Where's Ya Bin, No wheres ya weally bin!

Warning: This will possibly be, no make that probably be the most pointless and worthless thread you have read since joining, yup, even worse than that Leo Vegas "fake money" streaming nonsense

However I have to share this "Lemming Effect" I experienced today!

Yesterday afternoon I decided (as I knew I had a lot on and an early start today) to put out my bins for the next day's collection.

Wheeled the brown/everyday bin onto kerbside. Stopped and thought "Is it re-cycling week or not" (Something I'm usually shit hot with )

Looked up and down street (we live in a long street) and not a bin of any description in sight!

"Sod it" I thought and went and fetched the re-cycling bin out too.

Having had a quick peak out the window last night on the way to bed, noticed that one or two other recycle bins had started to appear.

By 10am today the whole street had 'followed my lead' and had their recycle bins out ready for collection.

I got it wrong, they collect next week Now if only people followed my lead for more worthwhile things eh

I suppose you "had to be there" but I had a good laugh out of it anyway.


Told you it was a pointless thread

I put my cats out the other night when it was -8. Next morning I looked up and down the street and no one else had bother following suit. But my cats where their at the front door frozen solid.

Not a pointless thread at all Jon. It achieved it effect on me, made me laugh out loud. When my brother was a cheeky teenager him and his best mate decided one day to mess with people in the High Street. They both stopped walking, looked up in the air and pointed. Everybody around looked up and of course my bro got such a great kick out of it. So the lemming effect is real.

I love funny stories, should be more of them

We have three bins, red for general rubbish, green for grass cuttings etc and Yellow for recycle so I can get confused week by week, is it green or yellow this week? lol

Fun stuff indeed! people are silly, that's for sure, but it's also quite charming in way
While we're at it, i got a pointless experience to report to, which made me laugh:

I was on my way to the Gas Station at night, to fetch myself a pack of much needed rolling papers, and passed a small Children's farm - that is just 60 meters away from it - with it's respective animals all hanging out - outside, in the frozen grass - lookin' like it was a sunny day! But it wasn't: it was a freezing cold night, and snow was coming down fast, so i started talking to them whilst passing them, saying stuff like: come on you silly collection of animals! it's way too cold out here! Don't you have a nice stall or pen where you'd rather hang out in? Go on! shoo!

Of course during that 'speech' they really looked like they'd care what i had to say about the weather (yeah, not) and therefore pretty much ignored me as such...Suit yourselves i figured, and continued on in my pretty good mood thus far..

A mere 2 minutes later, papers fetched, and on my way back i look over to the animals, and as if by magic, they had all disappeared! So they decided to 'take my advice' after all, or so it seemed xD

It was absolute nonsense of course but it still managed to make me smile all the way back.

I bought a new fridge freezer because the one I had broke down.It was out the front of the house until I could get a mate to take it to the tip. Unfortunately he had just gone away for his holidays. My Mrs was about to get the Council to take it which would incur a £60 charge. So I told her that I will have rid of it by the morning. When she went to bed she was cursing me saying "its still there..."
But when she got up next morning it had gone.
I had put a sign on it "For sale,excellent working order only £80". It was stolen within an hour

Hahahaha..... made me laugh as well the other stories on here...

I would love to have this predicament, however the remote location I live in does not have garbage removal, or any sort of recycling program for that matter.

You have to take it to the Transfer station (around 20 miles away) yourself, so basically my garage has a holding pen for trash and when it gets full we take it to the plant.

If it weren't for the smell of Dirty Diapers from 2 kids it would be a ton more tolerable, you know the whole basically having a garbage dump in my garage thing ...
