While it is a violation of federal law to tamper w/mail in a mailbox (including those at the PO), mail that has been discarded in a clearly marked trash and/or recycling container is then "abandoned property" over which the former owner has no expectation of privacy.

It would be the same as walking along the street on trash/recycling day, looking through the containers. Just because the trash/recycling container is located *inside* a PO doesn't somehow exclude it from the common law principles of property ownership.


Oh, and my 2.5-yo pooped on the floor today, too. But it was just a little turd. I think there was more left on his butt than on the floor. laugh out loud

I was told that going through someone's trashed mail could be construed that you are attempting identity theft. Now, how legal or true that really is and if they could make a case out of it, I dunno - but it has kept me afraid of dumpster diving!!

Personally, I'm of the mindset that if you throw it away - like you mentioned, there is no longer any expectation of privacy (or "ownership".) Hence the reason why you should shred anything with pertinent info on it.

And laugh out loud @ your toddler... I don't really have any new poo stories. It's been kind of quiet and uneventful on the poo front. DD is doing really great in taking herself to the potty though - so I am grateful for that.

It would HELP if they wouldn't stock the Lysol right next to the clorox, especially since the bottles are the same shape and size. Don't they REALIZE those clorox q's are hard to come by and we dont need to waste any???? Annoyed



Teehee can you tell I did the same thing?

All I know is, I've read on dumpster diving sites that it's illegal to take trash from Federal property.

Okay, so quickly.. court went well... but the a$$ had the balls to ask my lawyer to put in the new agreement that I would attend couples counseling with him. My lawyer didnt even bring it to me.. she just said no. She came to me after and said "you would have said no, right?" I said absolutely... she knew because we had discussed it before. I have NOOOOOO desire in hell to go back to him.

Edited to add a comment to Megs! What an arse!!!! I am glad that your attorney told him no - and you didn't have to endure more suffering at his hand! As always sending you PT!!! I hope that it is all over soon and that you can be free of his maniacal tethers!!!!!!! How is the plan to move going?

Quote from audriannasmama :
I have a crappy story to tell...we are still trying to get DD to master pooping in her potty. So today she was running around naked and she wouldn't go poop. Finally she decided to go play in her room and she took the potty with her. I figure she wants to go in private. After about 15 minutes she scream "MOMMY! There's peepee all over my room." I go running in she pooped on the floor next to the potty!!! It was the BIGGEST turd I have EVER seen in my life!
ROFL!!! Now there is the TCC we all know & love!!!!

LOL prob easier to clean the butt than the floor! And I *think* that there is no expectation of privacy by the person who threw away the trash - that is true - however one's right to peruse someone else's garbage is questionable ... you might have to have a badge in order to do that without question Wink

LOL Yes the arms were all in tact and in fact I tried to keep my neurosis to myself ROFL - I was so mortified when I was sick ... but I really think it is that my body doesn't like the meds cuz I got sick again last night. Still mortifying!!!!!

I was game to dumpster dive ... and here they keep them locked up EEK! I mean I know I was going to steal coupons if I found them .... but really what else are people going to steal .. and if someone wants your garbage so badly why not let them have it. Confused I am talking about businesses - not someone's private garbage with their personal info.

YEAH on going on the potty!!!! What a smart girlie!!!!!!!!!!

LOL - Never seen the show in person - just the ads for it. I think it is on when we are watching PBS ... not sure. Will have to watch it sometime.

You don't even know how long I spent one day looking at all the bottles looking for the mythical Clorox hangtags .... and I mean ALL the bottles including lovely bright shiny Lysol ones Facepalm

Sorry about that - I can totally see that happening though!!!!!

Quote from .teri. :

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! laugh out loud

Yes - I would be worried about trying it there ---- the whole who has the right to go through the garbage may not actually overlap in a logical way with the whole no expectation of privacy thing. Laws are odd things!

PS - May I ask why you have a chicken in your avitar?

The postal worker (sounds formal) handing out oversized mail usually sees me and offers me more from the trash can they have in the back. She said something about it not really being addressed to any one person- I think the inserts say resident or boxholder or something in the address box not any person's actual name.

I raise chickens.

The one in my avatar isn't mine, though, that one belongs to a friend. Her name (the chicken's name, I mean) is Ms. Knowitall and she's companion to a goat.

That's neat. Someday when I'm independently wealthy I'd like to have a farm and raise maybe a dozen pigs at a time. For some reason I've always had a thing for pigs.

You mean the one where the cashier tells you your total and you nearly fall over because it's completely not what you had "planned"? Hate that. Had it happen last week.
