[QUOTE="Hintzyboy, post: 5402558, member: 566521"] I'm the one who said they trash guys make good money dumbass. Why should I give a guy a Christmas present for doing a job that pays you a decent wage without requiring an education? The other guy's justification was that they do a crappy job because they pick up trash. I say that's a small price to pay for being able to support your family on a high school diploma. I know my garbage man and mailman, and they both get presents from my family each year. But we give them gifts because they do a good job and are nice people, not because we feel sorry for them. Do I ever want to be a garbage man and handle people's trash? No, and I'm sure that the guys who do it didn't dream of it as kids either. But I made good choices, got good grades, and worked hard to make sure that I could get into a good school and on the path to a good career. I should not feel obligated to pity someone because they made bad decisions and have to pay a minor consequence. There are millions of people out there working jobs they hate, whether blue collar, white collar, or no collar. 99.9% of those people don't get gifts from the people they serve either. My point is that garbage men are not special and should get gifts for the same reason as everyone else, and not for misplaced pity. [/QUOTE]
