One of my neighbours putting their rubbish in my bin. Use your own fecking bin and if you haven't got one, get one.
On a similar theme. The local council asking me in a rather accusatory tone what has happened this time to my insert caddy thingy after ordering a replacement for about the 10th time in 6 months. As if I somehow have a sideline business in stockpiling and selling dustbin caddies. Every time I tell them the same. If the bin men didn't smash it to smithereens and render it unusable every other fortnight then I wouldn't be on the phone requesting another would I?

God knows how much these things cost the council. Should be made out of metal or some other more durable material.

A certain lack of community spirit here Logster.

Lionel is generally such an accommodating sort of fellow so his post surprised me.

Well, when you see the bin lid open above your head, you and Log should give his neigbours what for.

Balls to 'em.

What annoyed me more was that they'd put one of their bags in the bin (and as they didn't bother to compact what was already in there, it meant the lid didn't shut properly) then left two bags next to the bin. If you're going to do that, leave them outside of your own house, not mine.

I do sympathise TBH but then I am a miserable fecker.

I've got a fair idea which neighbour it was. Their card is marked.
