You know, I really don't have a problem with that. We're in a recession, and all that.
(Maybe with the saved money, the city will be able to hire the Pied Piper once a month?)
But speaking of rats, the real problem is with the city telling me to leave the lid on the trash can. It would have made sense if the trash collectors / sanitation professionals didn't treat the lids as their own Captain America shields.
Here, in this image of Zimbabwe I stole off the internet, is my can, with a lid. You can see I left it on the side of the road, as instructed:
Now, here's the After picture. My trash can is lying in the middle of the road. The lid is a few blocks up. As you can see from the traffic conditions, not only is this annoying, but also very dangerous.
City of Baltimore, Get in on it!

I stand in awe of your graphical talents.
You're implying I didn't travel to Zimbabwe with my trash can to take these pictures?
Well... Yeah, let's go with that.
Hi, just found you through Entrecard. Great site! I'm fairly local to you so I will be keeping an eye on your posts :-)
They did the same thing to me in the northern Chicago burbs, but they'd also leave portions of my uncollected trash in the street as well, plus glare at my wife.... then they'd have the audacity to go on strike for a month or so.
FishHawk, I collected a lot of Miles for that trip.
Mommy Kennedy, thanks. Hope you stick around. How local are you?
Anonymous, I mean, I understand that's not the most glorious job out there, but aren't people supposed to try to do their best in whatever they do? I've had some horrible jobs, but I've never treated other people as my enemies. Trash in the middle of the street, lids at the other side of the block, and looking at you like you should feel bad about having trash out. With all the recent technological improvements, isn't it time evil robots took over that job?
