And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We've just discovered the bitter civil war amongs Salvation Army employees - between the pro-futon and anti-futon factions.

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.

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.

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.

Dude, Craigslist. In the "free" section if you don't think anyone would pay for it.
