Our communal garbage is located outside of our building a floor down. I know, I know, not a huge trek but when it's dark and windy out or we are just plain lazy, we throw the garbage bag out onto our deck and take it out the next day.
I should say we USED to do this however now we have a new pain in the ass neighbour. He is our resident squirrel and he loves to rip apart our trash and spread it all over the damn deck. He especially loves to do this on mornings where you are already running late for work, mornings when it is pissing down rain and windy and other times that just don't fit into my or Jacob's schedule.
He is a cheeky bastard too. He'll sit on the fence and just stare at us making dinner or he'll watch Jacob BBQ (he's damn lucky I am vegetarian or he'd be next!). The other day we were sitting on the sofa having a beer and some dinner and we heard this *click click* sound followed by the sound of a trash bag being mangled and lo and behold there he was again! He did not run away or anything, he just stared at Jacob with a 'WTF are you lookin' at' look on his face. Bastard squirrel.
