Can Can

I talked to an old friend last week who is doing a remodeling job at his house and he had more trash than usual. On garbage day he took his trash cans out to the street. The truck came by and emptied his cans. Knowing that the truck would eventually come back on the other side of the street, he refilled the cans and took them across the street. I thought this was pretty clever; the woman across the street from him did not agree and had some harsh words for my friend. Meanwhile, all the garbage got picked up.

To patch things up with the woman across the street, he took her a cheese cake. She was not home so he gave it to one of her kids. He’s never heard anything from them. So now he’s asking me, if he needs to double dump again, did the cheese cake cover multiple double dumps, or does he need to take a cheese cake over there every time he double dumps? Does anybody know the proper etiquette on this?
