Bin Monster

The garbage collectors had emptied all the bins on our street early on last morning but Gaz left it till noon to collect our bin from the kerbside. During that time, somebody had put a big bag of their smelly rubbish into our empty bin. When he walked in the front door, his face was as black as thunder. This is the second time that someone had purposely left us a smelly present.

The first time when it happenend, the perpetrators kept our bin for two days before returning it to the kerbside with their smelly package of rubbish in the bin. There was no way that they could have mistaken our bin for theirs because every bin on the street had been collected, which meant they purposely collected two bins that weekend.

I wonder what goes through their head when they commit such an anti civic act. How do they justify to themselves that this kind of behaviour is acceptable? I understand and accept if people have extra rubbish and deposit them into other people's half full bins before the bins are emptied, but not after they've been emptied. If you do not want to live with your stinky rubbish fermenting in your bin for one week while waiting for the next garbage collection, neither do we!!
