Would you judge me for eating out of the bin?

[Noonling]

Suppose there were three slices of chocolate cake thrown in the bin in your shared house, and a certain someone wanted to take it out of the bin and eat it... Would you judge them? Would you think they are odd? Would you respect it as long as they didn't do it while you were also in the kitchen?

Hey, Costanza!

I've started noticing a pair of 50 something men who go around sifting bins in the city centre in Norwich. They're not homeless, just kinda wombling around. What are they searching for?

[Noonling]

Cake.



I went upstairs for a couple of minutes, hoping the housemate would have left, but not only was he still there, he was CHOPPING ONIONS. So I sauntered over to the bin and rescued my one true love like that's a perfectly normal thing. Which it should be, cake shouldn't go to waste like that.

He didn't comment.

Its not stale or anything, I don't know why anyone would throw it away. Thankfully nothing was thrown on top of it other than orange peel.

Mind the needles yeah

What else was in the bin in contact with the cake?

I'm going to start a poll for this and everyone can contribute to what was true; I hope this helps.

This was like a movement for a while and may still be, people getting food and things from supermarket bins. Both frugal for them and eco friendly stopping things going into landfill etc.

But it might just be people who may not be homeless but don't have much money.

I know someone who had a police helicopter chase him for rooting around at the local recycling centre. Ended up with a hefty fine. He is sort of eccentric, likes making and fixing things. The effort to catch and prosecute him seems disproportionate to the crime.

Nothing, I don't think - it was pretty much on the top. Well... There was a weird transparent blob on it which I wasn't sure if it was part of the cake, but I ate it and it didn't taste of anything.

A vegan friend said she'd happily eat bin steak.

What is a bin? Eh?

[Cold Meat Platter]

It's a toilet for things that haven't come out of your arse.

[Chairman Bodog]

Can't wait to take the sink line and die.

[PlanktonSideburns]

Fair play that is the least photogenic picture of a cake I've ever seen

Looks like something from a creepy pasta

[PlanktonSideburns]

Imagine if the sainsbury's adverts had those production values

Turkey tossed on a dark hallway carpet, portrait mode on camera phone

Cover version of Mariah Carey song on phone held up to headset mic

[PlanktonSideburns]

And it's a good thing he's dead too so he don't have to see that cake

[thenoise]

That is peak dimly-lit meal for one.

[PlanktonSideburns]

Can't stop looking at it

Its like the offcuts bin in a turd abattoir

[PlanktonSideburns]

I mean, christ

[PlanktonSideburns]

Morning Michael, how was your weekend?

Er,

[Dex Sawash]

Cake.

Would

Depends on the type of bin.

Flip top.

[Replies From View]

What if before eating food out of bins you had to buy one of those Mattel Vac-U-Form toys from the early 60s and melt thin layers of plastic around everything first.

[Dex Sawash]

Flip top.

Wouldn't

If it was stainless steel it'd probably be okay.

I'd rather eat the bin than that gaping prolapse of a cake.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Yes I would, you filthy cunt. Eating out of the fucking bin, indeed. I've never heard the like.

Got beaten to the George Costanza reference, too. :'(

It was delicious I'll have you know. Je ne regrette rien.

[Icehaven]

It was probably just past it's use by date, a surprising number of people are way too vigilant about them and throw things away even if they're one day over as if food turns to poison mould as soon as the clock strikes midnight. You can eat canned stuff that's literally years past date and it's still fine.
I still wouldn't have taken and eaten anything out of the bin though because it's the bin, yuk.
