Less legendary, but I was there for this one:
Had to rent a truck at the end of college to move myself and two friends out of an apartment. We swung by the main campus on our way out to find, as many know, literally everything you might think of just laying in piles. Since we had extra space in the truck we loaded in around 25 TVs and computer monitors, an air conditioner, and a few decent-quality pieces of furniture. The screens we sold for cash when we got to our destination, and I had the furniture for probably 10 years.
The stuff people through out because it's inconvenient to keep or transport is mind-boggling.
