Elitist...trash collectors?

Guess what? More issues around here where I live. This time, its the trash collectors that have demands. As I've said in previous posts, the people around here are rather elitist, and if they see something they don't like, they bitch and moan about it (pardon my language) ad nausea, until something gets done.

Well, this seems to have infected the trash collectors now. We all got a notice today that our receptacles were to be placed, get this, in a perfectly straight line on the other side of the parking lot.

Now, I realize that this is supposed to make it easier for them and all, but the problem here is that the place where they want the trash cans placed will obstruct a good portion of the parking lot, not to mention make it very hard to get out in the morning.

Of course, they didn't think...or don't care, about that, as they go on to say that if we don't follow this "request" (demand is more like it), they won't pick up the trash. WTF?!?

We have a homeowner's meeting tomorrow to discuss what to do about this. I see the purpose in making it easier for them and all, but the threat seems a bit much. To me its like if they don't get what they want, they're going to huff and puff until they do.
