I can’t quite figure out the logic here. Are they feeling bad about discarding something that still works? Is it the countless hours they’ve spend staring at this machine that makes them feel guilty about just setting it on the curb to be hauled away by the trash collectors? Or perhaps they’re saying to the trash collectors, “We don’t want it but we’re sure it’s still good enough for you.”
