To go round?

[JackieWeaversAuthorityHere]

We pay a company to clean our bins once a month on bin day. I’m not usually home when they come, but I’m off work today And happened to be in the kitchen. I watched my next door neighbour wait until the cleaner left, take the house number sticker off my bin and put it on his, then swap our bin for his so he had the cleaned bin and I had a non-cleaned one.

He was back in his house before I had time to contain the dog and go outside but now DH is home, WIBU to go round and ask for my bin back??

@Lalliella

Is he a Tory councillor by any chance?

I thought that too.

Applause for your DH. What a knob that CF NDN is.

Question for the room: what kind of paint do I need to use on this bin? Will any paint do the job?

We used left over gloss on our old bottle bin. Looked last week at the letting advert for our old house (wanting a nose at what the developers had done to it) and in the picture of the yard we could see the same bin with the same painting number. It must be 10+ years since we painted it!

Well done that man!

Tell him you have it on film and unless he swaps bins back again you are posting the video clip on social media.

I'd be tempted to stencil "property is theft" on all sides of the bin, maybe with an added sprinkling of Che Guevara portraits.

I do every single one of those except the veganism. However, I am both Protestant and living in Dublin so perhaps I can't help myself.

This is glorious! such utter Cheeky Fuckery. Council property but he still wants the clean one .

Well done to your husband. Tory man has met his match.

I was expecting the councilor to be mortified when he realized he’d been caught. He’s clearly totally brazen and in need of being brought down a peg or two. I really hope the Daily Mail picks this story up and ‘outs’ him.

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar - I do every single one of those except the veganism. However, I am both Protestant and living in Dublin so perhaps I can't help myself.

It'd be in your blood.

The big question though, is where do you keep the toaster?

Gloss paint, or put some flower stickers on it , lots of the buggers, I'd glitter the whole bin, totally pimp that bin 🤣

Toaster is on the counter beside the bread bin. I fully expect you to come back and tell me that good Catholics keep it in ... the freezer.

I have also been Googling bin cleaners. Although my next door neighbour cleans her own bins and from things that she has said she assumes that we clean our bins too. If I hire a bin cleaning firm I can never go back to letting her assume we do it ourselves. Perhaps I could fake a broken arm or something, for as long as we continue to live here.

Can I just point out a scoop of washing powder in your grey bi will stop it smelling. Assuming your council collects food waste separately.

Where do your magic bin cleaning people tip the dirty water and mess out? There's little pockets of crud left on our street by the bin cleaner man.

Tell him you've recorded his behaviour and you are sending it to his councillor mates

Ah no. The catholics keep it on the counter. It's the protestants that keep it in the press (did you not watch Derry Girls). You're obviously conflicted.

My fil, a very devout catholic, kept his in the press. We thought it was hilarious.

Acrylic?

I did watch Derry Girls, but those Northern Protestants are different from us in RoI.

That's true. Although I do know some northern protestants who keep their toaster on the counter. It's in the utility room though so a bit of a half way house.

I chuck a bucket of washing up water in my bins every time they're emptied and then use a broom to clean them.
Takes less than five minutes.

I can't believe you dirty feckers who never clean or have it cleaned

My DH was working in someone's garden and had to move their empty bin because of the smell and flies 🤢

Fuck me that’s some CFer entitlement there!

The bin was retrieved last night...

Ooh put a Labour sticker on it, or political party of your choice obviously.

I put a few very large sharply edged rocks next to my parking space and move them onto their wind shield when someone parks in my spot. Never happens again. These rocks weigh about 20 pounds and I put them next to the wipers gently.
