He's actually pretty happy most of the time, just not much of a "team player." He has his own agenda. I can empathize.
He likes to call people names, but is inconsistent. Bob is "Smiley" because he smiles a lot. Maria is "Skinny" because she is so thin. But then Gordon, who is bald (usually), is "Curly." Something's backwards. Like either Gordon should be "Bald Brain" or Maria should be "Thunder Thighs." What did he call the deaf girl, I wonder?
Also, in spite of his "grouchy" reputation, he seems to generally want to socialize. Always popping out of his can to be the third wheel in a conversation. and like most everyone on Sesame Street, he liked children. He had "Grouchketeers." (Way cooler than the "Birdketeers," as everyone knows.)
He also really liked Victor Borge for some reason. Except for one weird moment where he tried to BITE him.

and now the trash thing. Does he really like "trash?" His idea of garbage is fairly sanitary. It's usually crumpled up old newspapers or worn out sneakers. I don't imagine he would be fond of used kleenex or a stack of unused paper bags that got all wet and moldy.

He has at times mentioned that he likes rotten fruit and animal heads. "My turtle head collection!" I guess that stuff technically counts as "trash" but it's fairly creepy.
He also seems to be one of the puppets that celebrities and journalists most want to meet.
I am waiting for my chance.
Now SCRAM!
