He had accidentaly thrown away my driver’s license.  
He dug through the dumpster for 15 minutes to find it. He’s in the shower now, and is ssssssooooooooo getting laid tonight.  
I love my boyfriend.

(I really needed it because I have no cash and it’s memorial day weekend. I couldn’t wait until Tuesday.)

So, that was it?, no moonlight dinners on a nice and expensive restaurant?, no boxes of chocolates with half a dozen roses? or calling up to tell her there´s a program on the TV that she´d like, hours of intelectual chatter, etc, etc…

Just jumping into a dumpster…

You know what, I feel I´ve been done. ☹

Heh, the old throw something of hers away and retrieve it from the dumpster on purpose trick. Women are so easy.

When I lived in Las Vegas I employed a bunch of 20-somethings that might politely be refered to as trailer trash. Honest, decent folks, but sorta short on couth.

One day we noticed two people weren’t at their stations, and somebody mentioned a lot of odd noise in the alley behind our office.

Sure enough, he & she were in the dumpster, doin’ the nasty. So I ran in to get everybody to come see. When they finally poked their heads up over the rim, the rest of us nearly died laughing.

Our dumpster happened to be fairly new, and the only trash we ever put in it was shredded office paper, plus whatever went into the bathroom trash cans. So it wasn’t make-you-vomit-gross like the dumpster behind a McD’s, but still …

Most of the crew had nicknames, and hers was instantly changed to “Dumpster-Bunny.” We called him the “Trashman.”

Aaahh, the Good Old Days …

That’s what I was thinking man. I used to work next to a Revco and you wouldn’t _believe_ the shit they threw away.

That was before they switched to CVS and started pouring bleach in the dumpster everytime they threw stuff away :mad".

No, but we do have to have it if we are going to cash a check. (Which I do at the grocery store.)

I couldn’t wait with no cash to get one on Tuesday. It costs 15 dollars for a replacement, but…wait…no cash.

He was a lifesaver.

**torie**  
That is a nice story with a _ **VERY** _ happy ending. I’m glad you shared that with your fellow SDMB’ers.

Plus that was a great expression  
\*He’s in the shower now, and is ssssssooooooooo getting laid tonight. \*

You seem like a great person to know and it seems you like to show your appreciation to others.
