DEAR MISS MANNERS: Alongside my apartment building, just under my bedroom window, there is a large dumpster for 20 residents. It is emptied two days per week, but until it is emptied, it is often sloppily overflowing with trash. The trash is also regularly on TOP of the dumpster instead of in it, even when there is room inside, and of course it smells.
Strangers often play a part in this problem as they approach the dumpster, rip open bags and pull out trash in search of redeemable 5-cent bottles. They then either leave the ripped bags askew or take them with them for storage, further destroying an already unsightly area with the mess they’ve left behind.
Should I mention it or not? I have already told management about smokers in the building , and loud music that would start at 11:30 p.m. GENTLE READER: You will definitely be viewed as a troublemaker. But Miss Manners would have asked a different question. Namely, “Is this not precisely the sort of trouble that building management is paid to address?”DEAR MISS MANNERS: I was invited to a public event by a friend and neighbor, but I had already made plans to attend with a separate group of friends. I politely declined, but I know I will run into him while there.
GENTLE READER: Your problem is not just that your neighbor-friend does not get along with your hosts -- your problem is that your neighbor is going to think that you accepted an identical invitation after turning his down.
