Who does these things?

This is a confession thread and also a mystery solving thread.

There are certain things in life that everyone seems to hate, but I've never ever seen anyone own up to doing, and I would like these people to own up now because I need to know your demographic and why you do them. This is anonymous, you are safe here, tell the truth.

WHO are the people that hang dog poo bags on trees? Who are you and WHY?
WHO are the people that bought all the toilet rolls during covid?

Please add your own answers and your own confessions. Especially the dog poo one because it's everywhere, and yet I never see anyone doing it or owning up to it.

I think the poo bag people plan to pick it up on the way back on their walk but then forget.

Maybe if they hang it on a post or push it next to something, but not the ones that throw it up into trees!🤣

I bought toilet rolls at the beginning of the pandemic.

more accurately I bought bloody everything - rice, pasta, loo rolls, tins of stuff - after Brexit and kept it stocked up on rotation. It was all in the shed. It came in bloody useful.

I feel like starting a post that asks.

What is it that make people think hanging poo temporarily so you can pick it up on the way home is okay?

It's not.

No one should have to see your poo bag whilst they are out enjoying the countryside. 🙄

YY to the poo bags on trees. Revolting!

I've never seen dog poo bags hanging on trees in my life.

I did buy a lot of toilet rolls at the beginning of the pandemic.

Why? why toilet rolls? and why so many?
I need to know, I promise I won't be mean to you. I just need to know why.

Good luck on your quest for answers OP. If there any of the culprits are on here I doubt they will tell us the truth. Is anyone up for telling us why they throw rubbish out of their cars while driving? I mean how hard is it to take your rubbish home?

WTF is wrong with the poo bag people? So gross!

Felt very guilty the one time I spat out gum, as my mum hates chewing gum stuck to the pavement.

My in-laws do fly-tipping all the time. They got fined.

WHY?!

I don't understand fly tipping. The only decent reason I can think of for not taking your crap to the dump is because you don't have a vehicle. But surely if you have a vehicle to drive shit out to the countryside and dump it, you have one to take it to the tip?

Why do your in-laws fly tip? have they said?

I don't want to clog up the thread with "not me!" posts (which are inevitable,) so I'll just ask the person who's voted YABU to perhaps explain their stance..
