I don't know if the trash man cometh today. But I do know this place is SO nice that sometimes dear people have unrealistic expectations.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

Off the wall comments or expectations is what makes TOTV so entertaining

Maybe......the person simply forgot it's a holiday today.

Or maybe they're from another country that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving today.

I'd say there's "Kool-Ade" that makes people assume notions like some meanies expect "the little guy" to be working on a holiday.

Unrealistic expectations. Maybe. Maybe not. It is always good to have some hope.

The trash collectors are too busy watching football and eating turkey and ham to do their jobs!

On a more serious note-- remember that there are friends and family members of the victims of Jim Jones in Jonestown on TOTV. Jonestown Massacre - The Story of the Jonestown Massacre

They still are rather sensitive about threads that use the "kool aid" analogy.

So nice with all the trash bags sitting at the end of the driveways...

Unrealistic? How about plain ole common sense?

For the record, the paper and the district websites said no collection today....

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving...from a "young" grouch.

I thought all trash collection here occurred on Tuesdays and Fridays. I would assume that, unless that is wrong, trash sitting out today is due to the residents who left the bubble for the holiday weekend.

Different days for different neighborhoods.

Trash pick up in my area of Sanibel is Monday and Thursday. So no pick up for us today. It is no biggie for us as we rarely use the Thursday pick up. Happy Thanksgiving!

Actually, it's not an unreasonable question at all. Some holidays have regular pickup, some don't. Labor Day...regular pickup. Thanksgiving...no pickup. See link.
