• Bin shenanigans

    When staying in Airbnbs, we haven’t wanted to leave our stinky food rubbish in the kitchen bin, for both ours and the host’s sakes. So we’ve bagged up little packages such as salmon skins, takeaway curry boxes etc and secreted them nonchalantly in to public waste bins. Does anyone else do this, I wondered….?

    The outdoor bins usually have a small opening to deter this deplorable behaviour, so it’s become a newly developed skill to make the rubbish compact and easily droppable!

    The other day we witnessed a like minded individual. We parked up, close to a target bin. Just as I was getting out the car with a beautifully packaged bag of discarded prawn tails (!), a guy strolled casually past the bin. He lingered for a moment, dropped his rubbish bag in cool as anything, loitered a bit more as if taking in the view, then wandered off again. I’m sure we’re the only ones who noticed this, as he’d beaten us at our own game. I felt I could learn a thing or two from him too!

    A few mins later, I did the exact same thing. I then wondered if there was someone else observing me, about to do the same thing, waiting in the wings, and the thought made me chuckle 😊
