I hope you then throw it in the local river. I believe that is the approved method of disposal.

Or you can go for maximum twatage and thow it at a bin, miss, and then just leave it there.

I feel like direct to river is a higher level of twatage than attempting to put it in the bin.

Oh no they don't attempt, they just throw it. They are the same people who burn the plastic in bus shelters so you can't read the timetable.

The ones that piss all over the toilet at public establishments? The ones who press on the emergency brake on escalators?

How so? You just hook the little tab under the bottle thread and it stays open.

Me too! I was thinking they had really let their quality control go. It wasn't until I noticed it on a milk carton that I realized something was up.

I always rip them off because they're annoying as fuck, but I also always have and do recycle them anyway

I hate to tell you this but...

I am pretty sure that they can't recycle black plastic unless it is attached to something else recyclable.

I believe it's something to do with the scanners have difficulty spotting black plastic and sorting it correctly.

Same, caught me out the other day - first time I’d come across it and thought it was a fault, nearly spilled my drink in the process :)
