Our guys don't even get out of the truck anymore. We have cans that are set with the "front" side facing the street. Then the truck can "grasp them", lift them over the back, bang them up and down a few times and then move on.

Ours are like this, too. They will leave stuff in a heartbeat. They also like to toss our cans all around. :(
The guys who kill me are the recyclers. They always seem to come on rainy days and always leave the top of the can open (our recycle cans are city-supplied and come with attached tops).
We dont put out cans here. We have to use blue city bags, so we have to do the can removal.
Yep that's ours too Mike if a couple of bangs doesn't knock it out, they probably never even see anything left in the can.

Ugh.
Every trash morning his trash bag would be ripped open and trash strewn about the street and sidewalk. Normally, he wouldn't pick it up unless it was egregiously bad. Of course, being a dog owner (and thus a walker) it drove me batshit crazy. Have to make sure the dog doesn't eat any of the random food trash... Have to watch every footstep by his house so I don't track gunk into my house.
BTW, he also never blew his grass clippings out of the sidewalk and never shoveled his snow.
GAH!
(Obv I'm not a fan.)
I sometimes joke about putting a security camera in the fridge at work, so we can find out who the thieves are...
My daughter talks about that where she works. Her flavored coffee creamer and/or half and half apparently become community property.

Yeah, creamer is a commonly swiped item.Though we did have someone who had some frozen hotdogs in the freezer once, and someone actually opened up the package and took half of them.
I guess that's better than taking the whole package?
Maybe a very hungry couple or a family of 4 needed to be fed? That's a hilarious thing to do though.
We have the creamer and salad dressing thing. Our cleaning folks used to raid our fridge, cabinets and the coffee/tea machine, until one day they got caught. The cleaning lady was in there with her head full in the fridge taking leftover pizza from our party when someone walked in. It stopped after that.
Well, the person whose hotdogs they were ended up putting a note on the package for the person to take the rest of them, since they obviously needed them more than she did.But they never got took, after that...

That's crazy.
I used to work with a guy who had his lunch stolen all the time. So he decided to take fish tank water and make ice cubes. He put the ice cubes in closed bag and labelled it and said "DO NOT TOUCH."
Someone stole some anyway.
But he got fired for putting something that could possibly make someone sick in the fridge.

Yeah, that's not even right to fire him. He put a note warning people off.
I agree but they fired him anayway.
We used to have some really hellacious lunch thieves where I used to work. It was so bad. We had a caterer come in 3x a week, and my shift was later, so I would buy my lunch, stick it in the fridge, and then later I'd eat it. Except one day when I bought a sandwich and a salad and came back to find my salad completely gone and my sandwich had a huge bite taken out of it. Apparently they didn't like my choice. I was so mad. >_<
Now I work from home, so there's only one suspect if my lunches go missing now... >_>

Wow. Just...wow.

Til someone gets ambitious and cleans the fridge at work and all your food hits the garbage...
Luckily my office mates generally announce when there's going to be a cleaning.
We allegedly have a cleaning the first Friday of every month, but it's really random. Like, I've seen someone's expired milk not get thrown away, but my unopened applesauce, which was good for another year, get tossed. o_O
LOL!
That was funny. I'm glad I live in a place where my lunch has never been stolen.
Me, too!
...sorry what was that???? I'll get back to you I still have several things to check on line....
lmao!
Cute. I should send the snowman one to my sister - she's obsessed with snowmen.

Not sure if I've posted this one before. Apologies if it's a dupe, but I thought y'all would appreciate it:

Getting ready for football season already.
It's not really an internet funny, but I think it's still appropriate here. ;) I got this "Stupidest Things Ever Said" daily calendar, and today's is:
"Such was Catherine Morland at ten. At fifteen appearances were mending; she began to curl her hair and long for balls."
It took me a few to get what was funny about that...
