Various states on the state diagram of living in an apartment:
* There is too much rubbish. This is going to take me months to take out without completely monopolizing the bins.
* Okay I finally got my act together enough to take out some rubbish, just this week’s priority rubbish…oh the bins are full.
* Oh the bins are mysteriously empty. Did they collect a day early? How much can I put in without being rude?
* I just needed 3 things shipped to me. Why is my apartment full of cardboard again?
@arjache Cats love cardboard. :)
“Rachel you’re from the US why do you say ‘rubbish’”
Because there’s no one word in American English that conveys garbage/trash + recycling + compost other than perhaps “waste” and that just sounds wrong.
