If you can do it when you don't 'need' to, your going to be outstanding, when you do!

I was walking towards a shared house with a friend. Two doors away I let him move on and reached over the garden wall and took an old ornate mirror from their trashcan. My friend had gone ahead and opened the door. I walked past him with the mirror under my arm and hung it on the nearest unused picture hook.
This all happened in less than a minute but he was surprised, as in "where the hell did you get that"
He'd walked right past it, didn't notice it sat there in full view. I've wondered since if his chronically bad eyesight (glasses since early childhood) had made him use his vision less. Something like, rely on it less, I don't know how to express this clearly.

Scrounging is mostly down to luck, spelled L.O.O.K.
