A Bit Conspicuous

So I just got back from dropping off some of my old computer stuff at Goodwill.

It was not the experience I expected.  I thought maybe I would get a thank you.

What I did not expect was to be berated after hesitating when I was told to just throw my 80 pound CRT monitor into the bin.

“They pull them all apart and just recycle them”, they said.

“But it still works fine”, I said.

“So?  No one uses those old dinosaurs anymore, and I’m not going to be the one pulling that heavy thing out of the bin either.”

Next time I’ll just give my stuff away on Craigslist.  Hopefully then it will actually get some more use, which I thought was the whole point of Goodwill in the first place.
