Not a good way to start a Monday

danceswithgaryDear Waste Disposal Company,
I'm unhappy about how I found my trash receptacles this morning (7/19/2010). The large wheeled container was left in the middle of my driveway six inches from the road and could easily have caused an accident if someone had driven too close to the edge. In addition, the blue recycling container was ten feet away, also in the driveway and upside down, obviously flung there after being emptied.
I realize there are schedules to keep, but I really don't think taking the extra few seconds to make sure the containers are put back where they were and out of the way of road and driveway traffic is too much to ask.
That's the email I sent with my address so that they know which idiot is responsible.
This is what I wanted to add:
It's bad enough that I had to be the one to take the trash up to the road (along a 100 foot driveway with ruts and potholes) because my husband is still off riding around the country in his version of 'Wild Hogs,' leaving me home to take care of this crap, so he can then say stupid things when he gets home like, "You should have just left it for another week." The passive-aggressive crap with the middle of the driveway placement just makes it so much more aggravating. If someone had needed to get into the driveway, they would have had to park on a heavily-traveled road with narrow shoulders and a 40mph speed limit that people translate to 55mph, and then get out of their car and move the containers.
That person needing to get in? Might have been my daughter. Assholes.
