Don't throw your poo bags into people's skips

We're having work done on the house. The skip is outside the back door, and the wall between the back door and the house has been demolished for access. There is temporary metal fencing which clearly shows the skip is on our property.

We live along a lane which is popular with dog walkers. Today I opened the back door to take laundry out and nearly stepped in the poo bag someone had lobbed over the fence towards our skip and obviously missed.

Even if it had gone in the skip, it doesn't get emptied every week. So, as soon as something heavy (like construction materials) was placed on top of the poo bag, that's going to go everywhere, and stink. And probably make it harder to retrieve usable construction materials.

What is wrong with people? Don't put your literal shit on other people's property (oh and actually pick it up and take it home with you/put it in a designated bin regardless).

IABU: totally fine to just throw dog shit anywhere, as long as it's in a bag

IANBU: don't throw actual shit onto other people's property. Or anywhere except a bin or your own house (where you can do what you like with it)

It's a bin calm down. I always do this when I'm on a walk it's very convenient saves me holding on to it till we get to the park

It isn't a bin, that's the whole point.

It's a skip, privately hired and probably designated for building waste.

Did you read what I wrote, about nearly stepping in it and the fact that it doesn't get emptied regularly (it's not a bin)?

Honestly, dog owners are so grim and disgusting when it comes to dealing with their dogs' poo. I don't understand why they get dogs if they don't want to do stuff dog owners have to do.

I was going to say something but won't as I'm so angry having had the misfortune to read this OP

Not at you OP but the factual subject
