He's never said anything to me about it, and it took me a while to figure out it was him.
We don't get charged for collection based on volume, so this has no real effect on me, but it bugs me nonetheless. I realize that it's just a territorial instinct (every Friday I think of that Curb episode where a neighbor of Larry's became irate that Larry put an apple core in the neighbor's trash bin), but it also irritates me that he freeloads off my labor of dragging the bins back and forth down my driveway. I have to get my hands dirty and make four trips every collection day, and he never does. In his favor, he doesn't have any fucking windchimes, so I can let this go as just something weird that he does.
So my question is this -- how many of you would find this slightly annoying, and why?

It depends. I know you said that you aren't charged based on volume, but is everybody automatically charged for curb service if they don't use it? Is it possible that you never see a trash can in front of his house because he off-loads his crap on all his neighbors? If that's the case, you have a really good reason to be pissed.
