I miss the garbage chute

My roommate has this thing about using giant black garbage bags when he cleans the house. He says it gives him more satisfaction to throw everything into one big bag. Last week when he ransacked the hall closet, he used a garbage bag too big for our bin. I warned him before he started that it wouldn't fit, but he went ahead and filled it anyway.

The whole point of ransacking the closet was so he could fit more stuff into it, including the mysterious box which appeared in our living room last month. He believes this box contains my things, but it actually just holds the recycling which wouldn't fit into our recycling bin two weeks ago. I wanted to get rid of it, but I wanted to play Tetris even more, so I dumped it into an empty box and forgot about it. After he spent all that time tidying the closet to fit it in, I just didn't have the heart to tell him.

So our old cans and bottles are put away neatly in the closet, and a bag of garbage with the circumference of a bathtub is blocking the hallway. Other than that, the place looks pretty good.
