Well, that was a dumb thing to do, I wonder if the man is homeless or just a junk collector,

I wonder if he was a garbage worker or, a guy who went fishing for something.

@Deepizzaguy That's true. No one would ever expect someone in a dumpster.

A rude awakening indeed!
Always a bit of a silly thing to do, as you never know when the truck will turn up.
But, I guess, on a particularly cold night, a street liver might take this risk.
