Pallets in fields

[sixdogs]

Around here, I have a stream of pallets. I just pile them down by the road and in a day or so they vanish. It seems everyone wants them.

Now, I could be wrong and maybe they just grow legs and walk away. I never thought that until this thread but that is a possibility.

My place must be a retirement home for pallets. I tried putting a fair condition one out by the road. A week later I brought it back in. Nobody wanted it.

You've got to have faith and condition the citizenry to learn you mean business. Lots of people want pallets but don't want to stop for just one. It's the drive through mentality where people don't want to get out of the car.

They used to pull that one pallet thing on me until I added another and then another. It took a while but I learned if you leave them out long enough, especially if more than one, someone will eventually stop. My first ones were staying 'till heck froze over. Pallets have some sort of control over the masses and people want them.

These days, people know that someone will stop sooner or later and if they want in on the experience they better hit the brakes. And they do, with some pallets gone before I take my first lookee-see to check status. Every now and then there is a loner, maybe a shunned pallet, but eventually they are adopted.

Maybe you should have put a for sale sign on it.

I've always said try to give something away and no one wants, put for sale on it and someone will steal it...

There is some part of my psyche that unconsciously keeps 'an eye out' for pallets... at the hardware store, the feed supply and even the tip! (the council rubbish grounds)

Hmmmm... what causes this phenomenon? :scratchchin:

If you are like me, you have a pallet addiction. I use them for all kinds of projects.
