Media Platforms Design TeamSomewhere out there, there’s a garbage truck driver named Jack who is very good at his job, and also has a great time doing it. In a truck equipped with an automated side loader (normally meant to grab and dump wheeled trashbins, like so), Jack decided to go after the ultimate target: a discarded bed mattress.View full post on YoutubeAfter carefully positioning the mattress using the truck’s claw, Jack manages to grab the thing (which flops around like a live fish the entire time, trying to escape the claw’s grasp) and slams it into his bin. This is one video where you wanna make sure you have the sound on—half the fun is hearing Jack’s pure enthusiasm for his amazing feat. As Jack himself screams: “Ah! I’m awesome!” After a momentary pause to consider what he’s just done, he adds in thoughtfully, “Aw, I’m so cool.” Hard to argue with him.Jake SwearingenDeputy EditorJake Swearingen is deputy editor at PopularMechanics.com.
