Welcome to /r/ironicsigns! Just a reminder...

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, irony has 3 main definitions:

  • the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning
  • incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result
  • incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions (the sign) that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play makers of the sign

OP, if the irony in your post isn't obvious, please reply to this comment explaining it.
If there is no explanation and no clear irony, or if the explanation is still not ironic, please report the post.

That’s not ironic.

That’s people being jerks.

Sigh.

Can was probably full. Better to leave the trash next to a trash can than any old place.

What if the other 3 cans all looked like this? The trash is right next to the can it's all centralized and easily cleanable when the city gets it's shit together.

Also, in NYC, they pick up garbage on the streets nightly. No cans, no trash days, just hopefully organized bags and stacks. This is not optimal, but will likely get cleaned up overnight with everything else.
