You know the executive probably spent all night agonizing over how to squeeze the last dollar out of the frequent flyer. The athlete has to worry about random PED testing and hoping his drug dealer doesn't get busted. These guys just want a full nights rest and who is this fucking commoner coming around so early in the morning to pick up garbage. I mean it's not like he's doing them any favors or anything.

And how often is the garbage even picked up, twice a week? Maybe once a week? Are they really so put off for being woken up early for two fucking nights a week to throw someone in jail?
