So I've lived in a gross ghetto-ass part of Calgary for the last 8 months and I'm moving out on July 1st. So, naturally I've been throwing a lot of stuff in the dumpster outside my condo...

I've noticed a disturbing phenomenon. 80% of the people in my neighborhood walk straight past the dumpster and don't give it a second glance, but then 20% dive right in and start rifling through my trash (including food waste, etc...) and taking stuff (like old clothes, bottles, etc) out of the trash.

Now here's the part where it gets really strange. 100% of those dumpster divers were Asian FAMILIES that live in my complex. Not homeless Asians, my Asian NEIGHBORS. And more disturbing than that: They bring their kids/wives/etc and make a party out of it like it's a freaking garage sale.

Anyone else noticed this? Any Asians on the board want to shed some light on this? Is this acceptable behavior in China, etc...? I actually chased some of them off because it was heebing me out watching them looking at discarded underwear and holding it up to see if it would fit them...

Urgh...


P.S. Don't start with the "that's racist!" stuff, I'm describing a phenomenon that I SAW with my own two eyes, not some racist stereotype.

I've noticed Est Indian neighbors of mine in the past rifting through dumpsters and garbage. Disgusting.

[shuuredawg]

Yeah, it's probably the grossest thing I've ever seen.

Thank God I'm moving to a nice neighborhood near the university.

if i was poor i'd be hogging all the dumpsters too, you'd be suprised the good stuff people throw away!

but for now its thrift shops... they actually have better clothes than dept stores

[PureBreed]

put some poo poo mixed in with your stuff, that'll teach em

[SideofKO]

I've never witnessed asians do it but around here rednecks do it all the time. Do any renecks wish to shed some light on why you have to tend to your beer can garden at 2 in the morning by rummaging through the neighbors recycling bin?

[X The Dude X]

I've had rednecks do that. It's a whole family affair with them too, husband, wife, kids, all going thru the trash and bringing home busted chairs and non-working toasters.

And the wife/mother almost always has a mustache thicker than Mazzagatti's. Pretty gross, hopefully their snatch up a razor from the dumpster one of these days.

put anthrax in ur garbage

[panchosancho]

I just had that happen 2 nights ago.
I saw a mother and her kid digging in my garbage and at first I got pissed like they were stealing my property or something.
Then when I thought about these people having to dig through my garbage I started to feel bad for them.

If I see someone in my cans I am going to Yell.
