It's bin night in my neighbourhood.
I put the bin out a few hours earlier, then just remembered some more stuff I wanted to put in. It wasn't late, about 8:30.
I get to my bin and one of my neighbours has put a large garbage bag of stuff in my bin. Now, luckily I still had room for my stuff, but for some reason, I still feel its poor form to do this, unless you actually ask, or at least know the person well enough to know they would be cool with it (or you have some sort of pre-arranged understanding). Probably making it worse, I suspect its the douchebag next door who I'm not really fond of.
It's not the end of the world, just lacking courtesy IMO. I know that people will say I don't own the bin and once it's on the street its fair game, but I also pay for the right to use it, and in a worse case scenario, if something get put in that shouldn't, I am the one who can get in shit with council.
What do others think? Sorry if this really exciting off-season topic has been discussed before!
