To think it's skanky if you can afford designer jewellery and you...

fly tip your rubbish.

Found Armani packaging (watches I think) in the pile of rubbish dumped in the alleyway behind our house. So whoever's done it is obviously wealthy enough, they just don't give a fuck.

I just want to vent really. It's not on. I've got a good idea who did it too, but I can't prove anything.

Anyone who fly tips is an irredeemable piece of shit.

vodkaredbullgirl · 04/08/2020 20:11

Could be stole, dumped the boxes and got away.

Fly tippers are the scum of the earth.

Anyone caught flytipping should be sentenced to detention on a landfill site for at least a month.

Marmite27 · 04/08/2020 20:12

Fakes or stolen? Horrible either way.

Royalbloo · 04/08/2020 20:12

They may have paid someone to dispose of it and they've dumped it but YA still not BU

Well these people are skanks for fly tipping. But being skint wouldn’t be an excuse to fly tip. Wealth is irrelevant - littering or fly tipping makes you a dick.

OchonAgusOchonO · 04/08/2020 20:13

So it's acceptable to fly tip if you can't afford designer stuff? Fly tipping is skanky full stop. It doesn't matter what it is.

Although if you found packaging from multiple watches, I would say they were more likely to have been stolen.

BalloonSlayer · 04/08/2020 20:13

You'd think if you'd stolen them you'd keep the boxes.

Dollywilde · 04/08/2020 20:13

I’m surprised it’s flytipped to be honest, I thought designer packaging was in demand as people then pedal fakes inside of authentic packaging.

UnfinishedSymphon · 04/08/2020 20:14

It's disgusting. There's charity shop near me that has been closed since March, there are signs on the door saying not to leave anything. I went past this morning and you can barely see the shop front because of all the shite that's been dumped. Most of it looks like household rubbish as a number of the bags have split.

Utter scum

Dollywilde · 04/08/2020 20:14

FWIW if we’re on the subject of fly tipping, I live in an area that is quite bad for it and last week I came across a huge stash of Il Divo CDs someone had dumped Grin definitely the weirdest flytip I’ve seen so far!

DaphneFanshaw · 04/08/2020 20:21

Buying designer gear is different to having class and or a social conscience.
People that fly tip simply don’t care.
YANBU though, it’s really annoying.

Viviennemary · 04/08/2020 20:25

More like theft I'd say.

TwentyViginti · 04/08/2020 20:28

I thought Armani was chavvy anyway?

They are either knock offs or nicked, 100%

thepeopleversuswork · 04/08/2020 20:46

It's skanky either way. Neither here nor there whether its designer.

FlamingoAndJohn · 04/08/2020 20:46

It could be that someone has paid for a load of junk to be taken to the tip but they dumped it.

GrumpyHoonMain · 04/08/2020 20:48

Flytipping is usually done by builders or those paid for disposing waste.

It's called recycling.
WhirleyGiggler · 04/08/2020 20:51

Reckon they have been stolen

DonLewis · 04/08/2020 20:53

Love the word skanky. Skanky. Skanky. If you say it too many times though it gets weird.

You're, of course, quite right. They may have paid someone to get rid of it and they've dumped it. Legally though, it's still their waste and their responsibility to check the company have a license.
