Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a mini-series of caches that will be highlighting what I've found to be bad ideas in general when it comes to a hide.
This series could cover any aspect of a cache, from the container to log, location, or even the finder.
Hopefully this series of a few bad examples will deter others from duplicating them.

Just when you thought it was safe to go Geocaching again........Then someone hides some of their garbage........

FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL-FAIL

I really don't understand why people choose to use their home garbage as cache containers?
You know the type of containers I'm talkin about here.
Most come to terrorize us in the form of food containers, although they are not limited to strictly food only types.
This cache will focus on food containers.
Now come on Einsteins, there was food in this container and now you're gonna hide it somewhere outside.
Sure you rinsed/washed it out, but still the food odors are adsorbed into the container, which was most likely made out of plastic, and now you've got a animal/rodent motel, AKA, Geocache.
You often scratch your head and wonder "why do my containers always get chewed up?".
We don't come over to your house and dig thru your kitchen garbage, so please don't try to trick us into it by hiding it and calling it a Geocache.
Some of my favorites are food containers that still have some residue left in them.
Just wait until you come across the semi-elusive cottage cheese tub with residue.
GAG A FREAKING MAGGOT!
For my setup here, I've chosen a food-type container.
For your enjoyment, I've left a tiny bit of residue in it too.
You probably should bring along a latex glove or two, and hand wipes wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Honeybees, wasps, ants, possums, skunks, groundhogs, snakes, deer, goats, maggots, and bigfoots could possibly be encountered near the ground zero of this cache.
Just use some caution when approaching.
When I placed this cache, I had no more than set it into its hiding spot, then this monster sized maggot appeared out of nowhere.
