The clothing thing seems to have gone from a passing comment to something that may need help. No one notices someone wearing something 2 days in a row, wearing pjs 2 days in a row is completely normal and to be shamed for it is really not normal. The only place I've seen this stringent was a family with an immune-compromised baby so very strict.
With the rubbish, I truly wish there was one set of rules. Everywhere I've lived and worked has had different rules- I was a nanny for many years so had to know the rules of the house I worked in and my own. I lived on the same road as my boss once but had different rules as it was another area technically.
Where I am right now I literally can't have any rubbish taken away, the quirk of my flat's location means the closest place to put rubbish out is several hundred yards around my row of flats, up and down stairs so can't use a wheelie bin, which this area won't even take! I have a metal bin with no lid- I'm disabled and can't even lift it, let alone navigate it down the alleys with my stick too! It would need to go on a very busy main road too so I can't leave it there or put it out in advance due to wildlife. I've had to become an expert in making very little waste, it is just me here but more rubbish than average due to medical waste and reliance on packaged ready meals etc due to my physical issues. I take out one carrier bag a week to a local bin, not ideal but my only option, and my dad takes any recycling to the tip or add to their bin as there is no where within reach I can take it to. Really wish more supermarkets had recycling or anywhere really, nothing close to me.
Off topic but one thing I saw abroad I wish we had here was large item collections- you rang the council, paid and printed a label and once a month they took double mattresses, wardrobes, fridges, anything with the label on!
