To think the bloke who told me off for taking grit out of the grit bin should fuck off

This morning, I had to get my elderly neighbour to a hospital appointment. She has bone cancer in both hips. Her drive way was very slippery this morning. A fall for her could be fatal. She's on crutches.

I drove to the nearest grit bin I could find, filled a bag for life, probably a quarter full and put it down on her front door step, drive way and the pavement outside her property.

As I was putting it into my bag a bloke stopped and reprimanded me, telling me it's not for private use. I explained the situation and but he wasn't interested.

What an absolute cock.

I had no idea it wasn't for public use! What is it for then? Grit lorries don't come down my road so why are there grit bins? It's been decades since I've used one but growing up in 90s everyone went to the grit bin and worked together to do the pavements and drives etc. has it changed?
