Current Events > Me and my girlfriend got some perfectly good sandwiches out of the garbage today

(+) Yeah! (+)

So the two of us were playing tennis, and there was some other preppy couple our age on the court. They started leaving, and got into their Prius, but then before pulling away, the dude got back out of the car with a big platter of some sort, and threw it into the trash bin.
Curiosity got the best of us, so we went and opened the garbage bin, there was a fully intact party platter of hero sandwich slices. American/Italian cold cuts and chicken cutlet mozzarella! Clean and wrapped in cellophane and everything! They looked like they hadn't been touched at all. We smelled them and took a couple test bites to make sure they were still good, and they tasted fine, so we grabbed as many as we could and took them home with us.

We both had a slice earlier today. I guess I'll report back tomorrow and let you know if we got food poisoning?

My theory, and the reason why I felt okay eating them, is the following:

Like I said they both looked preppy and well to do, probably white collar jobs. Lots of offices bring food in on Fridays for workers to boost morale.
If I had to guess, one of them probably got stuck with the platter of sandwiches that was barely touched, and they didn't object.

However, later on, while playing tennis, and right before dinner, the two of them probably had a conversation along the lines of this:

"Haha, what are we gonna do with all these sandwiches?"
"Idk, I don't really want them."
"Well if you're not gonna eat them I guess let's get rid of them?"
"Lol you mean right now?"
"I mean there's a garbage right there... Yeah just throw them away."
"Lol okay."

They then proceeded to drive off, and go pay money for expensive yuppie food like Paleo burgers or something.

eating food out of the trash is kinda eh but you basically watched them throw it out unopened so whatever.

Also FWIW, the slices we had earlier tasted fucking awesome.

Yeah, and additionally like I said this was at a tennis court. The only other trash in there was like water bottles and tennis ball containers.

If it was any other garbage, we probably wouldn't have bothered.

Yeah we really should have pictures of the food, the garbage bin, and your girlfriends ruptured asshole.

24 hours later, we're fine. Can confirm the sandwiches were 100% legit.

Here's the requested pic.

Mind you these are the ones we took home. The entire platter when we found it was wrapped up in cellophane still.

That's a bold ass move to eat food right out of the garbage. A chicken sandwich could be completely wrapped and inside a box in the garbage and I still wouldn't eat it.
