  1. This happened a few years ago. Man smoked salvia. Believed he had to feed the bin a bouquet of flowers or it would eat his whole family.

    OP bought flowers. Put them in the bin. Took a pic & posted for up votes.

    The end. 🤠

    The flowers for the 150 bus driver who gave him a Leap card “Gowan ahead 😉” and she and her 150 was a no show for 2 hrs.

    — He’s gone, said Larry.

    — I know, said Anto.

    — Fuckin’ gone.

    — I know.

    They stood there, the two of them, looking at the bin. It was dark now. The streetlight was flickering the way it always did, like it was trying to make up its mind about something.

    — D’you remember, said Anto. When Slinky threw the kebab at your man from Crumlin?

    — I do, yeah.

    — An’ he missed.

    — He did.

    — An’ Gobshite caught it. The whole thing. Garlic sauce an’ all.

     — An’ we slagged him for ages saying he got cream pied by a doorty kebab.

    Larry was welling up a bit and guffawed. He sniffed like he was sniffing the air.

    — He never judged, said Larry.

    — No.

    — Never once.

    — That’s right.

    — You could put anythin’ in there. Anythin’. An’ he’d just take it.

    — He was like a priest, said Anto. — But useful.

    They were quiet for a bit. A woman walked past with a small dog. The dog sniffed at the base of the bin and the woman yanked him away like Gobshite was contagious.

    — Fuck off, said Larry. But quietly. After she’d gone.

    Anto had the flowers. He’d found them outside Tesco. Some young fella had been standing there, looking at his phone, looking at the flowers, looking at his phone again. Then he’d said somethin’ that sounded like “bollix” and just left them on the ground.

    — Perfect, Anto had said.

    He placed them on top of Gobshite now. And as if having a second thought he picked them up and placed it in Gobshite’s mouth. Pink ones. A white one. A red one that was a bit crushed.

    — Should we say somethin’? said Larry.

    — Like wha’?

    — I don’t know. A prayer or somethin’.

    — Do you know any prayers?

    — No.

    — Deadly.

    They stood there a bit more.

    — He was a good bin, said Larry.

    — The best.

    — Dublin City Council won’t replace him.

    — They will not.

    — They’ll put in one of them new ones. The ones with the hole tha’ you can’t fit anythin’ into.

    — With the flap.

    — The bleedin’ flap.

    Anto shook his head.

    — It’s progress, he said.

    — It’s not, said Larry. It’s not progress. It’s just shite.

    A bus went past. The 46A. It didn’t stop.

    — Will we go? said Anto.

    — In a minute.

    Larry put his hand on the bin. Just for a second. The metal was cold and a bit sticky.

    — Thanks, he said.

    — For wha’? said Anto.

    — I wasn’t talkin’ to you.

    — Oh, yeah. Right.

    They walked off then, toward the chipper, shoulders hunched, hands in pockets. Behind them, the roses sat there in the dark,  poking out of Gobshite’s mouth, who had never asked for thanks and who had never, not once, let Dublin down.

    Even more fascinating, why were they positioned that way🤔🤔 and not dumped head first

  6. Finaly bought the flowers for the misus after all her complaining only to find her with another man kissing in the window with flowers… her step-dad!

  7. I put flowers in the bin, which were worth as much as a gram of tin.

    I showed you my love, you gave me nought.

    I took the time I gave you wine, why won’t you be mine.

    I walked home, with the flowers I brought.

    I was dejected, distort, so the bin I thought.

    The love that was not.

    That’s one for the emergency services. There’s a mediocre magician in that bin with an illusion gone all wrong 

  9. Theydontlikeitupthem on

    Mind your own business, the bin was probably out on a date and the date brought them flowers, what’s the big deal??

  10. Outrageous_Blood_935 on

    The bin diver who looks for re- turn bottles had to give presents to his loved ones at this time of giving

  11. ArseholeryEnthusiast on

    Flowers were delivered successfully. There’s two people sharing a bunk bed in there because the rent on it is 2k a month.
