R.A.B.B. Entry — Trash Bag Paradox (Bucket Mummification Edition)
Sometimes the system is so backwards, it takes a bigger bag to cover a smaller bucket.
Logic says “13-gallon bag = 5-gallon bucket.”
Reality says: rip, tear, fight, curse, DDT.
So you waste a 30-gallon leaf bag just to babysit a pipsqueak bucket that could’ve been handled with half the plastic if the universe wasn’t running comedy night.
It’s bureaucracy in polyethylene form:
- Wrong size for the right job.
- Right size guaranteed to fail.
- Only the oversized, overkill option actually works.
Congratulations, you just wrapped a bucket like it’s King Tut.
Jerry’s Note (Dept. of Petty Affairs):
“Half a shred of self-awareness could’ve saved you from the floppy fish. Instead, you stood there blank until it slapped you across the face.”
