Could you be with someone who works in waste management?

Question

You came across one of those people others talk about. The instant connection. Feel like you could trust to tell them anything. Then you find out they collect trash for a living. Do you follow your heart? Or do you keep searching?

When driving past a trash truck once I randomly declared that I wanted to do that job when I grew up. “Oh, really?” I believe was the response from the drivers seat at the time.
The truck looked fun to a tot. Then I developed OCD in 4th grade, by the end of high school squashed it with New Years resolutions. I know by my early twenties if my men had been in maintenance I still would have fallen just as hard.

My job as Principal Engineer was to supervise all of the engineering staff as well as surveyors. One of the engineers- in fact he was the only engineer on staff with a degree in environmental engineering, ran the city's solid waste and recycling program.

He was an Associate Civil Engineer which meant he earned (top step) $132,214.78 annually. That's not bad money for sorting aluminum cans.

I collect trash for a living and I look forward to reading the comments lol

Kiss_Me · Answer

I have slightly conflicting opinions about answering this question.

I try not to judge people by their jobs. I have seen too many immoral, corrupt, dishonest, or downright evil people that are educated, or make good money. I have also seen the same derogatory traits in the less successful.
However, the lack of motivation I have seen from the generic waste management worker is staggering. Dealing with someone that displays suck a lack of motivation would drive me nuts.

My vote is a definite NO.

Guys don't walk around with a bubble over their heads that say where they work. If you're attracted then his job never mattered.
STAY WOKE KINGS
Thats like saying would you date a woman that slept with 75 MEN, she's gonna lie anyway so why would it matter 🤣😂🤣🤷🤷🤷🤷

CuriousJC · Answer

Oh yeah. Waste management or garbage, it doesn't matter to me. Real men like me will accept any woman even if she is the dirtiest woman making the best cash on the job. You just got to get used to the stench, I work at a job at the zoo and believe me cleaning up after animals really destroyed my nose hairs and sense of smell. So I can love a woman even if she is covered in garbage from work. It just makes it better for us to shower together all the time.

DonkeyDan · Answer

As long as the girl I'm seeing is happy doing what they are doing and has the personality traits I look for then I really don't care what they do. Having said that, it would be highly unlikely that I'd ever meet a woman who does that job that would meet my other criteria anyway, most of the women I am interested in usually work in the sciences or Healthcare.

jamesgoldman · Answer

I wanted to do it as a kid and did pitch in a lot whenever I could but the car accident put paid to that

I ended up in the metals business which is by an albeit narrow extension an element of the waste management business

But remember the quote 'when you're in waste management everyone assumes you're mobbed up it's a stereotype and it's offensive'

20yearsolder · Answer

Why not? They actually make a pretty good living. It's honest work. Without them you would live in rubbish. They do take showers and clean up pretty nicely

NamerOfStars · Answer

Sure. It's not clean or pretty, but it's honest work, and needs to do be done. It's at LEAST as praiseworthy as being a soldier. And, you know, bathing is easily done nowadays.

Now, it's not high-status work, either, but I'm pretty sure that even if I WAS a woman, I wouldn't care about that (or at least not care much). The world has come to a point where exploitation and cold cunning is more common- and far more profitable- than the simple desire to do an honest job well.

TransAm85 · Answer

I've been married to a mechanic for 9 years. Burnt tranny fluid, antifreeze, old oil, brake fluid/cleaner, and diesel stinks just as bad as someone who comes home from emptying garbage all day. The garbage trucks today basically do it for you anyway. I bet the garbage man has a nice 401K and life insurance if your one of those greedy, materialistic broads.. so look at it that way! lol

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, I would do so. We have a Waste Management called Big's and they have a girl who works for them she is like 30 some years old but she picks up huge garbage cans and some days she drives the garbage truck but she gets along with all the guys I think it's amazing to see a woman doing that job. It just shows us a woman can do any job that a man can do.

Mangospacho · Answer

It depends on if she’d let me drive the trash truck because that would be awesome. You can park anywhere with a trash truck. The windshield is too high to put a ticket on it and the truck is too dirty for even a tow truck driver to take.

Kaamraj · Answer

As a man, the woman's job doesn't matter to me as long as it's not explicitly monetizing her sexuality. If she works in the waste management field, then it doesn't matter to me as it's a very good, honest, hardworking job.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Oh if anything I would like them more. While I oppose work and am super lazy I respect more jobs like this which are core vital things. If someone told me they work in a tanning booth, simply I would walk away and never ever think of speaking them.

befuddle · Answer

Not everyone that works for Waste Management picks up garbage for a living...

Blonde401 · Answer

A persons job wouldn’t make me not want to date them, I find it mind boggling thing that someone might feel that way?

The1Girl · Answer

Yes. A job is a job, and it's not a badly paid job either. You would have to be really shallow and immature to care about that.

bigpauly · Answer

Yea they’d just need to shower when they got home lol

Sincerly_KittyCat · Answer

Maybe the owner of a waste management company, other than that no.

LivAndLearn · Answer

As long as they don't smell like trash or act like trash then of course I could be with him!

RebeccaBI2000 · Answer

I could. If they are happy with what they do, I am happy for them. I do not date people based on their jobs.

Babygirl_S · Answer

I don't want anyone who earns less than me so no. I believe in feeling submissive to my partner so he should be earning more than me.

douride2 · Answer

I know lots of good people who work in waste management. I wouldn't have an issue with it.

exitseven · Answer
