Dumpster diving (recycling bins) story

I hope this is okay to post here. It's a true story,I know because this was me it happened to.
LOL, this is funny, but it scared the crap out of me today.
I went to my local grocery store in search of new blinkie coupons, the pepsi coupons, etc, this morning. After leaving the store, I noticed the recycling bin was half full so I went to check it out and see if I could reach any newspapers. Mind you, these "dumpsters" are huge, larger than one of those big SUVs. Anyway, I went to slide open the doors and when I looked inside there was a man in there! I think I might have woke him up or something, but then again he never did move he was just looking at me with big eyes. I still don't know if he was dead or alive, homeless or a weird-o. I literally freaked out when I saw him. I closed the door and was so freaked out by it, I started hyperventilating. After calming down, I drove home and called hubby at work. He's calling someone somewhere to find out about it. I was more scared and freaked out because if he was some weird-o I had my kids in the car and that is what scared me more. I don't think I will ever do any more dumpster diving there again!
It's funny in a way now that I rethink the whole thing, maybe I should have asked him "hey, while your in there, can you help my find some inserts"? LOL. But seriously, I wouldn't do that...I was too freaked out by it.
So those of you who do this sort of thing, please be careful.

Ack! Omg I would have had a heart attack for sure. I know I would have had one of those voiceless screaming moments and my heart would have been pounding for about an hour!
