There were three instructions on this bin and together they caused me a problem. I was more than ready to dispose of my rubbish considerately and carefully and happy to try it without touching any of the bin's surfaces, however my attempts at doing it from a 2 metre distance proved repeatedly futile.
If the bin had been open to the elements I am pretty confident I could have achieved my goal in three or four tries. My problem was that the fixed lid for stubbing out cigarettes, seriously reduced my target area. It was quite a windy day and and my empty paper cup proved prone to drift.
I'm sorry to admit that on my eventual successful considerate rubbish disposal, I might have been slightly closer than 2 metres from the bin although I don't think anyone still watching would have blamed me.
Sometimes we find targets difficult to hit. There seem to be too many stipulations and we don't have the time or the patience to fulfil everything demanded of us. I think one of the reasons I love Christianity as a faith and Jesus as a person is because he removed the need for me to get rid of my rubbish by following a set of impossible rules. He just took the rubbish off me and dealt with it.
