You’ve got to admire the bin mens dedication to creating a slalom.

Friday night and I’m looking at pictures of people’s wheelie bins. What a life
Edit: well aren’t I a silly sausage
Nightmare if you are on a mobilty scooter.
I would not want to run or bike down that street lmao
You’d think being part of the council they’d be trained to be aware of wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Very poor form.

Slalom Jackie!
Around here, they exclusively leave them in the middle of driveways.

Absolutely mad that our pavements become unnavigable for people with wheel chairs and prams for 15-20% of the week.
The ones right in the middle get kicked to the side
You know, you would think more people would admire these men and their attempt to install another roundabout with the barest of materials available to them.
A few more bins and traffic congestion might have crescendoed, noise and pollution might have peaked.
But sadly in today’s Britain fault finding is as popular as working down the pit once was.
Due to this sort of thing, my local council have now banned the use of wheelie-bins and we have to put out just the bin bags instead. We are allowed 3 70 liter bags every three weeks. Of course, it was *our* fault for blocking the pavements, not the brave and courageous bin men that left the bins willy-nilly after emptying them.
I hadn’t really considered this beyond wheelchairs until today when I saw a lady with a double pram (outwards) trying to navigate her way through bin day.
Contractors doing this wouldn’t shock me but council workers really ought to do better.
This is one of the most common examples I can think of where making a job easier just makes people lazier instead of more efficient. Bin men used to carry the bins to the lorry and then take them back, now they are on wheels and left on the kerb, they still can’t put them back properly.
For all the crap that drivers and motorcyclists get when they park on the pavement, in case a disabled person might come along, surprisingly few people want to inflict similar punishment on binmen.
For those scratching your heads about what the fuck a “slalom” is, it’s a ski thing “Slalom is an alpine skiing and alpine snowboarding discipline, involving skiing between poles or gate”.
So yeah, how do you even say that word?
When I was a kid armed with a scooter and a dream, this was the ideal time to show how cool I was. It never ended well
Can we add those who park their fucking Chelsea tractors half on the drive/half on the pavement please
I wish I’d seen this picture as a kid trying to complete the intro mission in Driver on PlayStation.

Nannamobile!
Haven’t seen a civic like that in a few years.
Just wait for a windy bin day
