Dear Debretts...What is the correct form for dealing with dumpster divers under your nose?
I'm throwing out the recycling down in the basement, and this old Chinese lady walks out of one of the rooms (it happens to be the laundry... what? it really did!) and as I'm throwing things into the paper and cardboard bin, starts to rummage around in it. Not from the other side, but so as to stop me throwing more stuff in there. I just stood there filling an empty bag with stuff for that bin as I filled up the glass and plastic bins instead, then chucked it all in. She seemed so keen to read Sunday's news.
