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??

Shameless placemarking so I know how the CF neighbour responds 🍿

Macncheeseballs · 28/06/2021 20:17

Cheeky bugger, but I didn't know bin cleaning was a thing

philadelphiafreedom · 28/06/2021 20:17

I must know how this panned out

NoMoreHGTVPlease · 28/06/2021 20:17

Blatant place mark for the update

DriftGames · 28/06/2021 20:17

OppsUpsSide · 28/06/2021 20:17

Imagine caring so much that a bin outside your house was clean AND being too tight to clean it and both of those feelings/characteristics being so strong in you that you'd steal a neighbours bin and swap the stickers on them… I'd want to send pay from gavin and stacey round 'I'm not being funny but you need to get a life' 😂

Sagaris · 28/06/2021 20:14

Waiting for the update. What a cheeky bastard!

MangosteenSoda · 28/06/2021 20:14

This is grade A+++ CF’ery. I’m a bit impressed Grin

You could probably get a sad face story in your local free paper out of this if you want to bring the big guns on the cheeky councillor.

Nutrigrainygoodness · 28/06/2021 20:14

Oooh hurry up OPs DH 😂😂

Randomness12 · 28/06/2021 20:13

This is madness! Seems like a bizarre thing to do but I agree, he must have done it before. CF!

BigRedDuck · 28/06/2021 20:13

OMG!! That's a proper CF 😳😂

ApolloandDaphne · 28/06/2021 20:13

What a cheeky fucker.

ihtwsf · 28/06/2021 20:12

Straight round.
If you get an unsatisfactory response from him just go and get the bin and take it back. Paint your number on it and swap the stickers over.

Toebean · 28/06/2021 20:12

That is one of the most CF thibgs Ive ever heard. I’d be round there in a flashAngry

annacondom · 28/06/2021 20:11

Ooh awaiting developments.

Crazycakelady17 · 28/06/2021 20:11
