Garbage problem: residents shoot at "young neighbors" - irony meets stereotypes

People are getting more and more from different online shops.

Above all, this means that many boxes end up in the garbage.

A few likes and a comment agree with his assessment.

Others focus more on the problem of the full bin.

There are mainly

The problem: "Well, if you can't unfold a box... Then of course it doesn't fit in the bin," writes one user.

A few comments jump on the bandwagon of criticizing the younger generation, comparing the letter to Twitter's character limit.

Accordingly, the letter is too long: "Why do they think that the 'boys' will read such a long time?

That thing is longer than 120 characters.” No matter what the reaction to the note on Instagram is, the problem with the garbage can will certainly not be solved overnight.
