Used Sanitary Pads Repeatedly Found Near Clean Laundry Outside HDB Kitchen Window

From dripping water to drying pork on window ledges meant for drying clothes, we have seen all sorts of weird happenings.

And today, it’s another type that’ll make you go: How difficult is it to be a considerable neighbour?

Used Sanitary Pads Repeatedly Found Near Clean Laundry Outside HDB Kitchen Window

As every lady should know, used sanitary pads should be wrapped well and disposed of in a bag. However, Facebook user Gail Siow has a neighbour that does not seem to be aware of the proper disposal of a sanitary pad.

She uploaded a post on 24 October detailing the disgusting scene outside her window. Sitting on the ledge right next to her clean drying laundry is a visibly used sanitary pad.

The post was submitted to the Complain Singapore group on Facebook. The group is dedicated to Singaporeans who feel the need to share their daily “complain worthy” experiences.

We can only imagine the horror of finding a bloody item next to our laundry.

The image showed the pad stuck to the ledge precariously close to bedsheets, and it could have come into contact with the laundry and stained it.

And apparently, that is not the first time it has happened. In her caption, she mentioned that it was the second time that has happened on the same day. She ended her post with angry emoticons expressing her obvious displeasure.

The post has since gotten over a thousand likes and more than 200 shares.

Same Woes, Different Foes

Many netizens commented under her post to share their similar experiences with inconsiderate neighbours.

A Facebook user shared, “Same I stay in (a) rental flat at central side. I stay below level got backyard balcony. Always neighbour no brain from up level throw cigarettes, tissue, cotton bud, sweet wrapper, seed fruit, everyday plastic food, and throw dust. Every day, I sweep the rubbish they throw. If (I) shout to them don’t throw, they purposely throw and they find fault and make noise back”.

Others recommended her to “Write a note at the lift” and threaten the litterbug.

Some encouraged residents with such neighbours to report it to the Housing Development Board (HDB) or the town council.
