My wheelie bin

My bin was out for recycling as was the heavy bag we put paper in for recycling. Both were emptied yesterday, but as I worked from home, I forgot to bring them in. This morning I saw my next door neighbour wheeling the bin past my window to outside of his gate. He didn't take them in on his property. Why are people so weird?

Have you asked him, does your bin have the house number on it

Could it be (and this is a crazy thought) that your neighbour (and please stick with me on this) thought that (just give me a chance here to explain myself) it was his bin?

Sorry if this sounds absolutely bonkers.

You can get bin labels on Amazon and they will save a lot of hassle.

This is the biggest non event I’ve ever heard 😂

My neighbour took the wrong bin in last week. I know this because she left her numbered bin at the end of my driveway.
She then realised and swapped them, and kindly brought my bin up my driveway to my house.
All of this, whilst incredibly dull, was more exciting than your bin story.

I move my neighbours bins off the public path and leave them at the end of my driveway, im not going to take them onto their driveways because they need to park.. Maybe he was moving it so they just arent in the way
