Has irritating neighbour syndrome.
Lived here for 17 years and (because we live about 1/4 mile down a farm track) have always left our bins in the lay-by at the top of the farm track.
Never an issue with neighbours.
New neighbours moved in at top of track 3 years ago and immediately started leaving passive aggressive notes on bins informing us they shouldn’t be left out.
I took round some of our eggs and a cake, introduced myself, apologised and explained to this retired and po-faced busybody the difficulty of lugging up to four bins (necessitating multiple journeys) up and down the potholed track every week when I’m working full time and often on call
Notes continued, together with tutting and gesticulating from her window when I passed.
Being a good neighbour, I therefore have bust a gut to ensure bins are not out for the time in between collections.
Was away last week so bins remained out for about 4 days until we got back.
Brought them in on Sunday and then put out all the recycling bins as my (complex and very confusing) bin calendar suggested it was recycling day today.
Drove out to work today to find this at the end of the lane.
I would have brought the bins in today as soon as I had noticed I’d made a mistake and they hadn’t been emptied but now I am going to leave them all week just to piss her off.
