Directly across from us is a house whose occupants do not use a trash service. Instead, they had a trailer which was one of those pickup beds taken off the truck and made into a trailer to pull behind a truck. Weird in itself. Anyway, they parked it in the driveway next to their front entrance and then proceded to add trash to it all winter. Finally in the spring when it warmed up and the mound of trash was heaped over the sides of the trailer, it still sat there for all the world to admire. Plus it began to ferment. We finally had enough and went to the city codes administers office and filed a complaint. They moved it within a week. However, it only went around the curve to the parking lot of the neighborhood pool. It sat there for a while and then came back empty one day only to be placed back on the driveway to be reloaded. I thought I was gonna die. The irony of it is that when you spend so much time beautifying your place and the people across from you don't lift a finger, you have to look at their mess while their view is a lovely colorful well kept space.
