drinking soda from the trash...

Evil Pete's picture

On Sunday I was on BART (with my bike) on my way to Concord around 5:20pm.

While at Macarthur Station the only other person on the platform was this hobo looking guy going through the trash for cans & bottles.

Seems there were quite a few..

Then out of the corner of my eye notice is he was not collecting the empty cans & bottles but instead he was collecting the contents of the empty cans & bottles.
He was pouring the ounce or two of left over soda (?) into his own bottle then dropping the empties on the floor and walking away.

Kinda weird, but in my head I hear the sad Incredible Hulk song as he is walking away. That's the Incredible Hulk song from the 70's tv show for all you kids out there.

Odd behavior.I was going to say that he was the bottle to collect the liquid and not make a mess- til I read your last sentence. BTW... not all of the can collectors are bums... There's a retiree aged guy I see at MacArthur collecting cans and bottles... He's nice he says he rides the afternoon one a given line and collects. Funny- I once him putting his booty (figuratively- his literal booty went to the front cab) in the back of a new looking Kings Ranch F150. I say pretty resourceful collecting the let behinds of people breaking the law on BART by drinking on BART (wink- I'm guilty too of taking a swig out of a bottle of pop or water)

And the soda industry would

And the soda industry would have us believe this stuff isn't addictive!
