Hot tubs are awesome. There is no reason in the world to get rid of something as super-desirable as a hot tub. Dammit, I love hot tubs. I love that hot tub. I love this hot tub:

I dig this hot tub:

And even this hot tub:

So why do so many people want to get rid of their hot tubs?
Well, I can think of a couple reasons.
A. It is broken beyond repair. Owning a hot tub that is broken beyond repair is a lot like having a car on blocks in your back yard. I can see wanting to get rid of that. I suspect the thinking goes like this: “Hey, I have this enormous useless device in the backyard. It’s not as cool as the Edsel we turned into a doghouse, and it’s really impeding my croquet training. Let’s get rid of it.”
B. The hot tub has been sitting in the back yard for 8-15 years, and after all that indulgence – the wine, the slap-and-tickle, the toe incident with the super-hot neighbor – the idea of going back into it ever again is nauseating. It’s a heated swamp, swimming with memories of your ethical shortcomings – not to mention the bacteria that have made themselves at home and evolved there. I understand: you just . . . can’t . . . even . . . look at it anymore.
So it’s either broken, depressing, septic, or all of the above. You call the hauling company – “$300? Just to take it away? Let me see if I can find some sucker on craigslist to take it.”
The curious part is whether anyone has ever made a serious call to collect one of these. “OK, it doesn’t work, it smells like a sewage treatment plant, and it will take a rented truck and four hired hands to move it? I’ll be right over.”
