Something really ****ing annoying just happened

[Warbie]

I was trying to take out the rubbish bag out the kitchen bin - which was a struggle cause it had been filled to the brim and packed down by lazy people who wanted it to last another day or so - and the ****ing bottom of the bag broke and the rest yanked free in my hand covering me and the kitchen in rubbish and bin juice. ffs

 

[Que-Ever]

That happens to me every couple of days I hate taking out the garbage.

 

[Dan]

Don't buy el-cheepo garbage bags. You pay for what you save.

 

[Pulse]

Has nearly happened to me on a few occasions, lazy bastard house mates.

 

[Druckles]

While I don't think the bottom has ever broken, I know that it's ripped on occasion, and that wasn't a particularly happy sight.

I feel sorry for you, man.

 

[Eejit]

Bin juice is nasty.

My former roommate once left a small bottle of milk in the trash can. The plastic bottle with the plastic lid that you push down (not a screw-type lid).

I was sitting at my computer one day and I heard this pop sound come from the sink area. I go to investigate and find the plastic lid on the ground a couple of feet away.

I think the milk started to go bad and there was gas production in the bottle and the pressure popped the lid off.

It was nasty.


But then I also volunteer with managing and sorting recycling on campus, which involves taking out giant bags of bottles and cans trash that people throw in there, and occasionally sorting aluminum and plastic in a parking garage while wearing blue rubber lab safety gloves.

It sucks when it rains and the bags get wet. It also sucks when the bags fall inside the bin and people still throw their stuff on top and I have to dig out the bottles by hand. But it sucks the most when I'm sorting the trash. I really don't mind the sticky bottles or the twist-tied bags of beer cans that I have to un-twist-tie to sort through. But whenever I find things like bottles of enzymatic fat-decomposing medical lab instrument cleaner, I just want to cry.

 

[Lucid]

Never had that happen.

I'm one of those people that pack stuff in though, usually when I know there's boxes or lots of paper and stuff that are holding the rest of the garbage up.

 

[Shift]

Solution: Dont take the rubbish out. I haven't one yet, someone else always does xD

 

[Ennui]

Shift, are you my roommate?

 

[Krynn72]

Wait.... you guys use the word rubbish literally?

I always thought it was just an insult, and not what you actually called your trash.


interesting.

[Sheepo]

We don't have Trash Cans over here, we have Rubbish Bins.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

lol. Tell the jackasses to stop cramming.

 

[mindless_moder]

THAT^ or ... reinforce it with a second bag ??.

 

[Krynn72]

We don't have Trash Cans over here, we have Rubbish Bins.

This, I never knew. Just like in Britain they dont have shopping carts, they have trolleys. A guy named Gilbert told me that one.

 

[morgs]

Yeah we got trolleys here too. I say 'here' as in New Zealand, which is close enough to Jintors 'here' which is Australia.

 

[Cormeh]

I don't want to be the asshole, but lesson learned about rubbish protocols in the household, Warbie?

 

[Druckles]

A cart is something which goes in the mine.

Trash is a female who sells her body. Or a verb in which we vandalise something.

Gilbert is a name which is funny.

 

[Jintor]

Trolleys here in Aus, as well.

 

[Druckles]

Also Britain != England.

In Scotland they och their noos.

In England we don't, what?

 

[ShinRa]

Come on, nobody has a funny picture for this thread? :hmph:
