And am I wrong for having a little chuckle every time I walk past

It's a fucking bin! I was pissed off when a postman put a parcel in the bin once , but rubbish - that's literally what the fucking thing is for! Not sure if they're an MNer, but they might be a loon!

Write a note that says "fair enough, sorry about that"


Screw it up and put it in their bin

I am disappointed. I thought you'd overheard your neighbour shouting at her DH that they need to get the washing in before it gets darked on.

That's what I thought FatOldBag we all pay council tax so what's the problem?

And that's brilliant blerp I might have to sneak it in though Blush the lady at 216 is scary.

Oh! I expected a slanging match over the fence with both of you claiming 'it's not me who's being U - it's you who's being totally U'. But it turns out to be a message on a bin. Nah, sorry, OP!

Isn't a note like that a red rag to a bull?

If I lived there, I would create a small montage by hanging a piece of red rag out of the bin with a photo of a bull pinned to it (or even better a plastic bull). They probably wouldn't get it but my own wit would amuse me no end.

My neighbour put a huge bag of Chinese takeaway cartons in my wheelybin last week, so I hung them on her door (address on the receipt) and stuck a very polite note through asking her not to do it, complete with passive aggressive smiley face. Probably wouldnt have bothered, but it filled my bin up and I needed the space for my own rubbish, and it was ages until bin day.
Besides, it should have gone in recycling.

I leave my bin out all the time - I get less rubbish and fewer dog poo bags in the hedge if I do Sad

Sunnysouthend the bins recently get quite a lot of public rubbish but not so much that they overflow, well at least not our end of the road. I think the note is a bit extreme though regardless. It was already written in marker pen before they stuck the note on. And the writing is a bit psychotic with all the mixed lowercase and uppercase.

I have written that kind of note in the past Blush . The council fined any overflowing bins, so neighbours would dump their bags in ours so they didn't get fined, leaving us with less room. It's really annoying!

Saw a note when out walking the dog:

Do NOT put any wine bottles in this bin!! We do not drink ANY alcohol!!

As if the bin lorries care what's in your bin 😀

Tiggy - yep, I'm in one of those areas. Mini wheelybin and they won't collect if there's recyclable stuff in the bin. It's a real pain in the arse when you dont drive and can't get to the tip

LEAVE THE BIN

Well if she is a MNer, she's going to be delighted when she sees you have gone to all the trouble of posting about her Confused

NotBarry our bin service is decent actually, we don't get fined for overflowing bins the bin men will sometimes leave an extra bin instead. A man comes before the truck too and moves the bins out past the curb and in between the parked cars and there's usually loads of space in the bins if you catch them at that point to chuck your extras in. I've been renovating my house and haven't had to hire a skip for our rubbish because I just catch the bin men every 2 weeks and they're all quite friendly.

When I was a teen I got told off by neighbours a few times for putting a crisp packet or similar in various bins as I walked past. I never understood it. It's a bin, that's what it's for!

Tiggy & sheraaaahhhh we get normal every two weeks. Some houses have 2 some have one. The only things that aren't allowed are bulk items, building waste unless you have a cheeky chat every week and let them use your loo, or soil.
