me: I guess I didn’t notice
neighbor: do you ever even look around when you come outside
me: uh
neighbor: did you see all that trash
me: I don’t remember. Did he put it out for garbage collection
neighbor: finally
me: that’s good that they took it
neighbor: that’s why we pay taxes!
me: some cities don’t take oversized garbage for free
neighbor: they just leave it on the road?!?!?
me: most places will charge a penalty if they catch you dumping large items on the side walk
neighbor (with sarcastic disgust- slow southern drawl): most places!
me: catch you later
neighbor: later
