I recently took out a second mortgage and took some surplus goodies to the local transfer station, intent on backing my trailer up to the wheel stops, pulling the tilt lever and watching my history slide into oblivion.

But lo and behold, there are now barriers alongside the tip to prevent access to the gaping maw. You now carefully unload your treasures by hand and place them neatly beside the tip.

This obviously gives the rates-paid employees something extra to do when we leave.
It seems an incredibly capable trailer-reverser was sufficiently skilled to be able to mount those wheel stops and tip his entire load, including trailer, into the tip. A very clever plan; obviously completely emptying the trailer without any hands-on application.

Meanwhile, back at the other transfer station, another clever person went to the tip (presumably with that intention), past all the signs advising this was a transfer station, past all the signs advising caution, tip, danger, beware etc and into a concrete hole. This apparently did not agree with the bone structure.

So, now, thanks to the infinite wisdom of OSH, we have barriers.

Now please OSH, could you attend to the boat ramp. Sometimes the water seems to go away, and the bottom of the ramp is green and slippery. Somebody foolishly made the ramp of concrete. This combination is seriously challenging to my coccyx (tailbone).
Could we please have some hand rails and a rubber coating applied? Also, just in case I back too far, perhaps a guard rail across the end of the ramp. You know, just like at the dump.
