Who does these things?

That's not shaming, she hasn't named names or taken photos of people doing it . If she had, maybe it would make those people stop leaving their poo bags? How is that a bad thing ? If someone was urinating in the streets or spitting everywhere it wouldn't be considered bullying to tell them to stop because it's gross. I don't see how this is different. People are resilient and nobody is so thin skinned that they will wither away from being told "argh that's gross please don't do that. "

Where have I actually been unkind? I haven't said anything unkind. I'm just saying i think it's grim and don't understand why people do it.

I know about real bullying. I have CPTSD from a childhood where I was abused by the adults who were supposed to care for me and bullied constantly by my peers. There is no comparison between what I went through and saying on an internet forum "I don't like people leaving poo bags in trees, I don't understand why they can't double bag it and take it home." If I can do it, so can they. There is nothing about me that makes me special in this regard. It's just basic human decency .

I might be able to answer.

I don’t do any of these things. But growing up in the 80s/90s my parents always let our dogs shit in the street. My mum thought that she was being really considerate by making the dog do it on the grass instead of right in the middle of the pavement.

They were also guilty of fly tipping. I can remember being taken out late at night with my mum or dad to dump stuff. They dropped litter and fag ends in the street too.

They don’t do these things anymore because they’ve learnt that it’s wrong. Not just that it’s wrong but it’s about being more considerate.

It wasn’t uncommon in those days where we lived and they were badly bought up, selfish and ignorant.

What about them? In a perceived emergency people, rightly or wrongly, tend to focus on their nearest and dearest.

That’s public shaming you should pop down to your local park and do, not log onto mumsnet and do

They should be publicly shamed we had a tree cut down in my area because dog walkers refused to stop doing it council got fed up with clearing it so they took the tree dog walkers then began dropping the bags on the ground there was a bin five minutes walk away there is no reason for it none at all

I bulk buy toilet roll due to asd ds he can get through a roll a poo literally! I bought extra during covid so I didn't have to leave the house as often as their dad refused to take them I had to take them shopping with me so reduce the trips reduce the risks buy in bulk 🤷‍♀️

It’s Bullying to purposely be unkind to them with the aim of publicly shaming them.

You’re trying to do it here and we aren’t even in a park standing next to discarded poo talking about it 😂

It's not bullying to say you disapprove of people leaving dog poo bags in the trees. This is something someone can control . It's not like shaming someone for their weight or hair colour.

Bullies think the same. It’s ok of them to be cruel because they’re putting inferior people right.

A healthy sense of shame and social responsibility is a good thing, surely. I doubt it will harm them.

No, most decent people would double or triple bag it and put it in their pocket or handbag until they could find a bin to dump it in.

I've had one of the eggs 😬😂 it was nice, but not £80 nice unfortunately.

I completely agree with this. It is horrible and too many are forgotten about and left behind despite the 'good intentions'. The damage being done to our countryside by dog walkers goes way beyond poo-bags, but of course nobody wants to admit it and this isn't the right thread for a general anit-dog rant.

I'm guilty of toilet roll hoarding - even now I have over 100 hidden away in various crevices.

Why? - I'm slightly obsessed with Lionel Shriver's book, The Mandibles and am convinced it's going to come true (in fact the way the US is at the moment it might actually be true).

My question - Who buys the Easter eggs in Hotel chocolat - the £80 Ostrich ones? My second question - if you're that rich, can you buy me one?

I panicked the week before lockdown when there was no toilet roll in Tesco. Got 24 rolls from Home Bargains even though we didn't need it. I think we opened it in the August.

I am very sorry.

Oh is it? I assumed they were in biodegradable bags and they left it all on the tree to biodegrade

But I don’t know. I’ve never seen anybody do it, so I’d assume they do it secretly, because they know it’s a disgusting thing to do.

But then, I guess, why would they pick it up at all, then?

So I still don’t understand 🤷‍♀️

Ok didn’t want to derail another thread with this question so will ask here…

Who doesn’t always have their house key with them when they leave the house?

Is this a culture thing? (American asking)

There is about a thread a week detailing how impossible it is that some random family member is causing a door to left unlocked in the middle of the night because they don’t have a house key. 🔑

I had a friend who resented having to pick up her dogs’ poos. She would begrudgingly do it, then hang the filled poo bags on a bush or tree, with no intention of ever collecting them.
She was a strange woman and we are no longer friends, not because of the dangling dog poo bags but I was repulsed by it and shocked at her attitude.

My username isn't actually related to that...

My husband got some side-eyes buying a fair bit of loo roll during the pandemic. I'd just had an emergency op to remove my gallbladder and I was having arse related side effects for a while afterwards

i sometimes bag and leave poop to pick up on my return trip home vs walking with a poop bag for 30-60 minutes. all in all my neighborhood is clean and since everyone has camera's occasionally people are shamed on fb. i place my bag discretely at the base of a lamp post.
toilet paper, ah yes i'm a faithful costco shopper so regularly load up and for covid doubled down on two packages (so 60 rolls). I also stocked up on garbage bags...the box of 200 is still going strong from 2020 (i use one a week sometimes it lasts two weeks before full).

I take it back home with me, but the place I go and time I go I never see anyone. When we go on our smaller walks in busy areas I always take it because there's a bin just about every 2 minutes. I only have one arm that works so you can imagine wrangling a large breed dog, a lead, and a poop bag and my treat/water belt isn't the easiest.

There's no bins where we go, and we go at 5am, so no people, so I'm totally fine with leaving my bag behind a tree for a while and taking it home again. It disturbs noone, I haven't seen anyone at that hour on that walk for months and months and it makes it easier for me to manage after thinking I was going to have to give her up.

I'm good with what I'm doing, I'm a very responsible owner and I do clean up after her every time. Sometimes I do the odd thing that makes life a bit easier for myself and doesn't impact anyone else.

Oh well that's all right then.

We all enjoy seeing your dog poo bags when we are out enjoying the countryside.

It's brave of you to own up and interesting to get your prespective, but please take it with you.

Its disgusting leaving it anywhere (even if you feel it's out of sight) and there's no reason why you can't carry it with you.

Even if temporary it's like a revolting kind of littering.
