To throw half a rice cake into strangers bin?

I don’t care if people use my bin, as long as it’s not a bag full. Better in there than on the floor. Carrying rubbish around is a pain with little ones, easier to throw it away. And it’s not like half a rice cake takes up any space.

I would have thought you rude and entitled, especially after your reaction, but wouldn't come out my house especially to say something. I also don't see why you couldn't have put it in your pocket until you got home.

If it's in an alleyway she probably gets stuff dumped in her bin all the time. I wouldn't have made a fuss if it was my bin, but I would never put rubbish in someone else's bin, I bring my rubbish home if there are no bins about.

Seriously- some of you really have an issue with someone putting half a rice cake in a big bin outside your house? This is so weird to me. A big bag of rubbish would obviously be annoying, but the odd wrapper or whatever? Meh.

If it isn't emptied because of it then yes, you care.

Unsure which bit you are questioning -

1. I wouldn't put any rubbish in someone else's bin, including a rice cake

1. I haven't found a rice cake in my bin so far to be mad about but will let you know if/when it happens and how I feel

As I said, I wouldn't care that much to yell at someone

Christ there are some barmy comments on here. It was a rice cake and half of one at that!!

I can’t believe anyone actually cares about someone putting waste in their bin! It’s a bin, that’s what it’s for, not storing valuables. People put stuff in my bin all the time, including dog poo and I couldn’t care less.

And how did she expect you to get it out?! I wouldn’t be able to reach down into a wheelie bin to get anything out unless it was right on the top.

good god it's a baby rice cake it's nothing! this thread is insane. I regularly don't bother to pick up bits of rice cake my baby has thrown from the pram if we are somewhere with lots of birds..

YABU.
The woman just saw you lob something in HER bin! She wouldn't have a clue it was a rice cake, dog shit, used nappy or something else.

Yes- after she had to ask you, you claimed it was a rice cake, but how would she know that was the truth?
You could have left it on the back/bottom of the pram to take home or put in a public bin!

Are people seriously concerned about half a rice cake going in their bin? A rice cake? Bloody hell 😂 it’s a bin!

Wouldn't care as long as they use the right bin. Rubbish in my garden bin gives me the rage. They are side by side, against my outside wall so it's really not hard

It's fine. It's a small thing. Dog poo is different or chucking a whole bag of rubbish in there as it takes up space they turn can't use and dog poo could go everywhere. I'd rather people put it in the bin than littered the street.

But it's fine that the owner of the bin has to do it for you to get the bin sorted? Great attitude.

Fish and a rice cake.

Fucking hell, mightily pissed off really?

A rice cake? 😂

😂

I would’ve probs just left on the floor. Some animal would eat it no doubt!

such a weird thing to get upset over. As long as someone isn’t shitting in my bin I couldn’t give a toss

You were really rude. Nothing goes in my bin unless it’s bagged up to make cleaning it easier. I don’t want anyone loose in it, especially food that’s going to rot.

Do you live somewhere where rubbish goes in black sacks in the bin? If so totally unreasonable to throw anything in on top of a bin bag as it could make the bin dirty. You're not going to scrub manky wet rice cake out the bottom of the bin are you?

Honestly OP, people are Batshit. What a petty thing to get worked up about and she should be embarrassed at her lack of kindness.

Actually we paid for our Wheely bin, so it is ours, not the Councils. The tiny ones were free, the usual sized ones were £35.

We have to put stuff in black sacks, so I am guessing your half a rice cake would have slid off the bag to the bottom of the bin, requiring me to fish it out later.

I probably wouldn't have had a go as I don't like confrontation, but I would have been mightily pissed off with you

If you did that to my bin, the binmen wouldn't take it. Anything not in a black bag and they refuse it and you were extremely rude to refuse to remove it when asked to. Disgusting example to set for your child.

You don’t live in space. People complaining about this are mad.

My area has changed to fortnightly collections and residents who want a bigger bin have been charged £38 for one.
Some families can’t afford that and are trying to make do but are struggling with the smaller bin being emptied every 14 days rather than the previous 7.
I can imagine strangers putting rubbish in their bin would be annoying.
