Your company rented a trash can, but, did not sign up to have it emptied.

I was working in a booth with one of my favorite companies at a show in Orlando. There was a cocktail hour after the show closed in the exhibit hall. The next day, I got to the floor early. I wanted to walk the floor to see who else was exhibiting. As I stood in front of our booth, I noticed the trash was over flowing from the night before. I saw a man walking down the aisle with a clip board looking carefully at each booth he passed. I also noticed he had a badge on that told me he worked for the show. I said to him," Excuse me, but, it appears  the trash can in the booth was not emptied from  the previous nights party." He looked at his clip board, then looked at the name of the company. Then, honestly, he said," Oh, it looks like your company rented a trash can, but did not pay to have it emptied. Do you want to authorize us to empty the trash?" First, I said I am a cartoonist working FOR the exhibitor, and could not approve anything. Secondly, I said I could not believe what he was telling me. He took care of it.
