rrrrrrrrrrage!

I am sick and fucking tired of being the only one who cares about anything in this neighbourhood besides their own precious ass. My paper recycling has sat on the street for over a week in overtly optimistic wish that it would get collected. It hasn't (more on this later). But in the meanwhile people see fit to use it as a normal bin and chuck in

*rages with you* >_____________<

Gods, MCC are bloody awful sometimes. You know what their latest fuck-up with me is? My rent. I sent it through their online system while I wait for my replacement card. It told me it hadn't gone through because my number was invalid.

Tried it through internet banking. "Account details invalid" - but they still managed to take £40 out of my account - then deposit it straight back in! Now they're having a go at me for not paying my rent, when I've been trying to!

Ugh so angry.

And that's ridiculous about your rent. Hope you've had a go at them for being useless fuck-ups.

Graaaaaaagh! I would be going ABSOLUTELY INSANE. No wonder people give up on doing these things, you have to actually make it WORK for them!!!

[kat_lair]

It is ridiculous beyond measure. And exactly, after battling it out for so long I can't even blame some of the people for just giving up.

Ugh, I feel you. I live in a gated community with only 35 houses on it, and NOBODY recycles but me. So I told them that I would collect it for them, and still, only 12 of my neighbors are doing it.

But of course, I have to drive 25 minutes to go to a recycling center because the city only sends someone to collect it if 90% of the neighbors recycle.

What I don't get is, these people have kids. All of them. Don't they want to leave them a better world? Apparently not. Sigh.

the city only sends someone to collect it if 90% of the neighbors recycle. - that's insane, it's punishing people who want to do the right thing, making everyone choice dependent on other people's choices. Gah.

Yes god with the kids. SOCIAL LEARNING, LOOK IT UP FUCKWITS. So many times I've seen someone throw litter in front of their kids, I can't understand...

Have passed this and your original complaint on to Colin with a note to the effect that maybe he should avoid annoying you, especially in regard to kitchen waste...

I have to say that coming back from Portugal makes the Brit system seem really weird and archaic and like - dark ages?? Even when it works!!LOL

[kat_lair]

Still angry but have calmed down from the kicking and swearing level. Why is this so difficult? I mean surely this isn't a hugely complicated thing to organise?

It's sad when 'recycling' is higher on my list of things I miss from Finland than say sauna or bread or family. My mum rings me every few weeks, recycling never. Sigh.

Oh my FUCKING GOODNESS. >:( That is unbelievable.

[kat_lair]

That is an accurate representation of my face when I think about this. So fed up, Tei.

I'm not at all surprised you're flipping out. I'd be LIVID.
