Do what you say!

Why don't some people do what they say they'll do? Oh, I know most people do.
But, I'll bet good money that we all know someone who failed to live up to their word in some way or other.
I'm ticked this morning about the garbage service, or lack of service I should say.
Since we live out in the country at the end of a long rutted dirt road, we have to have private garbage pick up. We've been with one service since we started having it hauled off. Before we just took it out to a gully on our place and burned it. Oh, don't get started you environmentalist fruitcakes. If you were really serious you would come up a true recycling plan that would not only be profitable but could actually pay the consumer a miniscule amount for the glass, metals and other recyclable products we now cover in a landfill.
But back to my immediate problem. We pay this guy, in advance I might add, to come once a week and haul off our household garbage. Not much generally. Two to three bags at our house and our daughters house.
This slack ass hasn't been in a mounth. Even though we have call and left messages on his phone. He never answers himself of course, preferring to let the answering machine screen out the irate customers which he will soon not have.
I'll probably try another service and see if they'll live up to their implied contracts.
Just another tangle of Kudzu.
