I think you handled dumpster diving KAREN perfectly, especially when you said, " You don't need to be rude about it." You put a big smile on my face.

[@thegateoftruth9822]

she had cute feet tho... maybe ill find her on wiki feet

[@jakertheelaborater2573]

Get the oven later when she ain't around or with a magnet fishing rope

[@jakeanderson4106]

Agreed she was a huge bit… pain for no reason and you were very professional about it 😎

[@larsatkinson6491]

It's sad that there are so many sick in the head people like that.

[@johnmccanntruth]

Karen wants to protect her trash… 😂

[@Jason1975ism]

You found a KAREN with a smart mouth. I admire your patience. I'd have dropped a few choice names for her to enjoy.

[@joshuabennett3377]

I mean she wasn't as bad as the one that screamed at him to cut his hair and get a job... Now that one was a real bitch...

[@Shyguy624]

Never understood why some people care so much if you take stuff out of the bin, A. You're recycling B. Usually those bins charge by the weight so you'd actually save them money plus you make money so there's literally no downside

[@BOOT]

Her value in it, was being able to disrespect someone.

[@stephensmith3708]

And I thought everybody was nice to each other. She's a KAREN! You were in the right, cuz. Heck, you could be a psychologist how you kept it calm.

[@stevendale7658]

What a KAREN 🤣🤣🤣

[@AudioPanacea]

I love how Karen asked what you were doing in the bin, you explain yourself and then she proceeds to _tell_ you there's no reason to go in there. Brilliant. 🙄

[@andrewcannon587]

facts and logic don't apply to Karen due to brain damage from birth

[@JuliaDawn1980]

Love how you killed her rude absurdity 😂❤😂 with kindness 😅😊😅

[@johnkirkwood9198]

Way to keep your cool with Karen.

[@tamgata9064]

why not just tell that lady that in canada its NOT trespassing if the bin is on public property (the street)

[@tamgata9064]

@granitestater1029 fair enough but this is his job, should know all the rights that go along with it

[@paulcoenen7918]

I always wanted to tell a Karen that im the trash inspector, then ask if she through whatever im after in the trash.

[@Bob-nl2co]

I can’t imagine having this level of patience, bravo. I definitely would’ve made the situation worse 😂

[@MaddogJoe100]

I thought Canada was full of mooses, not Karens.

[@joshualesicka2603]

Some people are just unhappy!

[@matthewelliott2213]

[@susananthony2366]

When people complain about picking through 'their' trash I imagine (wish) the picker offering to help carry the garbage back inside for them if they feel its has value enough to complain.

[@larrybuckles5180]

You've got a bathtub and a water heater now all you need is a chair and you will have ready-made camper.

[@empirefinds]

Mate it does not matter what you are doing as long as you are talking. That woman should have been told your channel name. She would love the comments about her. I feel so sorry for the husband. Awesome episode brother

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

It really disgusts me when people are rude for no reason. There is enough hate on this planet, just be kind. I admire your patience and kindness sir, much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@Kenthis15]

Thanks for subtitling the interaction, I can never hear the ones you have usually. Also geez, she got all wound up over nothing, good job staying so professional.

[@thadofalltrades]

Plus the bin is in the street which is public access. Just go back after dark and get it

[@randyseidell1665]

I run across so many people who would rather destroy the earth further than you make a dime. Never cease to amaze me

[@larrybuckles5180]

It is the same in the US. If it is on the curb and the curb stretches about 3 or 4 feet inward the supreme court has a ruler that it is considered abandoned property and anyone is allowed to take it, although it isn't worth it to get into a fight over it.

[@E-BikingAdventures]

It has nothing to do with how much a curb "stretches". It's 6 feet from the road side or curb. That is serviceable land. Anything left there is considered abandoned. However, being under construction with equipment may have some exceptions.

[@mollynakamori]

As always, I am in awe of your people skills and your infinite patience.

[@thubprint]

Thank you! Of course you know I spent the next 15min thinking of all the far better things I should’ve said at the time lol

[@E-hab]

​@@thubprint Well, we all think later with a better response but we can't rewind the time!

[@mollynakamori]

@@thubprint - The thing is, you DIDN'T say all the stuff I would have wanted to. Well done, you!

[@chadfortman4162]

The soaps must been on break for Karen come out say that's my trash you cant have it. I want it go into the landfill 😂. What a big C

[@johnhayes9376]

Hi Drake, Great to see you back doing what you love best, scrapping, and hope all is okay with you and the family? Please stay safe and take care, and looking forward to more adventures to come. Regards John

[@thubprint]

Thanks John, always nice to hear from you! I think the family and home life are going great, at least as far as I can tell haha Same to you, stay warm over the next couple months here!

[@thewonderfulwizardofozisan7573]

Hey man, I love the dumpsterdiving videos, for me I think it is the way you think out loud when your on and about. That's whats makes your videos better than others. Thanks! :)

[@mrMacGoover]

Gotta love the Karen, she doesn't understand that your not trespassing or doing anything illegal.

[@ThisCharminManc]

The karenicity is strong with that one 😂

[@mr.zardoz3344]

The Family Guy reference (Oohh, a piece of candy) was hilarious.

[@westermanneric]

I’m glad you set Karen straight, Thub! You’ve been way too nice to some of them in the past!

[@blackwidowfarms]

the karen-ness was very well handled. I'm not so polite when I know where things are at and they don't. Hey if you're in my area, let me know and we'll have a cup of tea 😀

[@mindsetmentor681]

Why do people who think they're smarter than everyone else are usually dumber! You're taking weight out of that dumpster. Which means it will probably be cheaper for her. The world stinks these days. I'm so impressed with your patience with these people…

[@thubprint]

I’m always confused as to why someone would be anything other than excited to have a bunch of mass removed from their rented dumpster for free, but at least it’s pretty rare!

[@LimeHax]

Thank you for keeping the confrontation in the footage, super entertaining!

[@mediocrefunkybeat]

I would go back at 3AM to get the heavy item from the dumpster and stick it to Karen...

[@Manhandle730]

And toss it through their front window.

[@gussuperman7565]

M8 from past experiences dealing with a person with an attitude , I just simply explain that I'm keeping recyclable material out of the over burden landfill . I'm also saving the home owner money , by reducing the weight in the trash bin so my motto is reuse , reduce , recycle . You did a good job communicating with an uneducated person m8. Keep up the good work. God bless y'all.

[@jaredfletcher1587]

And he's on public property anyway with it being in the road 😂

[@robertfranczak9382]

there are some people in this world who just don't understand scrapers and she is one of many but yet yell at people not saving the planet.

[@randyseidell1665]

Great load for getting truck back to work. Sad winters coming😢

[@BushDogScrapper]

Karen’s always be raining on the parade 😂 otherwise it looked like a fabulous day for searching for scrap treasure! CheeRs Thub ♻️👍🏻

[@BOOT]

A lot of people just wanna be nasty to others and anyone they deem poor, qualifies for that treatment. People often assume I am beneath them based on my appearance, so they disrespect me.

[@thubprint]

It’s thankfully not super common but yeah, there are lots of folks out there who totally buy into the manufactured infighting to feed their personal progress myths. So many people actually believe they’re “temporarily inconvenienced billionaires in the making” rather than the one bad month away from being dirty and homeless which more closely reflects the reality. If I could teach them I would, but at least you and I know their bad attitudes come from an absolute fiction

[@nachodamiani5457]

@@thubprint Nah, no point in trying to teach them, their parents should have and they didnt, its too late for that already. You did the right thing, just kept going.

[@huntersmith7094]

Keep up the good videos

[@timnavarrette6932]

You definitely fit in the category of George St Pierre, drake and all other Canadian greats

[@wnytrashtrucks]

When I seen the houses I could tell you are in the nice part of town. Plenty of people there who want to put down the "bum" going through the trash.

[@richraah9590]

'i would of probably said yes if you asked' so you come out your house and moan at somebody collecting waste that isn't on your property that you would of let them take anyway. this is why i hate people

[@nikolaikalashnikov4347]

Yes! Dumpster diving is the best. 👍

[@patrothwell9138]

Nice to see you back in the scrapping mode

[@Nas_Atlas]

Screw those Karens. Next time tell her to call the police. Load up the scrap and go. I'm sure the cops will be so excited to know you're stealing garbage and recycling it.

[@richavic4520]

That's one of the reasons I love watching your vids. Keep doin the thing!

[@connorkobus2620]

Always love fridays because there is another thub episode!

[@trevorimpulsebuyguy6398]

You should get a power inverter if you don't have one for your vehicles. That way you can test stuff like your cooler that you scored that day.

[@DumpsterMarcus]

If the bin is in the driveway then yes..but it’s in the road and that’s public sooooo lol 😂

[@robertsnyder3223]

Nice video. Kids sometimes watch with me then see me do it and say the guy on your phone did that. Lol im like yep extra money and relaxes me. They do always ask if stuff is worth money and how much lol.

[@lupegarcia-ho1658]

Your a fantastic person👍🏼You handled her very well. You moved on and as you say your found other treasures. I love scrape bingo.

[@berto6063]

Bring back dumpster bingo!

👍👍👍

[@jmik19]

lady was really like “WhErE’S tHe ReCyCLinG CenTer???”

[@anthonycolangeli4133]

That woman really rubbed me the wrong way. I find most everyone to be really nice and do not care in the least but there are always exceptions. Maybe she was having a bad day but you handled it very maturely.

[@glengarryfiddler7887]

Late to te party, but.... her poor husband.Must dread his evenings and weekends...lol... Always the gentleman. Good for you

[@Warpcaller]

Thanks for another great video, wouldn't be a proper Friday evening without one for me.

[@williammeeks1283]

Great video thub! It will always amaze me that some people would rather fill up landfills instead of allowing someone to recycle their throw aways.

[@wszechmocnieuzdolniony]

Super 👍

[@dianeblanchette4891]

Thanks for sharing !!

[@jerriewaid3997]

I often say to myself I wonder if that is really intended to be tossed out, but when it is in a dumpster on the street it's free game. She was out of line if it was something she wanted why is it in the trash.

[@dr.a006]

She said it had a fire in it and it doesn’t work, why the hell she so clingy to it still??😅🙄

[@jamespatterson8512]

Make an overhead trolly in your garage, for lifting things.

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Great video my friend

[@jasonmillstalks]

You are a better man than me. I would've told Karen to stuff it, taken it anyway, and laughed as she called the police who'll tell her to kick rocks

[@DianaRea-nv8zc]

You’re the best!!

[@OriginalNethead]

Dear Karen: Go ahead and call the cops; they need a good laugh too.

[@E-BikingAdventures]

Within 6 feet of the road or curb is servicable land. It's not tresspassing.

[@MrRoscojones1]

Well I’ve had an interesting few weeks. I’ve found out that home owners insurance companies are using Google Earth to check properties around the time of renewal. They got me that way. I had to sell my metal at a lower price than I wanted.

[@thubprint]

There’s an interesting scheme! Never thought about that, but there’s another good reason to keep scrap under a roof

[@jaywalmsley6177]

😮 brilliant

[@joshp6061]

Awesome scrapping 👍

🤘

[@user-xj4fl9xh1e]

Your videos keeps me going bro, i've turned to scrapping here too back in our country after i lost my main job, scrapping here is really tough, scapyards back here are mostly sneaky and dishonest specially when it comes to your copper and aluminum and steel.. .

Up yours Karen it's off your property possession 9 /10s of the law ☹🤔👍🇬🇧🙂💪✌

[@IanJ-rz6nb]

Watched most of your content your an interesting guy loved how you handled the home owner but did you tell her she would be on your channel as I would like to think she watched it back and read the comments well done kill them with kindness

[@jeromemaxwell143]

I totally admire your tactfulness! I would give anything to be like that. 👍

[@youidiotssuckgood]

my first Canadian Karen😊😅😂

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

I would be upset when she mentioned what you would use the money for!?😮

[@Dean-yy9ki]

Ur the goat

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Why didn't the I-Beam go in as Prepared? Also, why didn't you keep the I-Beam? Throw it across your rafters as a lift point for your soon-to-have winch, or for an A-frame, or for a super sturdy bench edge to hammer stuff on.

[@lukelegg9915]

longer than 4 feet, cant go in as prepared

[@thubprint]

Yeah, I would’ve had to cut it in half to get prepared which would mean bringing it home. I’m basically on tunnel-vision looking through a long list of video projects over the next few months so unless I can quickly see how I can sell a thing or use it as part of a video, I don’t want to take more stuff home. I already found something I could’ve used that for though so I definitely should’ve kept at least a piece of it! 😅

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

@@thubprint - Lol, the way she goes. Keep it, you never need it. Toss it, you need it the next day. Didn't know that about prepared, so you just get general shred price for it? That sucks. I'm curious about the logistic side of that rule, why to them is prepared worth paying you more, but not if more than 4 feet? What about the recycling process gave birth to those rules? Hmm.

[@johnchristie1423]

4 foot rule is so when it goes into the smelter door it will fit anyway ( Regina smelter) some are at 3 foot rule@@MattsAwesomeStuff

[@HerbalNerdal]

Karen encounter haha

[@popapoco]

Karen karen KAREN, lol

[@DNO316]

Yea despite the homeowner being the one who ordered the bin, if its parked on public highway (ie the road) its fair game. Different if its on drive, but this literally can't be tresspassing considereing its public land. You stick your rubbish in a bin, to get rid of it, and then complain when someone wants to re-use / make money from it. Some audacity lol

[@odigomez1787]

It’s not considered trespassing if the dumpster is on the public street. It would be different if it was on her driveway but it wasn’t. I would’ve got the piece out the trash and just drove away.

[@dr.a006]

Karen: why don’t you go do something else? Thub: Because I like doing this. This is fun! Probably also Karen: Well, I like harassing people and that’s fun. She has the authorateh to take down your name?!!😂😂😂 That was entertaining to say the least. Good job!
