[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is a weirdo about having garbage in the garbage can. She will take things out of the garbage and take it to the garbage can outside. She goes to the outside garbage can no less than 5 times a day. [/quote]

I'm the PP with the mom who doesn't allow anything that's not a Kleenex in trash outside the kitchen. Does she have an auxiliary trash bag hanging on a cabinet knob for trash in the kitchen that she deems urgent?[/quote]

She puts a plastic grocery bag in the garbage can (and there's a regular garbage bag in the can too) and then when the grocery bag is "full", she takes it outside. She also gets mad if you put something in the garbage that takes up too much room. I crushed an empty cracker box and threw it away. She took it out of the garbage and took it outside. It's bizarre. I've never seen someone so obsessed with the garbage.[/quote]

DH is on the junior apprentice track for this behavior, but with recycling. I think that habit spans generations, though. He loves to rearrange the indoor recycling, take everything out, precisely slot it all into the weekly pickup bin, etc. His favorite times of year are when there will definitely be too much recycling and he gets to decide which recycling should go to the dump to maximize bin space for the remainder of the week.[/quote]

Oh dear, I think I’m on this apprentice track too 🤭.[/quote]
