It's not OK to put your dog crap in my wheelie bin

The bin men have changed our collection time its now late afternoon. DD2 and I went to the post office and when we came back bin emptied. All good so far. DD2 asks are we going to take the bin in but because I couldn't be arsed to wash my hands yet again, I said no leave it. Then I forgot about it until next morning.

Next morning went to retrieve bin and throw a black sack in and there in the bottom was ...... a package of dog poo.

Why?

If I wanted dog poo in my bin, I'ld have my own bloody dog. I am now the custodian of poop for a week. Why should I be just because I didn't take my bin in quick enough.

I suspect it was the woman who deliberately brings her greyhounds to the small greenward in front of my house to let her dogs have a crap and piss up the cherry trees. She lives about 2 minutes walk away. I suppose the doggy brigade will say be thankful she bags her dogs poo. So why then be so inconsiderate as to dump it in my bin.

Yes I'm annoyed.

Its bad manners because its presuming that its acceptable to use someone else's property without their permission.

Even if your dog's poo smells of roses and the bin capacity could take a family of 5's rubbish for 6 months, it would still be bad manners to presume that you can use someone else's property.

Some people are may be happy for their bins to be used, maybe you could all have little "crowdsouced public bin" stickers. Presuming that because it doesn't bother you doesn't mean it wouldn't bother anyone.

It would be really good on these sort of threads to have a vote Yes or No button. Then we could just tot the votes up and see which was right. Grin

It means you're wrong squoosh. Hth Smile

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:12

I have 3 dogs at the moment.

I have never had a poo bag burst. Because they are quite strong.

Just stop bloody checking the contents of your bin and you will be much happier.

But the bin belongs to the council. You can't take with you if you move, so it's not yours, it's the councils.

It's also the council who empty it.

The council provide poo bins and bags so I don't think they mind poo in bins.

It would be an issue in my bin Hope. I know you don't want your fun spoiled, but you are mean to belittle someone who objects to this.

I don't think anyone is worked up Everlong. I think they are just arguing their point. I am going to leave it here because I have other stuff to do now but if someone disagrees with you do not accuse them of getting worked up or only worrying about trivia. It is a cheap shot.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:14

I think it means that some people view their bins as places for rubbish. Actual rubbish.

And some people view their bin as an extension of themselves and are very offended that anyone would dare even look at it.

HTH.

Brycie · 02/11/2012 16:14

I'm very calm, squoosh, don't worry. The complacency of being right is all about me like an aura.

LittleBearPad · 02/11/2012 16:15

Sparkling I have to ask why did you used to take nappies to the tip. You are joking right? Confused

Complacent isn't quite the word I was thinking of.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:15

But it isn't mean to call people screeching and clueless for disagreeing with you brycie

Brycie · 02/11/2012 16:16

Tantrums: I don't mind people looking at my bin, or throwing the odd beer can in. I would mind dog poo in a burstable bag.

Sparklingbrook · 02/11/2012 16:16

Is that not allowed either LittleBear? Sad

squoosh · 02/11/2012 16:16

Brycie's logic doesn't work like that Tantrums.

It's only 'mean' if it's done to her.

Brycie · 02/11/2012 16:17

Just a taste of your own medicine, to show you what it's like. It's not nice, is it?

It is quite a long word squoosh, so I doubt it.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:18

Ah. I see.

Well yes, I guess that's about right.

By the way brycie has anyone ever put dog poo in your bin or is this a hypothetical issue for you?

Brycie · 02/11/2012 16:18

I don't know how you can not know what I'm objecting to, or people like bananas, unless you didn't actually read the posts.

Brycie · 02/11/2012 16:19

People have put dog poo in my bin, plus beer cans and other rubbish. Dog poo maybe once or twice.
