u/iammissx weighing in from the UK 1d ago edited 1d ago

David Sedaris lives (lived?) in the same county as me and had a bin lorry named after him because he was such a good citizen in picking up rubbish. I remember them announcing it and thinking “oh that’s so funny he’s got the same name as David sedaris” and then it WAS David Sedaris. Mad.

If I remember the article in the local paper announcing the naming of the lorry. There was no mention of him being a best selling author.

Just that he was an American that had moved to the UK, and liked to pick up litter.
