To think this is cheeky as fuck?

[ValiantMouse]

Sitting in McDonald's car park earlier and a chap in a van pulled up. He got out and started pulling loads of rubbish from said van (cans, bottles, papers and such), stuck it in a carrier bag, dumped it next to one of the bins and then drove off!

I thought it was really rude of him- the staff have enough to do without having to lug his waste into the bin! Especially as he hadn't even bought anything!

I got the registration number and gave it to the manager bur the friend I was with thinks I'm being unreasonable. Am I?

[BeverlyGoldberg]

It's cheeky but better than littering. I think you have too much time on your hands though!

[Spartak]

Perhaps you could patrol the nearby streets gathering descriptions of people who are chucking their Maccies rubbish on the ground and give them to the manager? They could then keep a special eye out and refuse to serve them.

[Crazypetlady]

Not worth a second thought. Sorry o.p but you're friend is right I would also be a bit dubious about meeting up with you in future tutting to yourself fine but giving in his reg number is complete over kill.

[unlucky83]

Guess it is slightly different but my car is often a dumping ground for rubbish from DCs ...
If I'm parked somewhere waiting for someone/thing, at a loose end I'll gather all the rubbish together and stick it in the nearest street bin ...(but not someone's wheelie bin)
Sometimes I do dump it in my bin but I have to park on the road quite away from my house and often have too much to carry to carry rubbish too..
And our nearest macdonalds have their own small car park, which is a pain to park on cos you have to back out etc in the queue for the drive through etc...so most people who go there park on the adjacent carpark which is for the retail park...
Although there are several street bins on the car park it used to be awash with Macdonalds rubbish and it is only for the last few years I've noticed someone from Macdonalds picking it up and the bins now have a sponsored by macdonalds or something signs on them...
Just think of all the times you see packaging from them (and similar fast food places) littering lay-bys/hedges - that guys rubbish is nothing compared to what it must cost the LAs to clean that up ...

[ChasingPavements]

It's all clearly bonkers as conkers.

[HermioneJeanGranger]

I've never seen a more dramatic thread about bins in my life!

[TeapotDictator]

I can't stop reading it either Worra I cannot get my head around the amount of 'giving a fuck' the OP is doing about something so utterly, utterly, irrelevant.

OP you have no idea what circumstances led this "excuse-for-a-human-being" to do something so monumentally outrageous as to leave his OWN rubbish beside a bin that wasn't his. Okay the chances are he was being a bit lazy and nothing else, but you just don't know, do you? How much adrenaline and cortisol has your body pointlessly pumped around your system today over your judgment of something you essentially know nothing about?

[AskBasil]

LOL.

Yes it is cheeky.

But so what? It doesn't do any harm.

The staff are paid to clean up so one more bag of rubbish really doesn't bother them (and yes I have worked in a burger bar, I didn't give a shit about how many bags of rubbish I had to clear up, rubbish is rubbish).

[BerylStreep]

I'm not sure I'd even get worked up if someone put a bag of rubbish in my own bin, let alone McDonalds.

[WorraLiberty]

This thread is so bizarre, I can't stop reading it

[RudeElf]

having to go out and clean up after such a lazy git!

Having to lift 1 bag?

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

I guess I'm in for another sleepless night, then. Worrying about Maccies and their bins. .

[ValiantMouse]

I couldn't give a shit about Mcdonalds as a whole- it's the staff in that branch I feel sorry for, having to go out and clean up after such a lazy git!

[Branleuse]

poor mcdonalds. I am crying for them

[ForalltheSaints]

Cheeky yes, but as it was McDonalds seems justice, for all the muck they have inflicted on the world.

[GloryGrant]

I think I simply couldn't be bothered to be bothered.

[ValiantMouse]

If you're taking the time to put everything in a carrier bag, then why not put it into the fucking bin rather than leaving it on the floor to spread rubbish everywhere? The bin was empty- I'd been over a couple of minutes before to put my food wrappers in.

I also don't understand why so many of you think it's okay to dump rubbish on a company who has to pay to have their waste taken away. It's rude and entitled.

This took place in a town with a tip that's open 7 days a week!

[CrushedNinjas]

YANBU OP. I'd have reported if I'd seen them doing it here.
You pay for waste collections privately in Ireland so you see this sort of thing all the time, especially during the summer tourist season.
Stuff dumped next to tiny street rubbish bins.
I was very annoyed when I discovered some fecker had filled our wheelie bin with their crap after it had been emptied but before we'd brought it in. (Matter of a couple of hours, tops.)
It's even more annoying as they weigh the bins and charge you according to the amount of rubbish you chuck.
There are council rubbish sites available but you have to pay to go in (barrier system) and pay extra for chucking certain types of rubbish, mattresses, washing machines etc.

[specialsubject]

round to this persons house, everyone - he/she doesn't mind a front yard full of rubbish, dog excreta and everyone...

clearly plenty on MN are also filthy slobs who see nothing wrong in chucking litter about. And are bringing up their ickle preshuses the same. lovely.

[Spartak]

Lazy, filthy and an arsehole? For not chucking his rubbish out the window. Am I missing something?

[specialsubject]

rubbish goes IN the bin. Next to the bin is not IN the bin. It is windy, it will go everywhere.

dirty litterbug. Doesn't he have a bin at home, or is he too idle to use it? And if this is the UK, there's no excuse - plenty of recycling opportunities too.

so he is lazy and filthy.

[RudeElf]

Ooh what was the cake shop sign?

[betsyderek]

Has anyone got any tickets left for the telltomtit chamionships? It's touch and go between this and the sign in the cake shop (which was laminated you know) and a few others I can't remember no. I think the cake shop has it in the bag personally but this is a close second 🏁

[BitterAndOnlySlightlyTwisted]

Putting your crap next to a bin rather than actually in it is littering. Why couldn't the arsehole take it home with him and put it in his own dustbin?

His problem has suddenly become everyone else's, which seems to be very common nowadays. It's bit like those other arseholes who festoon trees and bushes with their plastic bags of dogshit
