I zipped home during lunch today to unlock my car so that the windshield guy could get in and replace the glass in my Honda. Tuesday is trash day. Since we had all that furniture delivered (in boxes) last week, there was a lot of packing material and cardboard to dispose of.
Imagine my pisstivity when I find these two stickies on my recycling bin and trash can. Since these two are collected by different agencies, it must just be "Let's all shit on Tiffany at once" day.
Here's the one from the recycling people. Okay. My bad. Look, y'all. We had about 30 pounds of cardboard to dispose of. Two pieces were larger than 3' x 3'. Sue me. Of course they left those two pieces in the ditch to teach me a lesson.
All that syrofoam and plastic packing material was sufficient enough to stuff my solid waste bin to the brim - so much so that our real trash had to go outside the bin. Here's the sticker those fuck-heads left. I guess they just checked the first box by default - our trash had been out since last night. The one about only being able to have one additional bag on top of the can? Dude. What were we supposed to do with all that styrofoam? Put it down the garbage disposal? The part about "If you recycle the way you're supposed to, you wouldn't have this problem" really pissed me off. Did I not just recycle 30 pounds of carboard?
*sigh*

Which sucks really, really bad because when they're super full, you need them to take the trash away so you get another load of trash loaded up.
What I hate more than that is when my neighbors overload my trash bin so the trash people don't take it.

This used to be a free country.
