I received a robocall from he local carting company with a ‘freindly reminder’ to make sure that any canisters of bear spray that I throw in the garbage for pickup are completely discharged and empty.
“Good morning, we appreciate your commitment to keeping our drivers and our community safe. Friendly reminder when disposing of bear deterrent spray; please ensure that you have fully discharged the canister and wrap into a bag before disposing into trash receptacles. Thank you, Republic Services.”
I get the feeling someone on a garbage truck swung a bin into the back of the truck and got a face full of pepper spray.
I find it amusing they composed a robocall for this sort of thing.
ETA: And they texted it too. Man, someone musta really got hit hard.
sounds like they should invest some money into safety glasses and masks.
One of my grand nieces, crying her eyes out, came into tell her mother her woes. When her mom asked her to show what happened, she obediently sprayed her mom with the offending bear spray. Amazingly, they are BOTH older now.
I’m willing to bet driver went to the hospital and that got the companies workers comp insurance carrier involved. I have had to do a few accident reports at work for work place injuries and one of the questions on the form is what can be done to prevent this from occurring again. From what I understand the suggestions have to be implemented to keep insurance rates down. Hence you got a robo call. In my case we got garage door openers
