We had a major clear out of ex housemate’s crap that they had left behind over the weekend. Ending up with about 25 bin bags full, not to mention x3 mattresses, all manor of pieces of wood, a rusty bike and car parts.
As it was bin day today we decided it would be good to get them to take all the bin bags. Fearing that they would not the decision was made to partake in a stealth bin mission at around 10.00pm to deposit the bags that we could not fit in our bin into those of the surrounding houses.
Mission completed 10.15pm
Next mission to shop to get celebration ben and jerry’s.
The Result:
On our return from the shop we witnessed the 2 houses opposite returning the bin bags to the front of our house, 3 in total. I was shocked to say the least. Yes maybe a little cheeky to use their bin. However, I really thought they especially would appreciate to have the eye sore of the rubbish dump that became our front garden to be removed. Even more pissed off by the fact that the lady had already been sifting through the junk and taking bits home with her. I almost felt obliged to knock on her door on that time of night and ask for them back.
I think what the final straw for me was that they actually made me feel bad for trying to clean our street. And now have no wish to see my neighbours.
Are people really that precious about a bin and the use of it for their rubbish disposal only?

i think it is actually against the law to use someone elses bin without permission...
but yeah, bin there (get it? ), done that, got the t-shirt. only we were proffesional about it and took them on to the next street's bins to avoid repercussions, and dumped quite a few of them in the big spa bin at the end of the road!
moral of the story:
1) take them on to a different street, then if they remove the bags, you don't care as its not your street.
2) do it later than 10pm, wait until they are in bed (we did our covert mission at about 2am). that way they won't notice you doing it and won't know any different
