty-seven 8 by 10 colored glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explainin’ what each one was, to be used as evidence against us!
A typical case of blind justice. ;)
That was actually my first thought on seeing the dump closed…
It’s interesting that the pandemic and lockdown has managed to bring out both the very best and the very best in humankind.
Yep, wrong un… I think you got the attitude just right.
Scum bags, the best and worst of humanity is very prevalent in this situation we find ourselves
Takes “Alice’s Restaurant” to a whole new level. Let me guess, there’s a gun rack installed in the truck with a shotgun sitting in it.
Fly tippers are scum of the earth. The title says it all.
They should have dumped the fridge at the gates of the city tip – Then, they might get the message.
I’ll admit I done that once, they closed the gates early without any notice – I wasn’t taking my load of rubbish home – sod them.
It was bad enough before the dumps got closed – heaven help mother nature.
Here’s mine!
One thing I really can’t stand is littering. I just don’t understand why people can’t put the trash in a trash bin. It’s reprehensible and sad that some people could care less about their environment. I bet their homes are trashed too. Nice story!
Well, ya can only half-blame’ em, can ya?
Littering is thick, bad in…better to make money selling scrap
