That was weird.
Called the city to complain my recycling wasn't picked up. Usually this is an extended argument with a defensive and bitchy city worker and I come away anxious and upset.
Not so today!
The city privatised garbage pickup a couple years ago. So! When I call the city to complain, *it isn't their fuckup*! They don't get defensive, they roll their eyes sympathetically and fill out a service request with the assholes who did the fuckup, who they are also a customer of.
Like, don't get me wrong, privatising public services is bad in almost every way, but it was nice to be on the same team as my government, for a brief moment.
Yeah, because you did the equivalent of going to your local library to complain about someone fucking up garbage pickup. And they totally sympathize because their garbage pickup is getting fucked up too. And no, you can't talk to the garbage pickup guys about any of this. But at least the librarian is nice?
