    Scrapping on Way Home from Funeral

    I attended a funeral earlier today and was dressed nicely to attend the event. It was quite hot outside after the funeral and I was getting hungry and decided to go through the drive-thru for lunch at McDonalds. I noticed a construction dumpster in the parking lot, so after finishing my food (eating in my car in the parking lot) I decided to approach the construction crew to ask about looking in the dumpster for scraps. The foreman told me I was welcome, but said there was nothing in there. I decided to go in anyway. I didn't get a whole lot of stuff, but got a little insulated wire and some of the flexible aluminum (aluminum MLC) conduit.

    I got powder from the gypsum board in the dumpster all over my nice pants and hands while getting the scraps. It was nice to find something when they told me I wouldn't find anything.

    Has anyone here scrapped while wearing nice clothes? I know it is not advisable, but I just couldn't help myself!

    I traded in my "Sunday go to meeting clothes" for more practical attire when I left the professional world. If I go to a wedding, funeral, church, etc. I now look for my newest pair of Carharts and an unstained shirt. Both will eventually become everyday clothes so I make the transition a little early if I scrap in them. I have one sport coat, a few bolo ties, and a new pair of Wranglers if I really have to dress up. This wardrobe makes it really simple regardless of where I have to go and I never feel guilty scrapping in them, changing a flat tire, jumping a battery, etc.

    Give back more to this world than we take.

    Articulating my thoughts correctly is something that I have never been able to do and never will be able to do because my brain is set up very differently. I'd rather solve a few maths problems than write various essays. It is in such situations when I have an essay or use this service https://essaywriters.org/ essay writer service . Thanks to this service my essays contain exceptionally unique material.
