Hey, it might not seem like a glamorous job, but good pay and benefits. Of all the "embarrassing" jobs, this is one of the best.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

I've heard it was hard to get into to when I was researching it. Like you actually had to know someone.

[–]Tastygroove 6 points7 points ago

Yeah I work on cell phones and electronics. I'll trade with my garbage man this very fucking minute.

[–]Software_Engineer 95 points96 points ago

Sid gets a job helping the community while Andy goes to college and gets tens of thousands of dollars in crippling debt only to enter a dismal job market.

[–]Cluster_One 8 points9 points ago

Assuming there is a crippling market in his world.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Assuming that he doesn't fail college.

[–]NonPermissive 25 points26 points ago

Aren't garbage men paid fairly well?

[–]Durantalot 18 points19 points ago

Yes. I heard they have great water-from-little-girls benefits.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

You are mistaken, it is gatorade and not water.

[–]rawdoggingisawesome 5 points6 points ago

I GOT THAT REFERENCE AS WELL!!!!

[–]TheKingOfDownvotes 17 points18 points ago

My roommate got a job as a garbage man. The first day he entered the truck with his senior partner and the guy said, "I only have one rule. What happens in truck 42, stays in truck 42." He then proceeded to do lines.

[–]ajiva 6 points7 points ago

At first I thought you meant lines as in practicing lines for an acting job. Then I got it :)

[–]Herpes_hurricane 1 point2 points ago

the benefits sound awesome

[–]rawdoggingisawesome -5 points-4 points ago

Yeah, breaking the law and doing illegal drugs is awesome

[–]ellipses1 9 points10 points ago

Yep

[–]ISaintI 0 points1 point ago

so brave

[–]Herpes_hurricane 8 points9 points ago

I love all these little easter eggs that pixar leaves.

[–]xfilmmaker 8 points9 points ago

It's the same voice actor too. Erick Von Detton played Sid in both Toy Story 1 and 3. You only here him miming music in the in the third though. But that's actually his voice.

[–]Scrusby 28 points29 points ago

this was reposted yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and the day before that... Wait, is today groundhog day? AM I BILL MURRAY!?! Nope this r/movies and I'm a loser

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

[–]ToiletBomber 5 points6 points ago

Sid gets a respectable job.

[–]MrPrestige 4 points5 points ago

Hi I'm Sheriff Woody, Howdy howdy howdy

[–]ARobotElephant 1 point2 points ago

I swear to god I see this picture somewhere online every single day.

[–]middyonline 1 point2 points ago

This has to be one of the single most reposted items on reddit.

[–]AxisTilt 0 points1 point ago

[–]Mr_Bugg 3 points4 points ago

Doesn't really make sense though since Andy moves at the end of the first movie.

[–]CanadianMutton 14 points15 points ago

1)They didn't say how far he moved. Could have just been to the other side of town.

2)Sid's family could have moved later

3)Sid was also older than Andy, could have moved out on his own.

4)It's just a movie.

[–]emphaticleech 0 points1 point ago

Also, if he's old enough to work sanitation.. he's old enough to have his own place. And most definitely the money.

[–]bojack2424 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit that's actually him?!

[–]lappy74 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, same voice actor and everything. They speak about it in the special features, it's a nice little touch.

[–]ProfBatman 0 points1 point ago

I always wondered if that was the Zero skateboards logo or just a generic skull.

I've worked as a garbageman before. Once I got used to the smell, it was probably the best job I've ever had.

What I found most interesting about the job was how educational it was... you can learn a lot about a culture by what it sends to a landfill. Vast amounts of perfectly serviceable and usable items, tossed aside with the legitimate detritus of daily life. On a number of occasions, I seriously considered taking some of the stuff I found, giving it a nice, thorough cleaning, and taking it home.

I would go back to being a trashman in a heartbeat.

[–]emphaticleech 0 points1 point ago

What happened with the job? I'm assuming you found something better?

[–]Belvyzep 1 point2 points ago

Alas, awesome as it was, it was only a summer job. A month after it ended, I shipped off to boot camp for the Navy, where I've been ever since. (This was just a couple years ago.) So, yeah, a step up, I'd say.

[–]elligre 0 points1 point ago

gee, I haven't seen this one today.

[–]frequency5 0 points1 point ago

That's actually very uplifting.

After getting a complete freakout from Woody, Buzz and all his mistreated toys, Sid goes on to become an contributing member of society with a lot of pay and plenty of benefits. I bet he even has a nicer relationship with his sister after helping to fix all of her toys he broke as penance for being a sociopathic ass.

He looks like he's actually happy and easy-going living his life and loving every minute of it. I bet he even gets mugs of cocoa from all the houses he visits around christmas.

I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
