Off to the tip with green waste

I took the day off to ferry the oleanders off to the Kimbriki recycle station. It is 18 km away, but they take some stuff for free. In order to qualify, I needed to take the cage off my trailer and prove that I was a local resident. I was a bit apprehensive about the stumps (see picture below) and thought they may charge me the full rate ($145 a ton), but fortunately they didn’t so I’m happy. While in the queue, some guy was having an argument – obviously he thought he should not be charge the full rate. The attendant kept on pointing to the two axels on his trailer and on the price guide. Why do people bother arguing? I was next and the guy was obviously in a foul mood.
