Because in the days before streaming and what not
Taking the trash out suddenly became really urgent during a first run episode of The Simpson’s or The X Files and could absolutely not wait until the commercial break that would give me enough time to carry out this task.
So I think it’s more of parents asserting dominance is why this simple task gets people riled up

Maggots. Roaches. Other things many find gross that Bray Wyatt could summon an animated picture of. Not to mention possums and raccoons may crawl into the trash container. Those and coyotes are an issue out where I live. that is why Most have a trash can corral with a lid.

I always wonder that about laundry. It's more waiting for the cycles to wrap up than anything. Folding and putting away is the chore part of it. I'll wash/dry all day long. I havent folded any clothing since I got out of the Army in 96. Clean clothes get laid in stacks on a table in my room.

Whether you do, don’t keep pushing the trash down and say to your wife: “It’s not full yet.” Also, don’t call the garbage men “trash eating stink bags.” Also, don’t get the idea that cutting off the trash service to your home is going to somehow cause THEM (aka city hall) to buckle under the pressure.
If your a janitor and your job is to take out the trash, don’t wait until it’s full-full. Take out the trash even if it’s half-full and it will ruin YOUR efficiency system (those of you who watched the Honeymooners episode “Dial J For Janitor” will get the joke.)

What if I ran for Sanitation Commissioner?

Simple for me: my city doesn’t want us putting trash out until 7pm on collection nights, but that means by that time I’ll have gotten home, done some work and/or exercise, cooked dinner, and now all I want to do is plop down on my couch and put the baseball or hockey game on and veg out for awhile.
Instead, I finish all the other stuff and then realize “oh goody, time to walk this bag down from the third floor to the street”, and it’s just a bummer, man. Same thing with the one night a week they collect recyclables.
Does make me miss living in my old apartment complex where every floor had a room with a recycle bin and a garbage chute; just take the stuff down the hall any time you feel like it in that situation.

I’ve literally just done this, and I won’t lie - I enjoy doing it. It’s a necessary job but it’s MY job in the house (though of course I do other stuff), but I also use it as a ‘springboard’ to the weekend. I get the rubbish ready on Wednesday night, take it out Thursday and think ‘Right, Friday tomorrow, nearly the weekend’.
All done now until next week. This pleases me.

We have possums, but they thankfully don't seem to really have any practical way into garbage containers here and mostly just eat bugs.

The company that handles trash here decided a while back that they weren't going to handle food unless it was separated into its own container. They actually wanted people to refrigerate said container 'til pickup day. Stupid, really. So my mom and I take it out back in a bucket and feed the wildlife.
It stinks to high heaven, plus idiot nephew does the bare minimum when it comes to mowing the backyard (I'm talking cutting a single path through one side and leaving everything else looking like a jungle, and no he's not doing it by hand either), so it's a pain to navigate and we've gotta watch out for ticks when it's not winter.

The garbage was the easy task for me. I preferred doing that over mowing the lawn or pulling weeds. Anything involving plants is never done exactly right to parents. Meanwhile the garbage goes from the trash can to the bin. Easy, bing bang boom.

Somehow people always end up wanting you to do it at an inconvenient time.
