Let’s just make that 3 kettles.... digging for meat/food in dumpsters and then eating it will qualify one for that designation.
I'm sure you could imagine such a situation. For example, if one were actually digging, and the substance one dug through were used cat litter and wet, mold covered carpeting; that would seem at least desperate, and possibly a sign of mental health issues.
The problem here, with your contention, is that you're projecting knowledge while making assumptions. It's not uncommon, and not necessarily a sign of insanity so much as ignorance. Ignorance is not the same thing as stupidity, but people who are ignorant are often stupid, too.
I suggest that you would be crazy, ignorant AND stupid to spot a Lenovo ideapad 330-15ikb on the top of an overstuffed dumpster and
not take it home with you. I just happen to be transferring files to one right now, from an ASUS Q304U which I also found this summer. The ASUS was merely near a dumpster, in a box with a nice Lenovo desktop and a separate, large screen ASUS laptop.
Luckily, I am prepared to believe that you
are crazy, ignorant and stupid.
Two days ago,as the temperature hovered around 34 degrees, I spotted a 3lb bag of new potatoes. To the naked eye, it was clear that the bag had never been opened. The owner probably tossed them because s/he freaked out when the eyes started popping out. They'll be good for another month or so.
I would have taken them home even if the bag were half empty, of course. If they're carrying any germs, the FryDaddy will see to that. They're not likely more infected than any other potatoes in the vicinity.
The bag was, yes, in the dumpster. It sat on a tripod formed by two dry corrugated cardboard boxes and one filled tall kitchen garbage bag.
Is it crazier for the buyer to toss potatoes because eyes were sprouting, or for me to retrieve them?
What about the 26 cans of Campbell's soup I found on Thanksgiving Day? I'd say it'd be crazy to
not bring them home, but it would have been stupid if I didn't wash them with soap and water in the kitchen sink.
These people throw out entire fridge/freezers of food, typically in one or two tightly closed plastic bags, but sometimes in the Rubbermaid kitchen garbage can itself. If it's warm, and leaking, I'd recommend you leave it for the raccoons. If it's still cold or frozen, you'd want to know more before rejecting it.
