Mo's Housemate Debacle: Who's To Blame?
For years, Mo has been the self-appointed bin wrangler for his split-level maisonette. He takes care of bringing home the bins and getting them back to their designated spot before collection day. However, when he's away working, his housemates Ben and Roisin leave it all up in the air.
The problem arises when the bins are left out for extended periods, leading to a stream of random people dumping rubbish into them. As Mo notes, this not only bothers him but also turns their street into a mess. On top of that, the flies and odors become unbearable in the summer months.
But Ben sees things differently. In his view, Mo is making too much fuss over something as trivial as bin duties. He argues that bins belong on the street and that it's not his responsibility to keep them tidy when he's working. He claims that taking out the rubbish late isn't a big deal, especially considering that they get emptied every two weeks anyway.
The question then becomes: who's at fault here? Mo believes that Ben needs to step up and take ownership of the bins, ensuring they're put back in their spot on time. However, Ben counters that Mo is overreacting and expecting too much from him.
The online poll has already shown some interesting results, with 97% of respondents agreeing that Jayden shouldn't have ditched his laundry basket. But it's clear that this isn't the same issue as Mo's bin problem.
Ultimately, the decision lies with Ben and Roisin to get their act together when Mo is away. The peace and harmony between housemates depend on it. It might be time for a chat about shared responsibilities and setting expectations - before things get out of hand.

He's always looking out for his friends, but this bin drama is getting out of hand 
. I think Ben needs to take responsibility for the bins when he's away working. It's not fair to expect Mo to keep everything in order all by himself 
. Maybe they should have a calm conversation about shared responsibilities and set some expectations? 
That way, everyone can contribute and avoid messy streets 
.
he's always getting worked up over something so trivial, but at the same time... his housemates should know better too. i mean, come on ben, if you're gonna leave your bins out for days, shouldn't you at least put them in a decent spot where it doesn't attract every fly in london 
?
. I mean, his job is hard enough without having to deal with people dumping trash all over the street because Ben and Roisin can't keep up with the bins 
I think Ben needs to take responsibility for his part in keeping the place clean. 97% agreed that Jayden shouldn't have ditched his laundry basket, so maybe Ben can take a page out of that book and start taking care of the bins like he should 
.
. Like, come on guys, if Ben's gonna leave the bins out, he should probably make sure to put them back in on time when Mo is home or set a reminder for himself. But 97% of people agreeing that Jayden shouldn't have ditched his laundry basket? 
That's just ridiculous. And honestly, I think Ben has a point about expecting too much from him and it being a minor thing considering the bins get emptied every two weeks anyway 
. We need to focus on setting expectations for shared responsibilities rather than piling drama all over socials 
I mean, come on guys! It's not exactly rocket science to put the bins back in their spot when you're supposed to. Ben, if you can't even be bothered to take care of a few bins while you're working, how do you expect Mo and Roisin to keep up with everything? 
.
. Can't we just have a calm conversation about shared responsibilities without it turning into a drama fest 
my landlord is always breathing down my neck about me not bringin home the trash like i do, but what about the rest of the ppl in my complex? shouldn't they be responsible for takin care of their own bins too?! 
.
. it's not about being a control freak or expecting too much, it's just basic human decency to look out for your neighbors and keep the community looking nice 
. can't we all just get along and take turns putting out the bins? 
. I mean, come on guys! Taking care of bins isn't that hard... it's just basic responsibility 
. They need to create a shared schedule or something so everyone knows what's expected of them 
. It's not that hard to plan ahead 
! Ben needs to grow up and take ownership of his actions (or lack thereof) when Mo is away. I mean, come on, 2 weeks isn't that long for the bins to be emptied... it's not like they're going to make a huge mess just because Mo forgets to bring them back
