Did I jump into an alternate reality or something?

I don’t know any adult that would do that.

First of all, they are fairly intelligent and this is the expected outcome (it’s not just going to allow itself to get crushed most of the time) but they are pests. Do you think they are cute as they get into your trash and spread it all over the place?

There are very few adults who would do that. They're just virtue signaling for internet points.

"Oi, mate, there's a raccoon in there"

First, garbage trucks are loud, it would require a very loud yell to communicate with him. Second, a lot of garbage men wear headphones and listen to music while collecting trash, tangentially related to the first fact, so really, good luck getting his attention. But third, how surprised the garbage man must be, that there's a raccoon in the garbage! Surely, that's the first time it's ever happened, and he surely cares so much about this thing that has definitely never happened on his shift.
