'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Huh. I don't know how I feel about that. I mean, I don't like the image I see portrayed, but they're talking legislation (in Spain). That seems wrong, too.
Although I'm not sure about how I feel about government involvement, many governing bodies of various sports impose restrictions based on health concerns, so I think a case could be made that this is similar.
"We're picking up a futon, right?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "We don't take futons. Sorry."
So...he knew he was there for a futon, and thought it would be easier to tell you in person that they don't take futons?
What have they got against futons in the first place?
AVAST!!! Start preparin', ye scurvy dogs and wenches!
Talk Like A Pirate Day be only ONE WEEK away!!!
Yarr.
About the models, there was also this from last week, about "fat" models: [link]
We've just discovered the bitter civil war amongs Salvation Army employees - between the pro-futon and anti-futon factions.
Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
If I'm going to be in Paris, does that mean I have to talk like a French pirate?
There's evidently been a bit of problem with futons and mattresses and old sofas having bedbugs -- yes, actual bedbugs -- around this area, at least, to the point where it's not advisable to pick up stuff from the curb.

No Jess, the "r"s alone would kill you!

True, that -- I had to throw out a mattress a couple of years ago because of bedbugs (we had bedbugs before they were cool...everyone has them now...)
It just seemed like Sean's truck guy was specifically discriminating against futons, not soft furnishings in general.
What have they got against futons in the first place?
I have no idea. I called the call center back, and politely told them they needed to update their information in the call center. I kind of want to let somebody have it, but the driver was very polite, if not accomodating, and the girl in the call center is just some girl in a call center.
Now I have to find some place else to take this stupid futon.
