A skunk has taken over your garbage can. You only left it out there overnight, once. It was so late when you got home and raining, it’s just a garbage can… But, now it’s a skunk infested, skunk smelling can that you’d rather avoid.
How do you get the skunk to leave the can? You can’t leave the can sitting at the end of your driveway no matter how much you’d rather do that than risk getting skunk sprayed.
Oh, for heavens’ sake, just put the lid on the can, tape it down, toss it in the dump, and buy a new can.
I would kick the can over and run screaming for the house until my nosey neighbor across the street came out, saw the trash can in the street and moved it over to my garage. He loves doing things like that.
