Today when I was doing some deliveries I noticed that there was somebody throwing away a perfectly good space heater.
- That is what I do for my job.
I’m a delivery driver. Normally I don’t pay attention to people’s trash cans or anything like that, in fact I don’t even look for that but in this case I couldn’t ignore it because of how obvious it was. I was passing by this guy’s house to deliver his package and I noticed that out on the curve he had this really nice looking space here that he had left to be thrown away! At first I wondered if he was maybe having issues with it and if it was working or not, the space heating system not working was the only thing that made sense to me because I couldn’t see why anybody would just throw away a good space here. I delivered the guy’s package and he came over to the door to greet me as I did it. Seeing this as my curiosity got the best of me and I asked him if he was throwing away the nice space heater that he had out on the curb. He told me yes and I asked him if there was anything wrong with it and he told me no. So then I asked him why he was thrown away and he just shrugged his shoulders and said he didn’t want it anymore. I was really surprised so you then asked him if he would mind giving it to me because I’ve been looking for a space heater for forever and it really helped me save some money. He agreed and said I was walking to have it. I was really glad that I asked him. I know some people will see things on the curb and I’ll just take them but I like to ask the owner to be sure it’s just to be on the safe side, besides I don’t want him to think I was going through his trash or items or anything like that.
