Sorry Brigid... I forgot that they're called Trash containers ( or something like that) in The US.
They are tall black containers with 2 small wheels for ease of pulling along.
People leave them on the footpath ( sidewalk) on bin collection day but it would take a very imaginatively susceptible person to mistake them for people.
I hope he never reads this  rotfl

I understand now, and I can see it and I agree it wouldn't happen to most woman bus drivers. Grin

I  watched  an E.R. show where a man comes in with a helmet on his head and a branch through the helmet and through his head. The helmet was stuck so he didn't even know what had happened. Inexplicalbe indeed! And as I said before you'd never see a woman in that situation. Huh?  But as I watch my son grow up, I'm beginning to understand.

We have the same here Martin. They are called trash cans in the U.S.

Far be it from me to mention this to you ladies but when one looks at the words “Wheelie Bin” there does appear to be a clue in the name.   rotfl

This is a real Irish one but believe me it’s true.
A friend of mine who’s a bus driver, stopped in heavy fog one morning to pick up some waiting passengers. When nobody boarded the bus he got a bit agitated and asked, “Are you’ getting on the bus or not.” Only to discover he was talking to 2 wheelie bins.   Smiley   

Well, there was a fog. He is probably old. Maybe I would have done it. Dark figures, thick fog....could look like people standing. Cheesy
