To think that humans who shit in the woods should clean up after themselves?

[EasyToEatTiger]

It's pretty revolting when your dog dives into the trees and starts eating human shit. People usually leave something behind which they've been wiping their bum with. People are always moaning about leaving dog poo behind, but little is said about human excrement.

Wow, I thought this was going to be a metaphor.

I found one in the lingerie section of M&S once. Very bizarre. Was definitely adult in size.

ds was once caught short in a country park. We rushed a long, long, long way to the loos. Which were shut, darn it. So he did a poo on the ground behind the loos and we buried it.

If this thread gets long enough, I wonder if we could possibly match up a MNer to a specific poo?

I found one in the shower at the leisure centre when I was a kid, there were loos right next to them

DD needed a poo last year when we were out and she did the most enormous crap under a tree. I was huge.

Luckily there was a carrier bag stuck in the tree so I picked it up in that and then had to carry this enormous warm stinking log for some distance to find a bin to put it in.

Mmmmmmm.

Do dogs really eat human shit?

My son once shat in the woods. He was 3, it was an emergency. I wasn't there, he was with his grandparents - my dad dug a hole, son shat in hole and then they buried it.

Is that OK?

Actually, why don't dog owners carry a trowel and bury the dogshit?

Dogs eat horse-shit, I've seen them doing it. No reason why they wouldn't eat human shit. They're not exactly fussy.

Horse shit is, um, nicer than human shit though

Like rabbits eat their own shit and keep doing it until it's been through a few times and got all the nutrition out

Grass hay etc are hard to digest

When I say "nicer" clearly I am not trying to give the impression that I think it looks tasty!

Do we reckin the poo troll is following this thread?

Some years ago at a, now ex, boyfriends house for Christmas, we were looking out the window for the rest of the family to arrive and saw a guy sitting on the wall opposite.
ex's little brother then pointed out the guy was hanging over the wall and his pants were down
ex phoned the police and asked if it was legal to shit in public on Christmas Day
they sent 2 police vans (slow day), found the guy and returned him to look over the wall. They were pointing in a 'does this below to you' way
they then gave him bags and made him clear it up.

They may find this useful

I am laughing hysterically at that, Weasley!

Crap I was just getting the link to that. I have it though admit I've never read it

How do you recognise human shit?

I was in the middle of Town with DD one day, and she said she was desperate, she was about 2.5 at the time, why didn't i ask what for?

Anyway found a grate, held her over it and she preceded to do the biggest do-do known to child-kind. I was .

Worse still it was the one hot day of the summer we always get.

Mortifying.

Out of interest, would it not be harmful to a dog to eat human excrement?

I always thought it was teeming with nasties?

Someone once pooed in the middle of the toilets in our school once. The headteacher was so angry she actually used the word "shit" whilst talking to the class she suspected were responsible! The scary thing was that it was an all girls school, so I can't imagine why any girl aged 15-16 would want to do something like that....

Definite- consistancy, shape,size and sometime content.

Yes dogs do eat it and if you are going for along walk in the woods, you should carry something to dig with. A large stick usually works (well seasoned camper/walker).

Snapesmistress why the f were you envious of the woolworths shitter?

My Grandfather would never eat Mackeral, he said they loved eating human excrement. Don't know what basis he had for that.

Steben - sometimes people use that emoticon to mean

C'mon MNHQ - please give us a and a (you only need to reverse the biscuit for that one!)

ThePathan - your grandad must have been talking to my grandad, who used to say the same thing.
