When the bin landed in the back of the wagon I knew it was going back to the depot and I'd have to front the cost, so I jumped in to my work van to retrieve my bin but instead of going on to the next street, being the useless gits they are they must have used that as an excuse to sack the rest of the shift off, so they headed back to the depot and realised I was following them and they went through several set of red lights before they got boxed in and i jumped out and got my bin back out, not my proudest of moments but I don't work my arse off, away from home, pay thousands of pounds a year to the council for you useless twats to do anything but do your fecking job! And Merry Christmas to you mate, love ya. And I love you to brother . You've made my day . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't take it personally, I'm sure there's plenty of good bin men, I just haven't met any yet. Funny the defensiveness of workers, I'd be biting if you called all railway workers lazy c**ts.

I don't really drink these days , so I gave most of the booze and chocolates away that I was given , all I've kept is a pack of cider , a pack of lager ( for visitors ), and one bottle of scotch , to put in my tea when I get a cold. I used to have a loader that would take fresh fruit and veg from the green bins . He was a freegan , and everything he owned , clothes , computer , phone , pushbike , all came from skips at the back of a shopping centre. He had dreadlocks with pigeon rings as beads . He used to catch the pigeons on the balcony of his flat , and eat them . Used to like that round here crate of beers left out chocolates ect but now seems they are very disliked especially around our bit and inner London! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got 24 years under my belt , and I don't even hear most of the abuse , unless it's something funny like a sweet little old lady calling me a c**t . It just becomes white noise after a while. It's the same as when I used to work the doors . Out of the hundreds of people that threatened to knock me out over the years , not a single one of them ever did . I've just remembered my best ever pardon wind up . A bloke came out of the house , raving and going mad over something or other. I just say " pardon " . I managed about a dozen pardons before he had a complete meltdown and went back into his house screaming blue murder. I had tears in my eyes , and piss dribbling down my leg , but I never cracked a smile 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of folks get pissed off with refuse and recycling rules , but they know that it's nothing to do with the binmen . It'll be some no neck pen pusher at the town hall that dreams up the rules , then threaten the binmens jobs and pensions if they don't stick to the rules. Another big thing is that folks get really pissed off about the amount of council tax that they have to pay , and the only person they'll ever see from the council , is a binman , so he's the one that they shout at . The last time I heard the figures , only 40p per week , was paid from your council tax , to , empty your refuse bin , empty your recycling bin , sweep the streets.

He was a bit of a hippy/drifter type I think. To be honest , he was always very clean and smart , worked really hard , and was extremely thoughtful and intelligent. He was a real top fella. And he always wore a leather cowboy hat , and sunglasses 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What pisses people off is we are paying more than ever and costs are continuing to rise but we are getting less service for our money. I'm not being funny mate but leaving bins because the lids popping open a touch or something else is being a jobsworth, folk now just chuck everything in a black bin liner and to f**k with it. In my particular case it was one man being an arse, the man who was walking with him said he would have taken it but obviously didn't want to while he was there.

In my particular case it was one man being an arse, the man who was walking with him said he would have taken it but obviously didn't want to while he was there. Don't forget that binmen pay just as much council tax as you , and they're probably even more pissed off than you , because they see it being wasted every day , but can do f**k all about it. Theirs really simple rules in place , why your lid is supposed to be closed , and why they aren't able to take certain things. Would you risk your mortgage , and pension , and possibly see your kids on the street , for a random stranger ?. Especially after that random stranger had been shouting at you . Most folks don't realise just how bad things are about to get with waste and recycling , especially with this shower of shite government we have at the moment. Go and have a look under the front lip on your bin . Youll see a small circular recess. That's where the chip will be going, so that your bin can be identified as your bin at your prooerty , and you can be billed for the amount of waste you put in your bin every week. You'll be just as furious as everyone else , but it still won't be your binmans fault dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
