Outside of the house there is a nice little bench on which to sit. Right next to the gate. Relaxing spot when you want to people watch and talk with the neighbours.
Doesn't it look lovely? The problem is the whole neighbourhood has taken it upon themselves to use our little bench as their own pit stop and restaurant. After buying snacks from the sari-sari store they sit there and eat them. The unfamiliar smell of strangers causes the dogs to bark. Thankfully we all know how quietly Filipinos conduct their conversations.
But not only do they treat our little bench as their own rest spot, they also use it as a garbage dump. Take a look at all the trash they stuff in the trees and bench and toss on the ground.
If sitting on your neighbour's bench and treating it like a garbage dump isn't the definition of rude then I don't know what is.
