Filed under T for Trash

One of the qualities I admire about my ex is he didn't put up with shit when he felt like he was being taken advantage of. One day a few years ago he came home and told me about the staff meeting his company had held that day. The managers had passed around a picture of a worker bending over while the management kicked them in the rear. They were trying to make some point, in the most condescending way possible, about how the staff needed to work harder. My ex immediately stood up, crumpled said paper, and tossed it in the trash, making it clear he was disgusted by it. Totally changed the tone of the meeting. At the time I was horrified by his open outrage toward his superiors. Now I'm pretty sure I would do the same thing.
