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.

My friend worked with a phantom crapper who would crap in people's unlockable desk drawers.

People realised the crapper was sometimes crapping in his/her own drawers to throw them off the scent, so to speak.

It was genuinely upsetting. I don't know whether they ever discovered the culprit because my friend left while it was still going on.

MORE than 250 Westcountry farms are using treated human waste as crop fertiliser

However disgusting human shit is, dog shit is worse. They have no business living amongst us.

Dogs smell. And the houses they live in smell. If you have a dog and think your house doesn't smell, it's because you've got used to it - a bit like someone who has no idea they have BO.

Horrible.

someone did it in the changing room of my shop. Glad I wasnt there, i can't handle (excuse pun) human shit, except babies of course.

Have also had someone shit in the fitting room of a shop I ran. Boak.

How do people justify shitting in public places?

I think when you are so far gone you are shitting in a public space, you no longer have the need to justify it.

We had someone spread their poo all over one of the staircases during my freshers week at university. It was revolting. After a stern letter from the college authorities, it was forever known as The Scatological Incident on Staircase 7

A friend of mine once left his convertible car with the roof off in a city centre overnight - had one too many and sensibly got the train home. Came back the next morning to a big log on the drivers seat! Ick.

There is medical incontinence.... Then there is this....So much for lack of dignity. I've used to go to Rome regularly. It rings some alarming bells to be reminded of the amount of poo there around the ruins from none other animal than...TaDa! US!

mrsbethel I don't have a dog but you are surely just trying to get a rise.

Or alternatively, you need to get a life.

at phantom crapper limitedperiod. Could it have been some sort of strange fetish??

And I thought the phantom sandwich stealer was bad....,.

cake we thought it was a fetish or a need to dominate or humiliate.

I thought it was funny at first because it wasn't happening to me but it really unsettled people and made them so suspicious of everyone else. So sinister.

How big is fox poo?

MrsBethel thanks for telling me that my house smells.

Or in the words of an old friend, "Don't your shit stink?"

BTW it is absolutely fine to shit in the woods in you take a spade and bury it properly. A trowel won't dig deep enough, it should be buried a good 8".

This is a much better way to dispose of human excrement than by flushing it into the water system.

Urgh. I found a human turd on the slide in the village playground. The other mum who was there and I pretended it was dog, as we didn't want our kids thinking people did that sort of thing, but no way does a dog get on a slide to shit. By great good fortune, some council workers turned up, the only time I've ever seen them there so it got cleaned up.

If you have a dog and think your house doesn't smell, it's because you've got used to it

My dog (short haired dachshund) really doesn't smell (unless you stick your nose in his ear. Dogless friends have commented its the only house with a dog which doesn't smell doggy at all.

OMG! This thread is MENTAL!

I would LOVE a Dachshund!

Just been watching the pr exercise documentary on the tube. Apparently they used to have a phantom crapper at Tottenham Court Road - all those CCTV cameras and they never caught him. A guy who works there said they reckoned it was someone who actually brought his faeces with him in a bag, as if someone had been crouching down having a dump they've have caught him.

"They have no business living amongst us"

No, quite right MrsB! It's disgusting! Hairy sweaty mammals who shit and fart and piss, daring to live amongst ...oh hang on....amongst hairy sweaty mamals who shit and fart and piss!

On, and when it comes to being sensitive to smells, dogs are far better than humans. You probably smell much stronger to them than they do to you.... they are just polite enough not to make a fuss

Orm - dogs don't sweat. That's why they have to pant when they're hot.

Its suprising they deign to live among us.

All that yummy air freshener and Dettol!
Perhaps the local authorities could put up posters along the lines of Don't leave dog turds where you wouldn't leave your own?

Can I just be a smug dog owner and say my dogs don't actually smell? At all. Greyhounds don't smell Non-dog owners come into the house and can't smell anything unless the greys are having a fart-off. The only thing that gets a bit whiffy is the dog bed if I don't change the cover every week.
