  • THE NEVER-ENDING SODA CAN & PENNY DRIVE

    Let me preface this by saying there is nothing greater than being a father and also I haven't returned a can for deposit in almost 15yrs. Here in Oregon, we pay a 5-cent deposit on every can, bottle, water bottle, vitamin water, etc. The idea behind this is to recycle the aluminum and plastic, therefore saving the environment and recycling for reuse. A few years ago I'm assuming, they stopped having the baggers come out and count your cans, give you a slip and then you go inside to redeem it for cash. NOW they have these FUCKING MACHINES that either kick out or shred more cans then they count, forcing you to go to the other machine that does one can or bottle at a time. Also, you have to divide the clear glass from the "colored" glass, WTF!!!!!!

    My daughter is a senior this year and is on the dance team at her high school. She needs to raise $650 for the year, for dance competitions, etc. I have been coined the NAN-MAN, aka DANCE NANNY! I could simply pay the $650 myself, but I'm trying to have my daughter build character, have a sense of responsibility and honor about herself, consequently I'm involved in and coordinate fundraisers. I thought the car washes were a nice PITA (Pain in the Ass), but this fucking SODA POP and CHANGE drive is a MUTHA! Here's where it went all wrong, I posted on facebook what I planned on doing and offered to come pick up cans and pennies prior to the big SATURDAY FUNDRAISER. Welp, this is what happened, I ended up with nearly 4500 cans & bottles to process at one can at a time on two FUCKING MACHINES!!!!!!! Did you read that clearly, ONE CAN AT A TIME, with a 15% can/bottle kick out rate AND 2-3sec read/count/crush rate. Out of the 18 dancers, 2 of them showed up and 1 of those SUCKAS left early to hang out with a shit stain boy I'd like to break in half. So, there's me, unloading H2 load after H2 load and sticking ONE FUCKING CAN in at a time with my daughter using the other working machine. 3hrs into it, my daughter tells me, "Dad, I love you." on the 5th and final hour, the dance team coaches show up to tell me I'm "the greatest." On my face, I smiled and said, "ah shucks, it's nothing ladies...we do it for the kids." Inside, I was saying, "I'M GOING TO BURN THIS MUTHA FUCKA TO THE GROUND, WITH YALL IN IT!"

    Lastly, I have another 1000-1500 cans that were delivered by a friend to help the girls. SO, that's a SHIT LOAD of total cans/bottles....OH almost forgot, I almost had to beat a bum's ass, asking me if I "seen his woman in Hollywood." After 5mins of his bullshit bantar, I told him, I was busy and didn't want to be rude, but I'm really not interest in talking and THEN he said something shitty to me...I turned my 6'4", 280lbs frame around and told him in my best CON-AIR voice, "This type of shit puts me in a foul mood!!! Do you understand?!?!?!?!" I blinked my eyes and he disappeared like Sonic the hedge hog...

    In summary, OOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the fucking cans! I'll never look at them the same again.:D HAHAHAHHAA! I had to get that out...Thanks everyone ;)

        I can relate, just not to the cans lol. I WISH I had cans to deposit one by one! My daughter cheers - the money is outrageous and the fundraisers are nothing but a pain in the ass!

          I know, it was quite the adventure this weekend!

          FB, you're telling me. I hear cheer leading can be closer to $8-10K per year with outfits, travel and so on. I feel for you. I drive an H2 (can't get out of it---nobody wants it) and I think I spent $40 driving, plus my time...good grief yo. Bonding time is priceless.

            It isn't THAT bad. I pay $100 a month for tuition, about $1000 for her account, and then of course hotels, travel, etc. :fight::fight:

            And I drive a gas hog as well :pissed:

            The joy of parenthood :thumup:

                  :rofl:

                  never mind totaling it.

                  take it somewhere like a friends garage preferably out of state. just let it sit there. go back home and report it stolen. just say you woke up and your truck was gone out of the parking lot.

                    with no gap insurance on vehicles older than 3yrs, I still be on the hook for the $12K or so I'm tits up in the mutha. You figure out that dilemma and I'm down.

                            I just read what I wrote yesterday. I'm male and multi-tasking is not in my DNA, consequently, my poor English. I thought you meat heads would understand. :D

                            Anyway, my point was, I'm buried in my vehicle and have no gap coverage through my insurance, nor can I get it. I'm willing to let someone have my ride, "take over payments." LOL!
