Garbage collectors..Do you look down on them?

i suppose most youngster's would be the same .it's only when you arrive at adulthood that you realise what a vluable asset these people sre to the community..heaven knows where we would be without them.they have my greatest respect.

Not your fault it is actually like this with everyone. I was not from that high class family and my mom was very strict with us in all these matters. She would always ask the garbage collectors if they wanted water and the maid of our house was treated like one of us. I am married into a high class family but still that habit remains. Even today if I make tea and the maid is there I make some for her also and if I have already had tea then I see to it that I make some for her when she comes. I have given my child the same habit so I hope that she does not feel like you when she grows up. Thanks for bringing up this topic.

Oh,many people have the same opinion with you not only youngers!But i don't look down on them!They also earn money from their hard work.They're not the thieves,foragers and the terrorists,they're only the normal persons!

I don't look down on these people. I believe I haven't done anything degrading to them. I respect them as much as I respect other people. Let's just remember that we are all equal in the eyes of God. It's not there fault if they were born in a poor family. At least they're doing a legal job.

I do not look down on garbage or trash collecters. I have heard they make pretty good money and I bet they find some neat stuff at times. I personally couldn't do it especially in the summer but I am glad there are people that can.

Yes really they are also humans, we should respect to them also. They are actually involved in cleaning our world. Their work is to be supported by us also.

See there is no reason why we should not look down on garbage collectors.When they are at work every one feels that way but after work i dont think it is fair.

I dont look down on them someone has to that job and they get paid good money to do that kind of work. They make more then I do,and alot of other people I know.

I never looked down at people. I guess it was the way I was raised. Jobs were jobs, every person had to work to support there families. Now that I know that garbage collectors makes so much, shoot I wouldn't mind getting a job doing it. Here they don't even get out of the truck, they have machines that picks up the cans and dumps them. Now in the bigger cities I see three, one driving while two of them hang on the back. I know it's got to suck with the cold weather. But with the pay it is all worth it.

why people like you always look down on garbage collectors, toilet cleaners, maids, people who clean up in food court and all the cleaning jobs. shame on you. and now you felt regrets. maybe when you are grown up, your father didn't give you money anymore. maybe now you are garbage collectors. no wonder you felt regrets.

No I do not look down on the garbage collectors.Someone has to pick up our garbage. If we would not have garbage collectors we would have to do it ourselves.There is nothing wrong with anybody that wants to work as a maid, or a toilet cleaner.Its a job.We should be glad we have people like that.

well someone's got to do it! i know where i live that the garbage men get paid really good! i dont look down on them at all, they are people too.

In it in the human nature to look down upon someone who is doing some inferior work than that individual. But this is really inhuman !! Then what about those persons who are not working ?? We should then treat them as untouchable. But thats not the truth, the truth is something else. As per my view on this issue... we should not look down upon anyone who are working and earning their livelihood. Overall they are feeding their family... they are not clumsy enough to stop working and start begging. Thats the easiest profession that you can have !! In our country garbage collectors are not self employed but are either employed by government or recycling company. The individuals who are working for the recycling company are paid for what they have gathered. If you see it in other perspective they are actually cleaning up the environment and making our city free from waste plastics. Hats off to those people who are earning their living with such a noble cause.

I never looked down on garbage collectors. We would have been reeking if not for them! It's their job and they do their best to do it. At least it's better than living off someone's works--like what robbers do. You're right. They're humans too. And it's the more fortunate people like us, who are not garbage collectors, who should help them uplift their lives.

No matter how much you want to change your point of view with regard to the working class like me, that aint gonna change. WHEN the world turns communist, SNOBS like you and me will have to go to another planet. There'll be no space at all for frivolous, skin-deep, materialistic kind of intellect which is short-ranged and unpassionate. How can you feel for us workers when you don't know how if feels to be poor all your life while rich kids like you are looking on in fascination and disgust. In their eyes, we're like caged or wounded animals in need of help. Poverty is the one thing beyond the grasp of those so-called the upper class. How does communism sound for a facelift.

i look down apon janitors. at my school they tell us to clean up after ourselves. like, i put away my food and stuff. but if someone spills something, it shouldnt be there fault, the janitor must clean it, cuz thatshis job, if he din want it, he should have studieed harder in skol

no i don't, they're the ones who collects our garbage and thrashes from our life. without them, we'll be stinking so bad and will be helplessly sick because of our own garbages. they're also people who work for a living. let's be thankful that there are still humans who would work to clean our own mess and our own dirt for us to have a clean living.

yaa we should not behave like that to the garbage collectors.

i respect there work it's hard work and they got a good payment for it

I think that the most important thing in a person is his her dignity, no matter what the job, social position, race, religion etc, is. If you've come to see that then it's cool beans, because nowadays we're in a shortage of sensitive people. I liked your post cause it's been honest about your feelings and i like that.
