The caller thinks that the company was amused by 1 his resumé, and then threw his resumé in the trash 2.
1 was amused by: "To have a good laugh (at or about something)" is to be amused or entertained by it. Example: We had a good laugh at the joke Bob told us. This idiom can also express the sense of mocking or teasing someone, as it does in this dialogue. In this context, the caller believes that whoever received his CV was entertained by it, or thought it was stupid.
1 was shocked by: To be "shocked by something" is to be surprised or offended by it. Example: I was shocked to learn that almost half of the population does not have medical insurance. To "have a good laugh" about something does not share a similar meaning with this expression.
1 ignored: To "have a good laugh (at or about something)" does not share a similar meaning with "ignoring" it. To "ignore" something is to disregard it, or to pay no attention to it. Example: We ignored what he was saying and continued with our conversation.
1 was annoyed with: To be "annoyed" is to be unhappy or frustrated. Example: I was annoyed with the constant ringing of the telephone. "To have a good laugh" about something does not share a similar meaning with the term "annoyed".
2 threw his resumé in the trash: To "toss something in the bin" is to throw it away, or dispose of it in the garbage, or trash. The verb "to toss" indicates physically throwing something. A "bin" is a type of receptacle or container, often for rubbish or garbage. Example: All of our garbage goes into the bins behind the building.
2 placed his resumé in a filing cabinet: A "filing cabinet" is a piece of furniture used for storing and organizing papers and files. Example: We bought a second filing cabinet because we needed more space for our files. A "filing cabinet" is not a "bin", and the expression "to toss (something) in the bin" is to throw it away (in the rubbish or garbage).
2 put his resumé in the paper shredder: A "paper shredder" is a device used for destroying documents by "shredding them", or cutting them into small pieces. Documents with sensitive information are often shredded after they are no longer needed. A "paper shredder" is different than a "bin", and the expression "to toss (something) in the bin" is to throw it away (in the rubbish or garbage).
2 posted his resumé in a public place: To "post (information)" is to display it publicly. Information can be posted on a billboard, on the Internet or on a wall. Example: The new office policy on smoking was posted on the bulletin board in the lounge. To "post information" does not share a similar meaning with the expression "to toss something in the bin", which means to throw it away (in the rubbish or garbage).

The verb "to turn" is the best term to describe the act of changing directions while driving. "Overturn" can't be used in this way.
In a legal context, the verb "to overturn" means to invalidate, reverse or cancel a decision. If a decision is overturned, it indicates that it was established previously.
An "overturned" object has turned to its end or its side, "to overturn" an object is to place it on its side. The rubbish bin which had been standing vertically is now on its side or even completely upside down. "Overturned" is used here in the same sense as in the broadcast: the truck was on its side and causing traffic problems near the Golden Gate Bridge. In this sentence, the speaker has fallen after colliding with a rubbish bin (a receptacle for trash or garbage).
In British English, one "turns over" from one television channel to another. In American English, one "turns" or "changes" the channel. The verb "overturn" cannot be used to describe the action of changing the channel.

This is a false statement. Brent tells us that after the break they are interviewing "a real vampire from Transylvania". A "vampire" is one of the living dead, who feed off of human blood according to the legends. Count Dracula, the most famous of all vampires, is believed to have lived in Transylvania, a region of Romania. Don't confuse Transylvania with a "transvestite", a person who likes to dress up in the clothes traditionally worn by the opposite sex.
This is a true statement. Brent tells us that one Halloween he wore a hot dog costume, got chased by a neighbor's dog and had to "hide in a dumpster all night". A "dumpster" is a large rubbish bin (UK) or garbage can (US). "To hide (oneself)" is to conceal oneself, or to go somewhere where one cannot be seen.
This is a true statement. Moira wants to know "about the contest". A "contest" is another name for a "competition". Radio Rhubarb is accepting emails from its listeners and will give a prize to the listener with the "scariest" (or most frightening) story. Brent tells us that the prize is a "trip for two to a haunted castle in Scotland". A "trip" is a "voyage", "journey" or "holiday".
This is a false statement. Brent asks Moira how they celebrate Halloween in Scotland. Moira replies that "it's pretty much the same as in America actually". If one thing is "pretty much the same" as another it means that they are similar, or that there are no major differences between them. According to Moira, Scottish people celebrate Halloween in more or less the same way as Americans.
