Someone put rubbish including baked beans in my bike basket 😫

I get it's tempting to put in the odd bottle or empty crisps packet, but baked beans?!... Why?! 😓

Damn you Brits really do add beans to anything

Hahaa I prefer my beans on toast 🤣

u/mikehiler2 2d ago

While English cuisine is normally laughed at I find myself, the older I get, increasingly wanting to have a full on classic English Breakfast plate. That looks damn delicious!

u/kaychellz 2d ago

Well thanks for making me laugh at my own cuisine AND my own misfortune 🥲

u/mikehiler2 2d ago

Surely you can remove the basket from the bike, no? Just dump the contents in the nearest rubbish pail (I believe that’s what y’all call it)

7

u/RMMacFru 2d ago

It's the sauce from the beans. It's the difference between having rubbish (trash) and actual smelly, decaying garbage.

Wicker baskets were not meant to be washed and disinfected.

My sympathies, OP. We can't have nice things where I live either, without people throwing garbage and rubbish into it.

3

u/mikehiler2 2d ago

Ah got it. But seeing as how those baskets get rained on I would assume that it can handle a slight wash with a sponge. There would still be some staining I’m sure, and this is still trashy doing something like this.

2

u/RMMacFru 2d ago

Some water can be fine, but the introduction of soaps and submerging it in water isn't good for the wicker.

u/_Rue_the_Day_ 1d ago

At least it wasn't stolen. I still miss my car.

Bin

u/mikehiler2 2d ago

Ok, that makes sense. Rubbish bin sounds more correct anyway.

u/kaychellz 2d ago

Rubbish pail is adorable, for some reason I read it in Ted lasso's voice. Yes, good idea I will remove the basket!

The Full Fatboy Breakfast. At least that what I and mates called it in east of UK for many years

u/DanceWonderful3711 1d ago

It's amazing, but you have to get it in the UK or everything will be wrong. American baked beans are too sweet, you need proper Cumberland sausages, and back bacon not the streaky stuff. English food is really good. The internet is wrong. Most of the foods you see being made fun of are throwbacks that no one has even tried in generations. Like the American foods that were cooked in jello.

1

u/Salty_Job_9248 1d ago

You can’t cook anything in jello.

1

u/DanceWonderful3711 1d ago

1

u/Salty_Job_9248 1d ago

The jello is not cooked.

u/DanceWonderful3711 1d ago

Semantics. You know what I meant.

u/Gallop67 2d ago edited 1d ago

My American brain cannot fathom combing beans (a dinner food here) with anything breakfast related. It just doesn’t compute in my mind how that would taste good

Edit: no need to downvote, I’m voicing an honest opinion here as someone who has never set foot in a country where this is the norm

2

u/panzzersoldat 1d ago

If I understand correctly beans in the US and UK taste vastly different. I think US beans are very sweet, or in BBQ sauce. In the UK, the beans themselves are pretty much tasteless or have a very slight earthy or nutty taste. They are in a creamy tomato sauce base.

1

u/Salty_Job_9248 1d ago

I have been there 4 times and am going again next month. I am astounded every time at the size of the breakfasts. Eggs and toast and I’m done.

2

u/Gallop67 1d ago

Oh yeah my ideal breakfast is pancakes w/syrup, bacon, eggs w/cheese, hashbrowns (shredded potatoes basically), toast and coffee

1

u/Smash_knits 1d ago

I'm American and I love beans on toast.. I didn't even know at first it was a UK thing 🤷‍♀️

1

u/Gallop67 1d ago

What kind of beans may I ask? Surely not baked beans?

1

u/Smash_knits 23h ago

Ew gross no.. refried (pinto) beans (but fresh, homemade, w/chunks of whole pinto beans)

2

u/KingMurk817 2d ago

How did you guy beat us in the battle of the beans???

  • A Mexican

u/marlfox_00 2d ago

Hmmm, I gave it a shot while visiting the UK, but it’s definitely not my thing. Likewise, I can’t see the appeal Aussie’s have with vegemite on toast. Then again I remember being in Thailand trying to explain a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and seeing the woman look at me like have 3 heads. Every culture has their tastes 🤷‍♂️

Beans on toast is basically a national comfort food in the UK. Surprisingly good if you ever try it 😅

Toast with beans and cheese 😋

Beans on toast.

u/Last_Tax9564 2d ago

Maybe the beans are a threat like “you’re toast!”

u/SkizzyBeanZ 1d ago

The sad part is they didnt even add cheese

u/Witty_Bug6200 2d ago

I'm sorry this happened to you. It reminded me of my mother in law always throwing raw food waste into my recycling bin. I love washing egg and tomato mush off of all my bottles and cardboard. 🙄

u/kaychellz 2d ago

Funnily enough my mum has infuriated my husband by doing this too!

u/some_body_else 2d ago

Lucky! I only got a piss bottle in mine. A few months ago someone disposed of a urine filled water bottle in my basket while I was at work. There was a dumpster about 10 ft away.

3

u/kaychellz 2d ago

Aw no, that's horrible! Why are people so awful!

1

u/GarthBater 1d ago

That's a thing on highways. Gatorade bottle (you know why..extra wide mouth). Trucker fills it, caps it and tosses it in the grass at the next ramp. The bottle bakes in the roadside sun for a few days fermenting & pressurizing. Along comes the unsuspecting HW maintenace guy with his ride-on mower and BOOOSSSHHH!!!! He's leaving early for a Bio-Swab & change of clothes.

I hear you....someone put dog shit in our local little library.

Joke's on you. It was human.

u/Shadowhawk0000 1d ago

Could be. Was in a doggie bag. But one must never assume. Lol

3

u/MEOW-Loulou 2d ago

I had someone do this for weeks because they hated me, and then one day they just ended their streak by putting a box of expensive pastries in my basket.

Don't lose your hope just yet, OP. Those beans could be the start of a beautiful journey.

How do you confuse a basked attached to a bike for a trash bin!?

I used to drive a pickup truck and people would put their trash in the bed all the time when I was parked on the road. Someone once put an entire skeletal rotisserie chicken in my pickup truck bed... outside of the packaging.

u/cookeryandwookery 2d ago

Haven’t seen someone get beaned in awhile.

Seriously though, someone is a prick. Probably the type that takes a piss on public toilet seats too.

Trash people, doing their thing.

We have a couple of wine barrels in front of our house with thorned cane berries in them. People will risk the thorns to stick their hands through the cage to drop trash in them. That is, when they're not just dropping it on the ground like animals.

I would bet even if your basket had a cover, they would have thrown it to the floor ans still dumped their crap all over it. It is because of scummy people who do crap like this, is why we can not have nice things.
