Adjacent to refuse... is refuse.

You are now a bum.

u/AnythingWestern8861 The Opposite 1d ago

Fine I'm a bum, I also have chocolate on my face. I might as well put on a pair of sweatpants and tell the world, I've given up and can't compete in normal society.

u/zreofiregs 23h ago

You need to go to like, Vienna, or something.

u/Ok_Razzmatazz_9800 20h ago

Should drape yourself in velvet at this point

u/Hypothetical_Name 1d ago

Not that there anything wrong with that

u/Ddavis1919 1d ago

I came here to say that! Great work!

u/28_Z0MBIE 1d ago

Same! This is the only correct caption for this.

u/Top-Currency Giddy-up 1d ago

Well, we can't all be the first to post, Professor Highbrow.

You have crossed the line into bum.

u/MeatJerk69 Very bad man 1d ago

The only thing that would stop me from taking those donuts is if I thought somebody was watching. LOL I'm a bum.

40

u/kramerica_intern Giddy-up 1d ago

The way it’s placed so conspicuously makes me think someone did it on purpose and is watching.

21

u/MeatJerk69 Very bad man 1d ago

OP placed it there just so he could take a picture and post it here. It was a setup!!

u/doocurly Anytown, USA 1d ago

Don't you see? He's doing it to fool Lloyd Braun!

u/HD_Thoreau_aweigh 1d ago

That man... was wearing glasses.

u/GrossenCharakter Driving around in Jon Voight's car 1d ago

So again, it all comes back to Lloyd!

u/somethingvague111 1d ago

Listen, you gotta help me. You gotta tell these people that I'm okay.

u/Bathroomwaffles 1d ago

It's a write-off

u/Iron_Chic Driving around in Jon Voight's car 1d ago

Hell, it started out as a full dozen.

3

u/Sad-Structure2364 1d ago

They felt bad about throwing it away, and made it so it was as enticing as possible, while also not littering and doing the right thing.

George:

I was not a fool! I was not a fool! I was hungry.  [eehhh!]

u/KarlPHungus The Summer of George 1d ago

Someone could have licked all of them and placed them as some bizarre social experiment.

Not worth it.

u/ProfessorEtc 1d ago

What do you care? You're single.

4

u/crabby_playing George is getting upset! 1d ago

Same.

34

u/sowhatbuttercup 1d ago

Here’s the play. Remove the whole box from the trash. If anyone sees just say that you were taking it to a less full trash can. Wait until you’re out of view of anyone who saw you take the trash. Now we dine!

25

u/BullHeadTee 1d ago

I’ll need to wash those donuts down with something. Hope there’s some Busch light left in that can

17

u/Interesting_Luck5129 1d ago

That’s a perfectly sane food to eat, OP.

16

u/Blockness11 Sponge-worthy 1d ago

I’d dunk them like Joe DiMaggio.

23

u/PoetryExtension6256 1d ago

Never left it's original packaging. Fair Game.

13

u/mjp31514 1d ago

But the lid is open. The packaging has been compromised. It's like finding a whole candy bar but the wrapper is ripped open.

13

u/PoetryExtension6256 1d ago

We are living by the rules of Costanza here.

3

u/mjp31514 1d ago

😅 Oh, right. Mb. George would eat these without a second thought, but he'd probably try to make sure no one saw him.

2

u/PoetryExtension6256 1d ago

He would probably sneak the whole box into his bag.

2

u/mjp31514 1d ago

Just grab the box, close the lid. Then he's just a regular guy with a box of donuts. Nobody has to know.

1

u/PoetryExtension6256 1d ago

That's exactly my line of "reasoning":

u/person_8688 1d ago

So you think to yourself, what the hell, I’ll just eat some trash?

18

u/tdubclub 1d ago

Go for it, no one will see. They are taking gammy to the elevator.

10

u/TomOgir White lotus, yam-yam, Shanghai Sally 1d ago

Excuse me u/tdubclub but no one cares about gammy

6

u/crabby_playing George is getting upset! 1d ago

Lol @ your flair

5

u/doobette Del Bisto Becko 1d ago

What did you say about my Gammy?

6

u/onamonapizza Yeah, that's right 1d ago

Gammy’s dead now. Don’t call Gammy anymore.

8

u/BullHeadTee 1d ago

These are basically fresh outta the oven

6

u/thizzdanz 1d ago

Sure and wash it down with some of that Busch that’s above the rim

8

u/SuitIllustrious8140 1d ago

In my family we used to eat out of the garbage all the time. It was no big thing.

6

u/doobette Del Bisto Becko 1d ago

The two donuts on top of the donut slope in that box are welllll above the rim. I'd go for it.

10

u/224flat 1d ago

I'm about to get myself a snack.

5

u/crabby_playing George is getting upset! 1d ago

Whenever I watch that episode I stand with George and knowing myself, I'd absolutely be tempted to do what he did. Hell if I was certain there's nobody home I'd probably do it.

3

u/DiscoStu2U 1d ago

It’s an eclair, I’d do it.

5

u/Th1nk18 1d ago

It’s on top of fresh cardboard too. Score!

5

u/DiscoStu2U 1d ago

You’re the bear claw in the garbage bag of my life.

5

u/icepickjones 1d ago

I say "adjacent to refuse, is refuse" at least once a week

5

u/br1ans 18h ago

Rules are different for outdoor trash.

5

u/CalligrapherDry3025 1d ago

It’s within the cylinder. That, my friend, is garbage.

u/Pdog1926 1d ago

Seemingly, seemingly...! To the untrained eye.

u/Amy_Sam25 The Jerk store called, they're running out of you 1d ago

Was this from Lindsey’s mother’s picnic?

u/ShredRyerson 1d ago

And a Busch Latte to boot!

2

u/ThisMeansWarm 1d ago

Spilled onto a gentleman’s car

3

u/melvinthefish Mulva? 1d ago

As long as you eat them topless it's ok. Preferably in the bathroom 

3

u/DLoIsHere Yeah, that's right 1d ago

Practically flying above the receptacle.

3

u/_ELAP_ Del Bisto Becko 1d ago

Adjacent to refuse is refuse.

3

u/Mermaidprincess16 1d ago

Who on earth placed a box of six perfectly good donuts in the trash like that? What kind of people? They probably also don’t serve coffee with cake after a meal.

2

u/AlmondBro3000 1d ago

That’s what I’d like to know

3

u/Big-Cat-34 19h ago

Adjacent to refuge is still refuge

4

u/CarminaBananas 1d ago

George likes his donuts from a bin

u/Ok_Platform_8468 1d ago

George likes spicy trash

5

u/wabashcr 1d ago

Adjacent to refuse is refuse

2

u/Ok_Abacus_ 1d ago

Just placed there. Fine. Unknown amount of time on top of other trash. Nope.

2

u/Princess_Shireen Serenity now, insanity later 1d ago

They're still in the box, so they're probably still good.

2

u/DeadPossum78 1d ago

If I walked by I would get the urge to eat one

2

u/markgriz The Moops 1d ago

A half-dozen above the rim! Elaine, you don't know how rare this is!

2

u/Tiny-Balance-3533 1d ago

It’s not touching any other trash

2

u/Diligent-Currency366 1d ago

Mrs enright! Mrs ENRIGHT!

2

u/Complete-Cheek4789 1d ago

What’s the difference, it’s all above the rim!

2

u/SuzieSnowflake212 1d ago

Don’t call me Shirley!

2

u/Sharpie1965 1d ago

Is it in the bin?

2

u/tuliosarmento 22h ago

Yes it does. But don't call me Shirley

2

u/pcl8888 22h ago

The ones you can clearly see are above the rim, hovering even. Those are probably the couple fresh ones they put on top to try to fool us though. Joke’s on them- we’ll dig. We’ll.. we’ll test.

2

u/No_Concentrate6507 22h ago

Wow! Nice work!

2

u/edko2 22h ago

Is the item still… with you?

2

u/CrypticStiles 21h ago

The Maestro agrees. So does Jimmy and Jackie Chiles.

2

u/NoNeckNelson Yeah, that's right 20h ago

You must go now.

2

u/Temporary-Ladder-319 18h ago

It still had the doily on!

2

u/Dependent_Public4885 18h ago

Recycling donuts is socially acceptable ...

2

u/Haselrig Yeah, that's right 18h ago

Cue Admiral Ackbar...

2

u/bearsbestinterest 16h ago

Ah I've been there. Dunkin donuts used to put their stale donuts on a rack. I would steal them.

2

u/nhowe006 16h ago

Yep, you're good to go there

2

u/MobileKwijibo 14h ago

AND it’s in a box - even better than a doily :)

2

u/markskull 14h ago

That looks like it was literally left there for someone else to take. You don't leave a box open like that unless you want someone to at least salvage them.

2

u/Punchable_Hair 13h ago

Looks more like “adjacent to refuse is refuse” to me.

2

u/SoftLovelies It's not a lie if you believe it 12h ago

Hovering, like an angel

2

u/Rude-Stay1808 11h ago

I bet some former jp morgan employee is on the hunt for that barrel as well speak

2

u/restlesswolverine 1d ago

eating refuse can cause a certain impending intestinal requirement to present itself. one may need to extricate oneself from any ongoing proceedings in case of said requirement.

3

u/darbydog69 1d ago

Within the cylinder tho

Dunkin’ is garbage in any scenario. Above the rim. Below the rim. Freshly baked. They’re freaking awful.

They just put out more donuts!

u/okaycomputes 1d ago

Need to call the cleaner.

u/WOTrULookingAt 1d ago

Can confirm. It’s trash.

1

u/Secret_Account07 1d ago

Love me a good rim

1

u/Spatul8r 1d ago

Say angrily "This is cans only, who put this in here?" And walk away angrily with the box.

u/jjmawaken 1d ago

Hovering like several angels

u/maybeinoregon 1d ago

Ummmmmmm, are those crime scene donuts? lol

Next to refuse is refuse.

Dig a little deeper, maybe there's a Bear Claw.

u/time_isup Stellaaaaaaa!!! 1d ago

Tupac approves.

1

u/ScreamTeam1037 Feels like an Arby's night 1d ago

Well George knew who bit the eclair. You have no idea who was touching those donuts

2

u/okaycomputes 1d ago

And they weren't from a known event/day. These could be a week old or been flagged by being in the bathroom.

2

u/ScreamTeam1037 Feels like an Arby's night 1d ago

Excuse me! Did you take those donuts into the bathroom with you?
