On the phone with a friend, explaining that I'd forgotten it was Garbage day, Month end and all, and she says:
"Well don't you have a bin?" and I say "What do you mean?" and she explains "Well, it's not like you have to take out the garbage on a certain day..." and I clarify: "No, it's garbage day. Yesterday was month end...I have to go foraging through the Alleys for some furniture and other finds..." and she starts to laugh and tell me that to most people, garbage day means take it out, only to me does it mean bring it in...
Upon reflection, I can see how that might appear odd to people...
