In LA

Someone in my neighborhood left this massive box down by the recycling bins (not in or on the bins, but 5 feet in front of the bins) and didn’t bother to break it down and actually attempt to put it in or on the recycling bins. So of course it was left behind after the last pickup, and the recycling service folk¹ scrawled a note on the box asking that the box be broken down and placed in the bins so that it can be picked up.

The fact that someone left a huge box down there cracks me up a little as it’s a pretty extreme example of either a cavalier disregard for or lack of understanding of how the infrastructure operates. The fact that a note was penned on the box is interesting. But even more amusing is the label on the box indicating that it was for a store display of “Fleshlights“. How many solo sex toys could one individual have received in a box the size of a refrigerator? I expect that guy won’t be coming out of his room for a couple of months, and it’ll be up to us neighbors to break down and properly dispose of the box.
