I found a dead person in the dumpster at my work.

No Soylent Green jokes yet?

Why would that creep you out all day? It's a jar of ash.

I guess in theory it shouldn't, since I have someone's ashes at home. But, remains are just a very odd thing to stumble across early in the morning (unless you live in Detroit).
Or unless you're jogging in the local park. Joggers run across dead bodies all the time.

Joggers and Dead Bodies
 
Are you sure it was a human, or a pet with a human's name? Some people are pretty obsessed with their pets, and maybe someone thought they needed to move on.

The birth year and death year were engraved, 1920-something to 2000-something. Not too many pets live to almost 80. Parrots? Those giant turtles?

Not very nice but... like others have said, it's not as bad as an actual corpse, which is what I assumed when I entered the thread.
Gotta use sensational titles if you wanna sell papers. ;)

Tru dat.

Well, if the pet did live to be 80, then the urn makes sense... :p
 
Try posting it in Craigs List Rants and raves with something like
"I hope their spirit come back and haunts your lowlife ass ..."
maybe someone will spot it and rat the person out.?
Just a thought?
 
Yes that would have been a surprising find.
Did you report it to the police so they could find the owner.
I am surprised that someone would do this
 
I found an actual corpse once. We were walking in the park, and strolled under a bridge, and there he was. Must have jumped because his heels were touching the back of his head. Quite an experience.
 
My mum was visiting a freind
Well this day she went over and seen him slumped on the floor he was quite old and she couldnt get through the door so she was able to climb through a window.
She thought he had passed out but he was not breathing he had been there for quite a while.
She said you could see all the rigor mortis on one side of the body.
She was quite upset seeing this
 
I think it's obvious that the ashes are cursed. If I were you I would stay far away from them. Actually, it's probably too late for you. You may still be able to save your boss though.
 
In Belgium they are just gonna wash the people down the drain, right into the sewer.

"We are here today to honor the memory of...What's his name? Ah, screw it, it doesn't matter anyway, just push the lever already.[flush]

Note to self: Do not die in Belgium. :eek: :barf:

What the hell, I guess Soylent Green really WILL be people. Read this bit:

The end result is a small quantity of green-brown tinted liquid containing amino acids, peptides, sugars and salts and soft, porous white bone remains which are easily crushed.
The white ash can then be returned to the next of kin of the deceased.
The liquid can be recycled back to the ecosystem by being applied to a memorial garden or forest or simply put into the sewerage system.

Once again: :barf:
