About 1am this morning
I awoke with a kick-stand which could only mean one thing - I had a full bladder. So I got my dressing gown and went to the bathroom to micturate. When I finished, I then heard a bit of a commotion outside. I opened the window slightly and peered out.

There across the road was a young couple arguing whilst a second bloke looked on. Well, I say arguing, the lass was doing all the shouting. She then took off what I think was a bracelet or maybe a watch, opened a nearby bin, slung it in and then stormed off. The blue recycling bins were collected this morning which is why they were in the street last night.

I could see the kid gesturing to who I assume was his mate, and I could hear him chuntering on a bit. He then went over to the bin, lifted the lid and tried to use his phone as a light source to see if he could retrieve whatever it was.

He then muttered something to his mate again before leaning into the bin whilst his mate held his legs. His mate in a moment of madness thought it would be funny to let go. So he did, flicking his legs upwards for maximum effect. I heard some muffled screams and banging and judging by the amount of leg sticking out of the top, the bin was maybe half full. He kicked and shouted a lot and could clearly not get any purchase to push himself out. These aren't your regular wheelie-bins, they're the slightly narrower smaller bins, so I imagine there's precious little room in there to do anything apart from store rubbish.

All the while I could see his mate bent over wetting himself at the sight. The kid in the bin thrashed his legs about some more and with one massive kick of his legs, a kick that would have launched him out of the sea like a performing dolphin had he been scuba diving, he managed to tip the bin over. This left him lying on his back, mostly still laid inside the bin like some sort of giant mutant hermit crab. It seemed to take him for ever to wriggle out again. It didn't help that the girlfriend had come back for round two, and thought she could best drive her point home by booting the side of the bin as he tried to escape.

Had it been a more public area and not so late, I would've assumed it was an impromptu stunt that would appear on YouTube shortly afterwards.
