The trash truck. Normally never comes before 2 o'clock - unless I don't get my trash down till 10. I already took loads to the dump Friday and Saturday. Again today. How can the route change so much as to make a 4+ hour difference?

Sounds good to me. Ours comes at 5 AM with much clang and clatter.

Most around here are that early too.
I'm convinced they want to get their runs down or close to it before the majority of the school busses get out on the roads.

I used to have an employer that said it like that no matter how many times it was brought to his attention.
When someone else said it to him that way he thought they said it wrong and "corrected" with the same wrong word.
He was used to hearing it from others the right way but it didn't self register that he was saying it wrong.

Wow, you'd think someone would show it to him in a dictionary. ...

My XH used to say "Yosemine" instead of Yosemite, even though I kept trying to correct him. Looking back on it now, he probably did it just because he knew it annoyed me. ETA

We did, multiple times, it made no difference, except when he put in a LOT of effort he might have been able to say it right twice in a row.
