Clever people out there

So I was at work today, working hard as usual. And we go through a lot of paper at work and all of it goes in the bin. The bin only gets emptied during week days. So as we are open on Saturdays also, the bin doesn’t get emptied. So we have the rubbish from Friday. As the bin is already half full and Saturday being a busy day we double the capacity of the bin. That means we have to put double the rubbish that is already in the bin on top of the half of the rubbish taking up half the bin as it is. So we kick, push, squeeze more paper and other rubbish in there.
And today a very clever person, actually two bright sparks at my work place decided to put two bottles of plastic (one 1.5L and the other 500ml) in the bin during the morning, when the bin wasnt full as of then. By early afternoonthe bin was over-flowing with rubbish, the door couldnt even been opened to put more bin in because it was so full and jammed packed. We literally had to open a bit and stuff more paper in there as hard as we could.
So I asked which clever one put the two bottles in. Of course I didnt mention no names or ask deliberately who did it, but I was like, pointing it out. Some clever person put a bottle of plastic in the bin when the bin is already full as it is. To which one of my colleagues said that there are no other bins. Now as far as I am aware there are 7 bins in the building, excluding the full bin, which will make it 8 bins in total. And my colleague said that there are no bins. More like I cant be bothered to take it to another bin so I am going to put in a full bin and then spend the whole afternoon pushing paper in the already x1.5 over the capacity of the container. some retarded and dumb people at my work place. Is a joke, I couldnt believe it. I was so amazed that I just couldnt say anything.
Later on in the day it was mentioned a few times that is busy today. Well yes, it would be busy if you have 10 people crowded around a 3 meter counter asking different questions and saying they are in a rush. Like who actually gives a fuck if they are in a rush? Not my problem if youre in a rush. You shouldnt come here if you are running late.
One final thing while on the rubbish discussion. I mentioned to my manager over a month ago the issue of recycling, and why arent we doing it? To which his reply was Because the organisation isnt prepared to pay money to recycle. So yep, good one, waste paper, a few more trees cut down for that… Great logic. Now let me tell you the truth, the truth is that to recycle all you have to do is to take the paper to these containers with your car, and just put the paper in the container. It would take 10 minutes drive, that is if you drive straight from work, but if it would be from your house or wherever shouldnt take longer, it should in face be quicker. So thats my managers thinking for that day…
