Luckily, our trash can has a lid on it and it can only hold so much trash until the lid can no longer be securely fastened. Lets just say that lid was not going to shut if anymore trash were shoved into the already compacted Rubbermaid trash receptacle.
I sometimes get scared taking the trash out at night even though we live in safe area with a gated community. In order to calm my nerves I decided to take my pepper spray with me and I also locked the door before leaving (just in case any burglars decided to break in during my 1-2 minute absence).
So I ventured out with pepper spray in my right hand and the plastic trash bag and keys in my left. As a tossed the bag into the gigantic dumpster, I thought to myself, "don't throw your keys into the dumpster." I must have jinxed myself during that moment because as just as I went to release the bag, my keys caught tangled up in the plastic and went straight into the bin.
I stood in shock for a moment while I internalized what had just occurred. In a short moment I started briskly walking back to our apartment to retrieve a flashlight since it was pitch black outside. After taking only a few steps, I stopped and realized that I had locked the door and if it wasn't for my paranoid thoughts my keys would not be in the bottom of the dumpster.

I locked my door before taking out the trash and I accidentally threw my keys into the dumpster."
So, I decided to go for it... diving right in. I blindly searched for my keys. I'm glad that it was dark so I couldn't see how germ infested the dumpster really was. Within 30 seconds I found them. Fortunately, they were still tangled up in the plastic trash bag and hadn't fallen to the bottom. Well, this whole experience taught me an important lesson: don't be too paranoid or else you might throw your keys into a dumpster.
I thought this was pretty funny:

That is the funniest story!!!! because I know how paranoid you are..seriously that added 5 years to my life cause I laughed so hard.
Love Mom
HAHAHAAAA! That's hysterical Cara. I love it.
Oh man, I'm so glad you found them! Imagine if they had fallen into the bottom of the stinky, dark dumpster. Yuck.
HAHA! Loveit Cara! I
m so paranoid like that too. I would have locked the door to my house before leaving- you don't want to come home and have robbers in there! And if you don't lock your door they can just walk right in! Holy smokes! I'm glad you found your keys :)
I love it! Have a great day!
This story is even funnier because it happened to you!!! Imagine all the germs you collected during your rumble in the trash!
Oh my gosh! That is too funny! I can totally see myself doing that.
Oh...I can relate! What a very entertaining and funny story...a great blogging moment. I hate to admit it; I've been dumpster diving myself only for a great chair that someone threw away. I still can't believe I did it but the chair works out great in our bedroom many years after the fact (I think my family has gotten over the shock that their mother dumpster dives-okay maybe they haven’t)
