My SIL calls me to ask for help.
His mom has a chest freezer on a back porch that has quit running and wants to take it to the dump.
Problem is they found out the freezer quit running by their sense of smell.
So we get this freezer loaded and headed for the dump.
We are going down a small country road when this old man chases us down.
He wants the freezer for scrap.
I figured one whiff of this freezer and the guy would change his mind.
But no he still wants it.
I tell the guy; Look if you are that poor let me give you $20 cash and
I will take this thing to the dump.
Guy says "NO" I do not want your hand out but I will take the freezer.
I found that very strange especially in this day in age.
OK have it your way.
We back into the guys yard and he instructs us to just let the freezer
flip as we push it out the back of the pickup.
"The coons will clean up the mess"
I about gaged from the smell as the contents poured out onto the ground.
I have pinched pennies many times in my life
But have never been; and hope to never be; that poor.
