Hot head

For the first time i found a A**H
I see a couch being tossed out (a recliner ) & its pretty much apart already .I remove the center portion . and start dragging it to car , it's around 7 ft long and a metal base . It's next to my car and a guy comes out from the house says my friends a sheriff and if the couch is still in the street your A** is grass . He takes a picture of my plate & me ( I smile) ( he says cheese to me ) and the couch . I say to him what do you think I am just going to leave it in the street . I said at least the trash men don't have to pick it up now. Guy goes back into house .
If that individual starts any S*** I'm gonna say he told me he is doing a documentary of street pickers for a utube video & I agreed !! thats why I smiled .

Sounds like the guy is a real jerk, decided to give you a hard time right off the bat rather than just talking to you politely to begin with to see what the scoop was.

I can completely understand why someone would come out and make sure you didn't make a mess. I have seen it a number of times in my neighourhood where people will put a pullout couch at the curb with the metal frame inside and by the next morning a discourteous scrapper has come along, ripped the metal out and made a nice mess on the persons lawn, sidewalk and road.

Hope you don't get any more headaches from this **** copper head.

Also I think you handled the situation perfectly, smiled and didn't loose your cool. No sense it turning a minor annoyance into a big pain.

Mabey he would have been nicer if you had asked if you could have the couch

You could be right sometimes people are jerks no matter what you do

I don't feel sorry for this guy.....If he does not want to deal with scrappers haul the couch to the dump or pay someone to haul it off.....I can't stand these lazy people that just drag **** to the curb and then expect someone not to go through it....
