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.

brycie who has decamped?

squoosh · 02/11/2012 16:45

Upright, middle-class, stuck-up-their-bottom-types you say?

Maybe try calling around to Robert Kilroy Silk's house, if he's still on the go.

LittleBearPad · 02/11/2012 16:45

Sparkling no it's allowed. But why do it? I don't understand.

MrsHoarder · 02/11/2012 16:45

Tantrums What about not saying thank you when someone holds a door/lift for you?

Would you proudly claim that you saw no reason to blank someone holding a door for you?

MrsHoarder · 02/11/2012 16:46

^ to not blank

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 16:46

Tantrums, I don't want ANYONE to put ANYTHING in my bin without my say-so! Whether that be dog poo, drugs, snotty tissues, vomit, crisp packets or any of the other countless things that have been mentioned in this thread. Because it's the principle of the thing - you don't put things in other people's bins, full stop. It is bad manners. Got that?

pumpkinsweetie · 02/11/2012 16:48

But isn't it more bad manners to leave dogs poo on pavement?
Surely there was a reason, ie no dog bin for miles?

FromEsme · 02/11/2012 16:49

Tantrums have you got it yet? Come on. Don't put rubbish in a bin. It is a bin. It's not for YOUR rubbish, your scumbaggy scumbag rubbish.

Got it?

Have you?

PS - the rozzers will be round in a couple of minutes so I hope you have a bloody good reason for having those drugs in your bin.

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 16:49

Bloody hell, Robert Kilroy-Silk? Is that the best you can do? I'd love to put shit in his bin, to be honest...

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 16:50

PumpkinSweetie, why would the preferred option be leaving the dog poo on the pavement instead of just taking it home?

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:51

MrsHoarder there are people all over the world who behave in ways that I do not. There are people who do not say thank you, there are people who cut me off when I'm driving, there are people who work in customer facing jobs but are less than polite to customers.

I don't expect everyone in the world to act according to my standards.

If I got so upset every time someone did something I would not necessarily do, I would spend my whole life being offended by something.

So, if someone doesn't say thank you, or puts a bag of poo in my bin, or drives into a parking space when they can see me indicating, I put it down to human nature. I have no desire to spend my life telling people how I think they should behave. It's not my mission in life to teach people the moral code according to tantrums

squoosh · 02/11/2012 16:51

Yep, Robert Kilroy Silk. I've phoned and told him all about you, he said you sound just like his kinda gal and to make your way around there sharpish.

He mentioned something about forming a super race of bin admirers or something . . . He's old but willing.

SoupDragon · 02/11/2012 16:52

I see the Frothers have been out in force.

squoosh · 02/11/2012 16:53

I'm mopping up as best I can.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:53

esme I wish I had some bloody drugs in my bin Grin

I'll take my scummy, scumbaggy rubbish elsewhere then Grin

And got that? is a very rude way to speak to someone, especially from such a good mannered, well bought up person.

LittleBearPad · 02/11/2012 16:53

This thread is hysterical. I live in a flat with communal bins. I am looking forward to the day I get my own. I shall guard it day and night Grin

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 16:54

Oooh, piss off, he's not coming round here. Where did I put that giant sack of dog poo... I'll tell him it's a new kind of self-tan lotion...

PickledFanjoCat · 02/11/2012 16:54

I'm wetting reading this. I might employ a guard for mine.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:54

OH MY GOD.

COMMUNAL BINS

HOWEVER DO YOU COPE?

Don't you get scumbags rubbish in there?

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 16:55

Tantrums, please stop referring to me as "well bought up". I have never been "bought up". I am not some kind of prostitute you know. Whatever your friend might have told Mr. Kilroy-Silk.

squoosh · 02/11/2012 16:56

You will LittleBear. You will commune with your bin. Your will rub your naked form against the bin and together witness the new moon and the changing of the seasons.

Sometimes you will climb inside your bin just to be a bit, y'know, closer to it.

squoosh · 02/11/2012 16:56

Poor Robert Kilroy Silk. He's just, em, misunderstood.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 16:57

My very sincere apologies. I will rephrase.

For someone allegedly so well brought up, you are in danger of sounding like a rude, obnoxious person.

HTH

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 16:59

Well, if you can't beat 'em, as the saying goes...

LittleBearPad · 02/11/2012 16:59

Tantrums it's tough but I grit my teeth and get on with it. Do you think I could get counselling.
