Do you have one of those wheelie bins for trash, composting or recycling that says on the inside of the lid, "Lid must be closed when moving"? I do, and I found out what happens if you don't close the lid, even if you're just trying to push the bin a few feet because you're cleaning out the garage gutters and you want to be able to drop the sludge directly into the compost collection bin when you're up on a stepladder ladder.

It attacked me. I survived, but I swear there are bite marks on my wrist. Wheelie bin bites! Now I know how Mickey felt in the first Ninth Doctor episode.

Why have I still not internalized the "follow instructions" message the nuns tried so hard to drum into my then-youthful skull?
