Wheelie Bin Princesses

[reallifegetsintheway2]

In my naice middle class area, there are multiple able bodied wheelie bin princesses who think that putting out the bins is a 'blue' job i.e. male (obviously if in male / female relationship). Worst still is those princesses who either walk past them when they return home in the car or with the pram / kids from school and wait for their (male) partner to bring them in. I admit they annoy me more. For reference, I do both, as does DH, and I am female.
Yabnu - it is a gender neutral job
Yabu - get a life, reallife

I have a bin wanker neighbour opposite.
I leave my green bin out till I have a black bag needing to go in it.
Simply because I know it drives them crazy.

But the easiest thing for them to do would be to get over it and leave people and their bins alone.

YABU to worry about what other people do. Sometimes the bin won’t fit by our car so has to be lifted over a small wall so I leave it for DH due to bad back.
Sometimes my hands are full with other things.
I’m not sure it really matters to anyone else??

Ok so haven't RTFT but I leave the bin for my DH to do, I do every sodding thing else. I work 3 jobs, the food shopping, the finances, the housework, the driving, sort the childcare for when they are not at school and I am working, birthdays, Christmas etc etc etc. All I expect him to do is the bins, the litter tray and get the kids up in a morning and ready for school (because I am already at work), so yeah I walk past the bin because it is his job, if I start doing it for him I will end up being the one to always do it.

Don’t you just leave the bin out of the street and throw your garbage out of the window into it.

10 points if it goes in, 5 if it hits and bounces

Hope you get equally annoyed about all the men on your street who never take their kids to school or pick them up, never pack lunches, and never do the weekly food shop or the laundry. I know some men who can’t even cook a simple meal! If their wife goes away for a weekend or is out for the night, she has to prepare a meal for so the hapless man-child doesn’t starve.

Able-bodied grown men capable of holding down full time jobs but not even able to feed themselves.

That is a far more troubling division of labour than women who don’t take out their bins.

I don’t do the bins. The lack of our back gate is dodgy and I always trap my finger in it so I leave it for DH. If I arrive home from somewhere and the bin is out I leave it, because getting it in involves going in the house, finding the gate key, coming back out again, undoing them dodgy lock, dragging the bin round to the back of the house, locking the dodgy lock, and taking the key back inside.
I also don’t cook. That’s DH’s job.

Unless it's very heavy, it's our 6 year old DS that takes our bin in and out so both me and OH have to leave it out until DS is back from school or else there are tears 😂

My point is, if 6 year old can do it, so can any able-bodied adult. There isn't many 'boys jobs' I can't do and I'm 5ft, fat and not all that healthy. If a couple decides to divide chores it's entirely up to them, though.

Each to their own, I say.

YABU 😂 I can't believe you've even paid attention to your neighbours chores.

The question wasn't about nosiness. It was a question asking if it is a gender neutral job, regardless of what any neighbours are doing.

In other words, is it sexist to assume that men are only to do the bins? Some people have fairly commented that each household may have chores shared out between them, which could invalidate any claim to gender discrimination. Nonetheless, in general is it a gender neutral job?

Okay judgey pants

I live in a naice area.
I don't do wheelie bins.
I walk past said wheelie bins.
I am seemingly a 'wheelie bin princess'

However I do

Sort all.Electrics in house such as rewiring
Do all gardening
Do all Decorating and DIY (DH by own admission is useless)
Plastered living room
Tiled bathroom
So most of cooking (DH can only
Reheat things)
Sort most of non obvious cleaning out (Wouldn't occur to DH that a skirting board needs a wipe)
Organise bills
There's more but I'm hoping I made my point already

I live in a naice area.
Why did you lead with this?

Defo a man's job.

Disappointing thread. I thought you are all wearing your best Disney frock to take the wheelie bin out.

Dh puts the bins out.
I walk past them and don't even consider taking them in.
Just like he walks past the laundry basket and doesn't even consider putting a wash on.
Hope that helps.

I’m 1000% a wheelie bin princess!! And absolutely love it!!
DH is shite at most other things around the home so I’ll let him keep that little job!
You sound a bit of a dick OP sorry.

Defo a man's job.

There’s no man in my household. How am I supposed to get the bins emptied?

Identify as one. 😂

YABU. It's my husbands job to do the bins. Why should I do it for him? He doesn't do my jobs for me!
