Do you ever look worse than when you are putting out the bins?

[DownUnder87]

I'm not saying I'm ever top of the sartorial pops, but just caught myself running in there and the ensemble is not flattering in any way

there was a brilliant FB group last year, started by Australians, where people wore different outfits to take the bin out.

I can't remember the exact title but it was utterly hilarious

I usually end up sticking my flip flops on over my socks. Such an attractive look.

I’m pretty sure putting the bins out is the highlight of my month so I am usually in a bra and hence.. winning!

I look relatively decent bringing them in, because I am a slattern and leave it out until I'm coming back from somewhere

it was called "Bin Isolation Outing"

look it up. so much fabulousness. the person who started got an award

What! Your bins are monthly?!!! How big are they!

Aussies do everything the best

I can probably take it a level lower than the bin run (which is always early morning and wearing nothing but a very thin dressing gown, flip flops and a scowl.

Mowing the lawn fortnightly, which I would usually do after some cardio, before a shower.

Literally just done mine in pjs ,hair slacked back, no make up. Great!

Chasing after postmen/couriers. Often in my bare feet and/or a towel. They turn up at the worst times.

At least you know when you're putting the bins out!

I had DH's trainers on without being tied and the heels down Cheap old pyjama bottoms and a hoodie with holes in, hair scraped back and only the make up that survived today's mask and sweat.

It's a glamourous life girls.

Wait! Is that not normal attire for bin-duties??

I had this the other morning. Chucked something in recycling just as next door were coming back from walking their dogs. PJ's dressing gown, unbrushed, unwashed hair. She just smiled at me looking effortless

Back in 2009/10 big freeze our bind weren't collected for 2 weeks and there was no word of when they would be. One morning I awoke to the melodious sound of the bin lorry and rushed out in my mismatched pj's to put them out. The entire street was out in their nightwear in a panic. You kind of had to be there but absolutely no one was looking polished. It was most amusing.

Who cares?

I've no interest in being attractive for any of my neighbours or the bin men. If I can't be a slob at home then what's the point!

The Hermes delivery bloke got a real treat the other morning. Holey PJs, no bra and holding back an excitable spaniel (my boobs hung lower than said spaniel’s ears). It’s all glamour round our gaff.

Oh good it's not just me then! Holey tshirt, no bra, crappy pj bottoms, hair looking like I've been sleeping rough for a week and someone's trainers shoved on.

This week I had the added bonus of my 2 smallest dogs rushing out before me, straight out of the gate that was somehow wide open! So there was me haring down the street after them holding my boobs down to stop them flapping about, lost a trainer, and bugger me some bloody lovely looking bloke had corralled my daft dogs at the bottom of the street. He had a donut. Say no more really. I run up to him puffing and panting, wheezing out a 'thank you'. I must've looked a right sight 😂

I have a bath first thing normally so when I put the bins out I have wet unbrushed hair , vest top, no bra, leggings, dhs trainers (I'm size 4, he's a size 9) and dhs oversized hoody

So far I've accidentally flashed the milkman, postman and the ASDA delivery man.

The bald, grey haired, saggy bollocked man opposite my house flashes the bin men virtually every time.

I had to run out with the bin this morning, it was about 11 oclock and i was in my pjs.

The bin man very kindly took it form me and walked it up the road to the lorry.

I don’t put our bins out but 99% of the time I look like someone putting the bins out. I am a state.

I was just leaving for work at 7am one morning and realised the garden waste lorry was there and our bin wasn't out. I was wearing make up, white pumps and a smart midi dress as I legged it up the drive and wheeled the huge bin back down it. I might have been the most glamorous bin putter-outer they saw that day.

Dressing gown and slippers, having not be awake long, usually in a bit of a panic because I forgot to do it the night before. So yeah, pretty rough looking.

Well I have to blow my own trumpet here. I look pretty cute because I put them out in my jammies & I treat myself to lovely jammies.

I have "bin shoes" only ever worn for taking the bin out. Or emergency dashes outside. And no, not crocs

I’m about to put mine out, I’m braless, in PJ’s and will be wearing the always flattering socks and sandals combo.

The worst was during lockdown last year, we had ordered a bike store and it arrived at about 12pm. I was still in my PJ’s thanks to home schooling and home working, and in desperate need of a shower when it arrived. We lived in a main road with the only set of traffic lights in town 100 yards up the road, it was the only day of the year they had a queue thanks to lockdown. The box was taller than me (I’m 5’8), so wide I couldn’t get my arms around it and it was pouring with rain. I was quite the sight trying to get it through the front door.
