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.

Marking place, I'm going to read this later when I'm bored (I realise no one cares but I had to write something )

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 17:27

Aha, now I understand. It is "painfully dull" not to want other people to dump dog poo in one's bin. What do you do that's so exciting then, Squoosh - do you have poo parties in your bin, and invite your neighbours round? Do they have to bring their own poo, or do you provide it all for them? Confused

Everlong, that puts you in the "selfish, lazy pigs" category then, right?

In direct response to the title of this thread:

Yes it is. It's a bin.

I would imagine sqoosh like me has a life that is all the more fun by virtue of not actually giving a fuck if someone dares to put rubbish in a wheelie bin that was left in the street overnight.

Anon you're a bit too focused on poo. It's really not the end of the world as is proved by the fact the OP doesn't care enough to post again

Unless the poo has escaped and attacked her Shock

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 17:34

Id like to rename the bench though. Because if I were selfish I wouldn't get up at 6am to walk my dogs. If I were lazy they would get 2 hour walks.

Pig? Well, no actually. I'm not a pig or any other animal.

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 17:35

OK, well if you can be considerate enough to realise that people don't want your dog's poo outside their house where they can step in it, why can't you take that consideration a little further and also realise that some people (not all, just some) don't want your dog's poo in their bin either? Why not just take it home with you (or is that where the "lazy" bit kicks in?)

MULLYPEEP · 02/11/2012 17:35

Yabu. It's a bin. It stays outside. Don't see the big deal.

Cahoots · 02/11/2012 17:35

YANBU.

Someone put some bagged dog mess in my bin and I was pissed off about it. Angry Angry Angry
Obviously, I would have been much much more irritated if it had been unbagged.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 17:35

would not even :(

Goodness me no Anonymumous, you seem to be having some difficulty so let me explain it to you.

I was responding to gettingeasier's hysterical, out of proportion and oh so predictable rant of 'selfish lazy pigs'. Being a 'normal' person and after having read pages of hysterical rantings from the bin fetishists, at this stage I find her overblown reaction to someone putting rubbish in a rubbish bin dull.

By the way, it's frightfully bad form to flounce off in epic style only to coming shuffling back again. Tut tut. It's almost 'bad manners' and I know you don't want to be accused of that!

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 17:37

That cannot be true.

You cannot care so much about a few crisp packets that you padlock your bin?

I don't have a dog, and would be a bit "yuk" at someone putting dog muck in my bin. I'd rather it was in there than what some people usually do round here, which is leave the crap all over the pavements. Angry

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 17:39

Please please take me to where the normal people are.

I can't take it any more.

people padlock their bins

LittleBearPad · 02/11/2012 17:39

They bag it and hang it on trees round here. Which has to be far worse.

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 17:39

Squoosh and Tantrums, you've spent all afternoon on this thread - you can hardly claim that your lives are more fun or less obsessed with poo than mine on that basis!!! Grin

I do share the excuse with MrsHoarder of having a baby fast asleep on top of me, so I can't really do anything else at present. I suspect you two just have a putting-poo-in-bins fetish though. Weirdos!

Well I'm at work. And this thread is causing a huge amount of laughter in my office. And then I shall go home and have a nice drink.

So yes, I reckon my life is ok.

It's just so much fun, watching grown up people get so outraged by a bin.
It's hard to believe its true.

gettingeasier · 02/11/2012 17:42

Trying to fish out a squashed, decomposing, stinking bag of dog shit from the bottom of a bin that is well above waist height is a nasty task.

I did this, not to brighten my dull day, but because it was making my bin which I go to and open at least once a day smell nauseating.

Those of you who think that I am hysterical or unreasonable to feel this way and to say to the OP YANBU can think what you like but I stand by my original description of you.

pumpkinsweetie · 02/11/2012 17:43

Exactly my point Whizz!
The streets in my area & the local park are literally covered in it. Infact picnicking in my park is near enough impossible unless you want to go home with blankets smeared in the stuff.
Oh and the pavements, every step you take had to be watched!

Would rather it was put in my bin (in a bag) than my kids stand in it and consequently tread it into my carpet Angry
