Just a really dumb peeve

I've been trying to get my house organized, and have been getting rid of lots of crap that's been piling up over the last 9 years. This month - 2 mirrored closet doors.

In order to get bulk trash picked up in Baltimore, you have to fill out an online form, then they email you and verify the date. It's a pretty easy system really.

But everytime I fill out the form I am baffled by one thing.

The City of Baltimore bulk trash pickup asks you to fill in your City and State.

Hey, dumbass, I'm in Baltimore! Can I schedule you to pick up my sister's trash in Columbus, Ohio? Maybe my friends in Florida have some bulk trash to be picked up. Of COURSE I'm in Baltimore! Why do I have to type in the city and choose my state from a DROP DOWN BOX of all 50 states?

I know, it's the little things.
