Bin Saga: Who's Liable When The Bins Are Left Out?
A peculiar dispute has erupted among flatmates Ben, Roisin and Mohammed over the bins in their shared maisonette. According to Roisin, it's a "man's job" for Ben to bring the bins back in when she's away working, but he often misses the collection due to his late work hours.
However, Ben claims that Mo is being overly critical of him. He points out that the bins get emptied regularly and even if they're not put back in immediately, it's not a big deal. In fact, he thinks Mo is overreacting by making a fuss about something that shouldn't be a major issue.
Mohammed, who has been dealing with the fallout for years, argues that Ben and Roisin are being irresponsible and inconsiderate of their neighbours' feelings. If they don't bring the bins back in on time, it causes problems not just for them but also for the people living in the adjacent flats.
But is Mohammed being reasonable or unreasonable? In this bin saga, whose argument will you side with - Ben's 'bin- it- doesn't-matter' approach or Mohammed's exasperated cry of "it's just a bin!"?
It seems to us that Mohammed has a point. The bins have been left out for ages, causing friction with the neighbours and attracting unwanted attention from random people who chuck their rubbish into them. Meanwhile, Ben's lackadaisical attitude towards taking in the bins when he's away could be seen as inconsiderate.
However, we also can't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Ben's situation. Working in finance can be demanding, and it's not always easy to find time to fit everything into your schedule. Maybe a compromise would be best - perhaps they can establish a system where someone is designated to take in the bins when Mo is away or come up with a schedule that works for everyone.
Ultimately, as with most things in life, it comes down to communication and a willingness to work together. We'll leave the final decision to you: who's liable for bringing in those bins?

. Working in finance can be super demanding, and I've had days when I'm running on fumes just trying to get everything done. That being said, it's not an excuse for leaving the bins out all the time... or at least having a system in place so his flatmates know what to expect 
. Maybe they can find a compromise like you suggested - designate someone to take care of the bins when Mo is away, or come up with a schedule that works for everyone? It's not rocket science, but it does seem like a bit of a hassle that’s been festering for ages...

but at the same time mo is being super dramatic 
they need to find a compromise 
.
.
. So, yeah, let's just say Ben and Roisin are being a bit reckless with their finances 
.
.
And let's be real, it's not just the neighbouring flats that are affected - it's also Ben and Roisin's own sanity 
?
anyway i think it's kinda unfair to expect him to take responsibility for something that happens when he's working late
