Who here has eaten out of a dumpster?
 

share your story about what brought you to be eating from a dumpster.

Were you really expecting people to tell you about this?

are you serious? lol

i ate a block from a dumpster..does that count

sure why not? rags to riches stories are inspirational and stories of rags to more rags are pretty funny.

do cum dumpsters count?:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

my gag reflex is kicking in thinking about it. :helpme

I would work at Mcdonalds before that would ever happen

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ...

dont think that would be a pleasant dining experience lol

i was crushed and almost killed by one but never eaten from them

As if they'd hire you at mcdonalds :1orglaugh

I have, But only because it is better than my wifes cooking:)

yeah you should know, since your assistant manager, and you get to see the manager in action as he looks over applicants.

tastes just like it looks...delicious!

Yeah, makes me wonder how many people have walked by a dumpster and reached in to get a leftover sub sandwich.
It also makes me wonder how many people have also, in school, reached under the desh and pulled gum out from underneath it and actually chewed it.
:upsidedow

I've been down in the dumps before but never that down.

I've been drunk as fuck before but never that drunk...

Good times... LOL

i've eaten off of many room service carts in vegas hotel hallways

juicy doesn't allow people in the office when reviewing applications:2 cents:

i was once hitchhiking through neslon bc with a friend when this crazy old hippie popped out of the bushes near the overpass. he gave us a couple oranges, while we all sat down and smoked a bowl. i was broke and hungry as fuck, so i sucked that orange down with ease. haflway through the guy tells us he plucked them from the dumpster behind the grocery store. at first i was like "oh fuck", but then i realizd that there was in fact nothing wrong with that orange at all, an it did have a peel. so whatever!

i'm glad that crazy drifter hooked me up with a perfectly good orange that otherwise would have went to waste now. it made me realize just how much perfectly good food we put to waste while thousands starve. i've seen the bottom of the barrel a couple times. i think more people should lose themselves as a learning experience. i'm glad i did. i appreciate what i do have in life that much more, and i've learnt some of the most important lessons in life this way. some of the wisest and most intelligent people i've ever met are hiding at soup kitchens and living behind dumpsters...

i'd rather sit and have a smoke with some street kids or listen to some whacked out old bum give me his views on life, than wine and dine with some rich asshole any day of the week. don't get me wrong, i don't walk around ating out of garbage cans, i live quite comfortably now, but to someone who is willing to eat out of that garbage can, it could be the difference between life and death...

Wow! interesting question. NO.

I have scabbed, begged, eaten from garbage cans, and atm, have built my world on the very notion of trash. The 10 or so pc's i have found on council trash nights (twice a year) i have rebuilt and in the last 6 months have really aided in me having a real go at the very thing I have been passionate about all my life... I can't say that I have made it, but i do have a string of domain names that are worth more than the $8 reg fee and 4 new sites I have been working very hard on without the motivation of seeing a result just yet. My beleif is greater than ever, because enlightenment is so gratefully accepted in a world of darkness.

YOU'RE THE GUY ON THE STICKER?!?

You guys need to stop bumping this thread.
Your making me hungry.:upsidedow

I once ate at a restuarant I'd equate with a dumpster.

I once ate a cake that was sitting in a bin at a party... Oh hang on, that didn't happen to me it was an episode of Seinfeld.

that is exactly the way i feel too

Thank God cocks dont trigger it. phew hehe :winkwink: Hey get any traffic from Tyra btw?

Technically speaking, yes. I have found a lot of shit people threw away that was easily fixable, which I resold on eBay. Food was then bought with that money -- money that came directly from dumpster diving -- so technically speaking, yes.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh i LITERALLY fell out of my chair laughing at that

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

the best dumpster diving is right at the end of the year on a large university campus. when all the students are moving out of res, diving is supreme. you wouldn't blieve some of the shit people throw away when they're in a rush to get the fuck out of there. especially electronics...

yeah all the time :)

nope never done that. i have to many good friends and family members that would open their doors for me before i ever came to that. fortunately for me ive never been that down and out.

thread of the day.

I would have had to applied for every single job on the planet and then had every family member turn me away (which they wouldn't) before I let that happen to me.

Same here :food-smil02

Dam I just bumped this thread too lol

I got a great retro lamp out of a skip once - I don't think that counts because I didn't eat it.

Theres a growing movement of people who eat out of dumpsters for some kind of political mesage:

They're callled Fregans

I've gone dumpster diving.. but for misc shit lol not food.

Found a whole warehouse tossing out monitors.. saved 6 before it started raining.

Never ate out of a dumpster before but maybe i should try it...lol...:1orglaugh

My problem with this is that their views on life is what put them in the street and hungry. I would much rather sit down and have a good meal with someone that is successful and can give me some insights into how I can make more money and be happier with my life.

I never will under stand the whole mentality that poor is more honest and real than rich.

If you are one of those people that really is wanting to be nice to the world, get bloody stinking rich! Then you will be in a position to make a difference.
