Is it the used item after a single-use, or the entire bin after several uses?
For the single-use, it actually kind of makes sense not to take it out. There are 2 possibilities when you go to the machine: it either has a used capsule, or it's empty. If you're the type of person that wants to throw away the used capsule each time you make a coffee, then you potentially need to throw away 2 capsules each time you make a coffee. Someone else's when you get there, and your own after making coffee. If you never throw away your own capsule, then you guarantee that you will only ever have to throw away max one capsule when you get to the machine, and so does everyone else after you (assuming they do the same).
And if you murder everyone who leaves the capsule in, eventually the problem completely solves itself!
As for the bin, that's a diff story, and I guess someone just needs to bite the bullet and empty it.
I understood it as power causes responsibility, and therefore, no power means no responsibility. If they're just correlated, then there's no way of knowing if no power is also correlated with no responsibility.
Snitch on a loved one? Never. If I thought it was ethically or morally wrong, I would tell them what I think about it. Good people also make mistakes, and good people can change.
Logged in/out. Will see if the issue happens again this week.
Hesitant to switch now that everything is set up the way I like it :)
