hey, I got a complaint. I work parttime in a grocery store. we go thru tons of cardboard. my co-workers refuse to put the extra effort in to throw the cardboard one foot further so it reaches the recycle compactor. instead they just put it in the garbage. we have alot of employees and only a handful recycle. people just dont care. that drives me nuts!

This is quite prevalent.

My son noted a few years back that there was a recycling
program at North Kingstown RI HS. He also noted that
the janitors threw it all into one dumpster after collection.

My office cleverly has 2 wastebaskets, one black and
one blue. Lurena, the cleaning lady, puts it all into one bag,
and puts it into the ONE dumpster provided outside by
the company.

This really annoys me as I spend a fair amount of time
and energy separating and recycling every Sunday.
But in the industrial park where I work, I see no paper
recyclying at all, even though there is a state law
mandating business recycling.

And finally, when it comes time to clear out food samples
out of the freezer, I am the only one who cares enough
to take a ride up to RI Food Bank and donate the stuff,
which is perfectly good. My coworkers would just throw it
in the dumpster. Starts to smell pretty good outside as
it only gets picked up once a week and frozen fish doesn't
last too long. The maggots and flies are cool, it seems.
I work with morons.

Ohh gosh, I hate this as well where I work. Or when employees have two pieces of little plastic in a huge cardboard box, and throw it in the garbage because they dont want to take out the two little pieces and then put them in the garbage and the carboard in the recycling. Also the fact that we do not recycle glass, cans or plastic, yet our major thing that gets into the garbage is plastic.

Lastly ablout my job is the damages. All of our damages go into boxes and then these dudes come in and check it off so we get credit for it. But what annoys me is that once they check it off all of it goes in the garbage. So we throw out boxes of dunkaroos per say that are supposed to have 8 in a box, but one is missing so it all goes into the garbage, rather then putting them all into a box neatly then giving the box to homeless shelters. I mean sure it isn't a full box we awould be giving, but the packaged singles would still be packaged and not damaged.

I just thought it was funny; him ranting about people slacking off in school, while he busts his hump and does really well; then spells something wrong.

I don't quite see the humor there, myself. I never said I was a perfect student or anything. I just said that I work harder than them.
 
yeah, i find that the vast majority of people dont give a damn about many important things. recycling is just one of them. I often jump in the compactor and pull the cardboard out and put it in the recycling compactor. ultimately though, i try not to get too stressed about these kind of things. all i can do is what i can do. i cant single-handedly save the world, but i can certainly do my part and be responsible for my actions.
 
I'm just so ANGRY!!! I'm not sure why. ANGRY!!! LOUD NOISES!!! AHHH!!! DO NOT ANGER THE HULK!!!!!!


:D

I got nothing in my life to complain about. Only that I have dated every female that I know. And as we are all teens, repeditive relationships don't happen. I just have to seek out some new female friends:hiding: :ninja: :D ....

I care about important things. I just don't have any of them on my mind right now. Life is quite calm really...

I didn't mean completely hysterical funny; just ironic-funny; the kind that just makes you go "Huh huh. Look at that. Yup..."
Anyway, I just had to make fun of someone else's mistakes 'cause, well, you know...I'm so insecure in my own flaws that I have to bring someone else down to make myself feel better. :bawl:
:p :D
