To go round?

We pay a company to clean our bins once a month on bin day. I’m not usually home when they come, but I’m off work today And happened to be in the kitchen. I watched my next door neighbour wait until the cleaner left, take the house number sticker off my bin and put it on his, then swap our bin for his so he had the cleaned bin and I had a non-cleaned one.

He was back in his house before I had time to contain the dog and go outside but now DH is home, WIBU to go round and ask for my bin back??

I would have been after him like a shot. Cheeky bugger.

How does a bin get dirty? Everything’s in bin bags!

Just found this thread and now I need to know what happened!

Def need painted numbers on there! I can't believe the cheek!

Lots of people like me just randomly posting something to wait for the update....Smile

Shamelessly place marking for the update on this CF!

@Oysterbabe

I just can't believe people pay to have their bin cleaned.
Haha yup. £7 a month for both green & black bins and it's worth every penny.
BillyIsMyBunny · 28/06/2021 20:27

Wow! That is definitely CF behaviour.

Howshouldibehave · 28/06/2021 20:27

What a CF!

Babygotblueyes · 28/06/2021 20:26

I scratched my number into the bin - you cant scrape it off like paint or peel it off like a sticker. What happened - updates needed!

Amammai · 28/06/2021 20:26

I bet he was so happy with himself for getting a clean bin without having to pay.

Thehop · 28/06/2021 20:25

Noooooooooooo he did not!!!!!!!!! That’s insane!

BlueSurfer · 28/06/2021 20:25

Glad your DH has gone round. I’d probably use glow in the dark paint as well.

otterbaby · 28/06/2021 20:24

I'm very invested in this Shock

ForeverSausages · 28/06/2021 20:23

My neighbour did exactly the same thing!!! What's worse is a complained to the bin cleaner that it hadn't been cleaned (hadn't seen the sticker swapping happen) and then the following month they did it again!!! I went round and said that if they wanted to have their bins cleaned I could give them the cleaner's details. I then tippex'd our house number on the bin in front of their house. I was raging 🙈😂😂.

WhatTheFlap · 28/06/2021 20:23

I am so keen for the update on this. One of the cheekiest fuckers I’ve seen on here!

RandomCatGenerator · 28/06/2021 20:23

Here for the update on this CF behaviour…

cocoloco987 · 28/06/2021 20:22

That's hilarious. Absolute CF! To be fair it might take you a while to notice - bins containing bin bags generally don't get dirty. I've been here 7 years and never had mine done and it's not smelly or especially dirty so I'd say wouldn't be noticeable for quite a while

Miljea · 28/06/2021 20:22

See, I'd keep my powder dry. I'd make sure I was ready to film next time. Or the time after- he may only want your clean bin every 2 months. Then I'd post it on the local FB page.

That way he a)won't do it again, and b) should lose his councillor job. Which is what needs to happen if he cannot meet the higher moral standards required of public office. Matt.

Shameless place mark too!

Blatant place marking
