Some people’s convenience can be the source of others’ inconvenience.

This garbage truck driver shares an experience where it was almost impossible to drive down a path to get to the garbage bins at a particular building.

When the building manager got upset, the driver decided to try a different approach, one that was safer but inconvenienced a lot of people.

Move your cars

A couple of years ago, I used to be a waste collector.

On my first week, I turned up at clients.

Where their waste was, I had to squeeze down a path with the building on one side and cars on 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 was not happy.

The manager storms out.

Manager: “I’ve just had to replace this whole guttering because of one of your lot.”

Me: “Okay, I’m sorry and I understand, but I’ve got to maneuver around these vehicles, as well.”

The manager clearly wasn’t happy, and I continued the day.

This driver made the cars move instead.

The next week, I headed back.

I stopped at the front of the alley, and I went in.

I made every single car move, so I didn’t have to squeeze through anymore.

It took 15 minutes of waiting, but, oh well.

The driver felt a sense of accomplishment.

I did this every week until I left.

Pulling people out of meetings to move their 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.

At least the manager didn’t have a reason to complain again!
