Dumbness Returns: Revenge of the Dumbness

And then there was the day when I received numerous bags of plastic bottle caps.

 Does this person believe they are recycling? What did they do with the bottles? Probably sent them to an actual recycling operation. But they saved the bottle caps separately as though they needed to be recycled through a different process, namely through a clothes recycling effort.


Here's a video to demonstrate the sound of thousands of plastic caps (where available): 


So generous. 




Gesundheit, Elsa.  



 Here's a waste of manufacturing, as evidenced by a person ridding themselves of it:
 We have a thing against single-purpose appliances in our household. Things like this are just clutter. How 'bout you just not leave the dip out as long? Is that so tough?


Here is a returning product, with more elaboration. You may recall a bag declaring "Baby Bullet" from a few posts back. Here's the full product, and yeah, this one's useful.

However, that NAME.
 Y'see using the word bullet has certain connotations and designating that it is to be used on a baby is even more problematic...

...because I DO get those, too.

Oh wow such charitable very amaze

Here are a few examples of how amazingly charitable people can be in their donations. Take a look at this first pair of shoes, which the owner praises as fitting "really good", presuming there is only one size of foot shared by all humans.

 So what could be inside this magical box that makes the contents "fit good" for whoever receives it?
 Why, it's a pair of busted up old boots! Maybe the previous owners fond memories of their better days are somewhere in the box as well!!!
 Note the cracked leather. But they're good with pants!

Here's something real heartwarming. The recipient of this charity solicitation didn't have the heart to keep these six cents for themselves, having been informed that these six cents would "feed a child". So, although it in no way returns these six symbolic cents to that organization, they ripped the envelop in half and gave that portion to us!
 That's uh.... that's not how this works, sir or madam, unfortunately oh but hey...
 ...clearly I have less scruples than you about taking free money.
Believe it or not, not every single person who drops something off into our hundreds of thousands of bins needs to call us and let us know, but thanks for playing!

 

 Here's one I love...
...certainly preferable to the recent time in which I received an actual full carton of eggs!
I believe this was just one of several pieces that were INDIVIDUALLY BAGGED with these notes assuring us of their recent laundering. Very kind, sure, but TOTALLY UNNECESSARY
 Oh, hello again.
 And hello again to you, my new penny and nickel.



 And here is an Apple product some of you may have missed....
 So exciting! It's got the authentic Apple logo! What could it be!??!
 Uhm...
 Apple presents: Green Wax Teeth Moldings! These were much larger than a human sized casting. A few of them also appeared to be on different scales.
Seriously, what? They have these little bases to stand on like they were chess pieces or something. MAYBE they were for arranging in an educational model? But the bases had different depths and shapes, and some of the tooth sizes weren't consistent. What could this possibly have been, and further, WHERE DID THEIR DONOR INTEND FOR THEM TO WIND UP by putting them in an anonymous mystery bin???
 And hey, while we're on the topic of creepy shit...
I mean, at least this human hair wig fills an actual need for someone, theoretically.
