To get irriated by someone using my bin?

For the past 2 weeks, I have put my bin out for the binmen on a tuesday night (as they come early on wednesday morning) and when I look out of the window before I got to bed, someone else has piled it right up with their own rubbish bags!

I was annoyed when it happened for the first time last week but last night I was really pissed off as the bin men do not have to take the bins if they're overflowing!

I have used my neighbours bin before when mine was stolen but I ASKED FIRST!

AIBU?

No you are NBU. could you hide in it and pop up 'jack in a box' style when they try to put their bags in it?

missingtheaction · 26/11/2008 10:52

no you are not

it is totally unreasonable

keep a watch next week!

smugmarried · 26/11/2008 10:52

No YANBU - take the bags out and put them on the pavement

stick a note on the inside of your bin lid, on a large piece of paper..

"STOP USING MY BIN, YOU BASTARD!!!"

I am going to watch it closely next week to see who is doing it but I suspect it's my new neihbours (semi detached, they're in the house NOT attached so a fair distance away). Since they moved in, they have also allowed their dog to roam the streets and I have found dog shit in my garden

Someone keeps putting single used nappies in our bin. For the life of me I can't work it out - presumably, it is not somebody that lives on my street since they could just go inside to change their baby and be considerably more comfortable, but why would a random passer by consistently choose to put single nappies in my bin, when since it's a tiny terrace, there's no where to even put your baby down to change them.

People are weird freaks.

I like the idea of the note. Or possibly one of those locks.

I suspect it's a revenge attack by the neighbour you jumped out at from behind the bush.

hecate · 26/11/2008 11:07

jumped from behind a bush? eh?

I had neighbours who used to do that because "It was saving work for the poor binman" I think it was more a case of "We do not want them to see how much rubbish we produce". anyhow, they stopped when they realised we were onto them.

That will happen a lot more when they start charging you for the amount of rubbish. It happens here because people who have too much for their wheelie bin put it in the large communal bin for our flats. You can't see iour bin for the piles of rubbish around it.

The single nappy I reckon will be someone who parks their car there and changes baby inside it before going to the shops or whatever

My neighbour has done this, and i've watched her do it in clear daylight!! Then she hadn't even tied up the bin bag she'd put inside it, and becasue my bin was already full to the top it meant the lid was propped open by her bag, and the rubbish started to fall onto my driveway!!!!
