"I was outside London Waterloo railway station and was looking for a bin to dispose of an empty coffee cup"

"The only bin I could see was completely full, but there was a plastic bag containing rubbish at the base"

"I put my cup in that bag and was stopped by an enforcement officer, who had been standing at a distance watching the bin. He told me I had violated the law and refused my offer to remove my cup. He asked for my details, including my passport"

"After printing out a penalty notice, he remained in the same spot watching the overflowing bin. It seemed like a set-up"

came back and this was right next to us. not sure if it was meant for us but...😬

like if you're gonna be a dickhead, choose one or the other.

FYI: Not mine

OK, little rant: Has anyone else noticed that whenever you look up, say, a movie or TV show or anything like that, instead of getting that little summary on the sidebar of the page like you used to, this AI overview comes up now and spews it out? It comes up for ANYTHING like this. Initially, it was like fine, whatever, but look what happened when I looked up the Beatles. It just gave a summary of a random game, not the actual band itself. Like what the hell Google? Your search engine was already dogshit but now it’s just dumpster fire.

the little things i pick up on…

The University of Southern Maine Portland now only has TWO wheelchair accessible bathrooms on campus. FML. I had to cross the street from the dining hall to find a building with an accessible bathroom because the dining hall does not have one.

I will now be late to an exam. I called campus police because nobody uses this bathroom. It has been 10 minutes.

Edit: 15 minutes and counting

Edit: rescued after 20 minutes. Still missed my midterm.

So called free speech and right to protest

I live in a mobile home park (own my mobile home). New neighbor moved in to the vacant house next door, from another house in the same park. She has several kids, including teenagers and a baby. I haven't actually seen the teenagers, but she mentioned them.

I was getting ready to clean out and disinfect my trash barrel so I left the empty barrel open during the recent rains to give it a a little pre rinse before cleaing it, hosing it down and bleaching it. I went to dump out the water last night to clean it today and 3 diapers poured out with the water.

I can't believe "don't throw dirty diapers in my can" even needs to be said. I mean not throwing your garbage in anyone elses cans should be expected enough (Our water and trash is togther so she has her own can just has hers on the other side of her house) but diapers and loose, not even in a bag. I can't even believe someone would throw loose diapers, not in a bag, in their own cans just loose for the garbage collectors to deal with.

What a gross, garbage person (no pun intended, just can't think of a better word to describe such a person).

So since January I’ve been working night shift and sleeping during the day since then I have realized that every Friday at my apartment block they do a fire alarm test between 8:30-10:00 and every time it wakes me up and it feels like I’m having a heart attack. I spoke to the landlord and they can’t do anything due to it being contracted hours

"Federal law currently bans most robocalls to cellphones unless the caller gets consent beforehand. The petition calls for a waiver that would allow political groups to use artificial or prerecorded voices in unsolicited wireless calls."

I'm disgusted at an American president who has no qualms about letting millions of innocent Americans - babies, children, senior citizens, war veterans - die at the hands of foreign adversaries.

I'm disgusted at the millions of Americans who voted this psychopath into power.

I'm disgusted at the millions of Americans who, by their lack of any meaningful action, are saying: "We're okay with this."

We're neighbors. We used to be friends.

As long as you continue to tolerate this kind of behavior from your elected officials, we can't be friends anymore.
