Milk Carton Material
Posted on August 21, 2008 - Filed Under Housing |
There just seems to be a problem, living in this new house. Most of my neighbors are pretty cool. The others have this Terminator approach to causing problems. Parking cars all over my property, using it as a toilet and litter box . . . and now it’s recycle bins.
| With the house on a shared alley, all the residents keep their trash cans and recycle bins into the alley way. One day during the week the city sanitation engineers arrive to remove the garbage. Of course before the engineers arrive, the “creative” entrepreneurs pick through the garbage and recycle bins. Anything metallic is quickly claimed. Or anything which may draw electricity. This usually takes place around 5 a.m.
You get the idea. |
 Definitely not a milk carton. |
The main door to the back house sits right on the alley. This main door faces a large apartment complex. Just like the other residents, this property has it’s share of trash and recycle bins. About two months ago, a recycle bin appeared right in front of my door. I push the bin away, cursing under my breath. But it always returns. Sometimes it’s return is during the day. Other times it is at night.
One day I saw the landlord of the apartment building and asked him to move his recycle bin. After all, having that thing sit directly in front of the door was blocking it. If the house were to catch on fire, this door would be blocked. Something about a lawsuit came to mind.
He was unphased. His response “You can move it.”
That option already occurred to me but his tenants always move it back.
He shrugged his shoulders. Something about not being able to control his tenants.
A few weeks passed. Upon returning home, I heard someone yell out “Excuse me”. Upon turning, a group of people approached me. It appears the recycle bin, which had been blocking my door, disappeared. The tenants and the landlord weren’t sure what happened to it.
I’m sure they’ll find it.
One day.
