It’s day 245 of living together for a young Betoota Grove couple, which also means it’s day 245 that Ben Hawkins is yet to discover the bin that’s been sitting in their bathroom the whole time.
Despite its obvious position, the bin has managed to elude Mr Hawkins on a number of occasions. Girlfriend, Bec Coffey, explained some of those instances to our reporter a little earlier.
“Where do I start?”
“When he changes the toilet roll, a process that’s impossible to carry out without seeing the bin, he just puts the empty one on the fucking bench next to the bin!”
“It’s like the bin is invisible”
“Oh, and dental floss!”
“There’s a pile of used dental floss on the bench, again, right next to the bin”
While putting these miscellaneous objects in the bin may seem like a simple task for Ms Coffey, Mr Hawkins shares a slightly different opinion.
“We have a bin?”
After informing Mr Hawkins of the angst it causes his girlfriend, instead of admitting the errors of his ways, he doubled down and stuck to his guns.
“But how can I put something in a bin that I didn’t even know what there?”
“Also, why wouldn’t she just put it in the bin if it bothers her so much and she knows where the bin is?”
It’s understood that Bec refused to put the bathroom waste away because she was trying to teach her boyfriend a lesson – a familiar scenario that rings true across Australia we’re sure.
More to come.
