The author also scavenged pizzas from a dumpster behind a pizza delivery shop. Prepared food was usually not safe, but he retrieved the pizzas immediately after the shop was closed. These extra pizzas were due to prank calls, incorrect orders, or customer rejection, and were perfectly good when discarded. “The pizzas shop made efforts to discourage the author but they were in vain” (358).

This essay “On Dumpster Diving” is about a homeless man Lars Eighner, accompanied by his dog Lizbeth, explaining the strategies and guidelines of surviving from dumpsters, thereby exemplifying the wasteful nature of some humans, while explaining the etiquette involved in the process. The author began dumpster diving about a year before he became homeless. He used all of his infrequent income for rent, consequently having to derive all of life necessities from dumpsters. He then goes on to share the valuable information he has learnt as a human scavenger. There are several different stages to being a scavenger.
“Dumpster divers” are repulsive, unskilled people; this is the kind of assumption that Lars Eighner encourages people to dismiss in his piece, “On Dumpster Diving”. Many people have stumbled upon someone digging through a dumpster at some point in their lives. Their first reaction is usually to be disgusted or to pity the person doing the digging. They feel sorry for them, when they should be feeling sorry for themselves instead (Eighner 365). Those dumpster divers they pity have acquired skills to be self-reliant, unlike most of the population.
Without evaluating it one may be susceptible to something very harmful. The 3rd principle Eighner explains is the knowing of a given area, this portrays the significance of the diver’s methods. If one or two dumpsters continually produce acceptable items for the diver, that diver would know of that area and would be consistent in scavenging in that particular dumpster(s). Going on in the excerpt Eighner explains his first-hand experience and how he started and progressed. “I began scavenging by pulling pizzas out of the dumpster behind a pizza deliver shop”

One day, Jack and his crew were hanging out, when they decide to siphon gasoline from the _________ car, they are a poor family with extremely antisocial children that live in poverty. Jack suggests this idea because he thought it would be fun, but in actuality it was a way of getting back at Dwight and acting out in order to find a way to stop feeling like Dwight’s victim, and instead prove a
This has the consequence that many people have to commit crimes and go into prostitution to buy the drugs they depend on. Yet each time they get what they want, they become more and more sick. Although everything for the people in “Brave New World” is great and everyone is happy and uninhibited if they get their lovely soma, they are also often dependent on the drug. Brave New World’s government supports soma to ensure passiveness of its people and thereby the stability of their created world. Alcohol, on the contrary, seems like an illegal drug in the New World because you become an outsider by drinking it, though it is not forbidden by the
Loud snacks can be distracted and agitating, and the garlic bread and limburger cheese sandwich may taste delectable but the smells can be nauseating or perhaps torturously tempt the appetites of your hungry co-workers. If you get sick, don’t insist on spreading your germs, or sending your neighbor over the wall a nice virus for his weekend. Leave work if you must, but call if you have sick days, or offer your boss to work from home. Everyone will be thankful for your caution. Generally, consider this rule of thumb: “If it bothers you when others do it, avoid doing it
