Jason Mandford - Rubbish issue

Yeah I have never really bought it as I’ve always been the type who tidies up after myself.

I do have a mate who makes his bed in a hotel on THE DAY HE’S LEAVING though. Which is just mental, isn’t it?

I do too. Just habits I think.
I also take my empty glasses to the bar and any others on the table.
But going back to the OP. Although it is not an excuse, theatres don't help themselves when they do not provide anywhere to put your rubbish in. The wife always strips the bed and places the bedding and towels on the bath.

this makes much more sense in my personal view!

So what happens when you’re together? Are you frantically trying to make the bed while she is wrestling the sheets off you to hang over the bath?
 
The lack of bins annoys me, but you can understand it in terms of terrorism at some venues. Very easy for a bin to contain a device I'd have thought.
However, that shouldn't encourage you to just dump litter.
One of my pet peeves is dumping trolleys in car parks rather than in the supplied bays. Yes, they might have staff collecting trolleys, but I'm sure the culprits would be less than happy if a rogue trolley scraped their car.
Don't get me started on the takeaway rubbish that some scrote has clearly just opened the door of their parked car to drop before driving off.

Going off subject slightly, is it acceptable to take a trolley home as long as you bring it back?

Is it acceptable to take a table from the Coatham Bowl, after a gig? (Four people job with a table leg stuck up a trouser leg of each, late 70s, in case you’re wondering….)

I suppose if it was for a function or something…..

When I was young I stole a spanner from the toolbox of one of Embrace’s entourage, at the Town Hall. Still got it somewhere, bloody good spanner it is.
 
It's a selfish trait to leave rubbish for others to pick up. We have a beautiful local park but in the summer mornings it is littered with crap left behind may picnickers. There are plenty of bins within a 30 second walk of where they place themselves but they are entitled to think that putting rubbish in the bin is beneath them. Idle, ignorant and selfish.

Used to do bar work many moons ago.
I always take the glasses back.

Rightly or wrongly, the cleaners in my hotel used to judge guests who left their duvets assunder as scruffy lazy gets.

Half these hotels literally ask you to leave your towels on the floor, so judging you for not making the bed seems a trifle unfair!
 
I might have completely made it up but I had always assumed that cinema/theatres wanted you to leave your rubbish under the seat and they had a quick and efficient process for picking it up. There aren't enough bins provided for everyone to put their rubbish and it ends up spreading litter around instead of keeping it hidden. Maybe it was something to do with making sure things ended up in the right place for recycling.

Same at the Riverside. I know it gets cleaned, but why would you just leave rubbish piled up under your seat when there are plenty of bins. Selfishness.

because the bins are in the concourse, so from my seat at the back of the North Stand it would be a fair trip down to put something in the bin.

Towels were different to duvets.

That request was more to do with guests who were staying more than one night.
The idea being that towels not on the floor didn't need to be replaced, so didn't need to be washed, saving on detergent, water and energy.

If a guest was checking out we couldn't really trust that towels not on the floor or in the bath hadn't been used so we washed and replaced them all anyway. But the sign showed that we were doing our bit to save the planet.
 
How about the bins in hotels the ones in the bathroom are so small as to be useless and the ones in the bedroom struggle to take more than a plastic bottle.
If you take off the sheets and bedding and fold them up it's an indication you have messed up the linen or the bedding.
