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

[fortifiedwithtea]

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.

Why wouldn't you put anything dirty in a bin? I do. I hope you won't put a bag of dog poo in someone else's bin though. That would be inconsiderate of you.

Squoosh, thing is, I'm not smiling at the possibility that people might get covered in someone else's dog poo. I think that's the difference between us

I leave my bin out until the afternoon because that's when the jet wash people come around and clean them, otherwise it stinks of very very old rubbish. It is incredibly rude and selfish to put shit which you, by dint of choosing to own an animal, have chosen to deal with. The alternative is not that the shit gets left on a pavement, it is that you deal with it responsibly and considerately.

When have I ever said I will, Brycie ? Given that my dog is as uptight as me and only poos in the garden, it is not something that will ever happen.

Not that I poo in the garden. I do it directly on bin men.

The difference between squoosh and you, Brycie is that you think that bags of poo regularly burst in bins, even though every single person on this thread who has a dog has said that that has never happened to them.

Although I DO think that squoosh finds the idea of people covered in shit hilarious. She's immature like that. And inconsiderate. And selfish.

Believe me Brycie I think there are far, far bigger differences between us.

If the bags of poo are so well sealed and the poo and the smell of the poo can't get out, perhaps the answer is for the owners of the poo making dogs to keep the fragrant bags of poo in their own houses/bins/sitting rooms/pockets?

Near my house, bins have <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=no+such+thing+as+dog+poo+fairy&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1366&bih=673&tbm=isch&tbnid=yIOaea-THgjiYM:&imgrefurl=weare2020.com/2020/2020-prove-insightful-with-keep-britain-tidy/&docid=LL3_gjlsVQ6-XM&imgurl=weare2020.com/2020/wp-content/uploads/keeping-brands-human/dogpoofairy.jpg&w=358&h=361&ei=UKCVUK2qHIeY1AW384GYCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=170&vpy=333&dur=921&hovh=225&hovw=224&tx=124&ty=115&sig=117642278794870637854&page=1&tbnh=128&tbnw=127&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0,i:111" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this sticker on

Bags of poo in sitting rooms? Goodness, what a strange suggestion Nit? The reason bagged dog poo is placed in refuse bins is because most people don't have an emotional attachment to faecal matter, or to their bins.

This thread is a bit mad. If you want a smelly, shitting dog then surely you should keep little bags of it's smelly shit to yourself?I l like dogs but hate dogshit, therefore have no dog and no little bags of dogshit.

That's a great sticker kid!

Yes, i always would have thought that would be a bit of gross thing to do too. But since there seem to be lots of people here saying that the poo will be contained and fragrant in its little bag..... Well, why not?

Gosh, I don't know. . . . . . maybe because it's poo, and dog poo is bagged up and put in the bin?

I'm very guilty of using other people's bins after I've cleaned my dog shit up!!!!

I don't know if it happens regularly; I know it could happen. A number of people have described pulling squashed bags of dog poo out of the bottom of bins. The difference between us (and me and squoosh) is that I would not want to inflict that on someone. If you think there's no problem in putting dog poo in someone else's bin - then you wouldn't mind inflicting that on someone. It's not complicated. (At least, I didn't think it was.)

Nurseneedshelp: please don't do that. It's selfish and lazy.

You silly thing, that really isn't the difference between us. What is your real problem with people using your bin. Try and be honest for once. You can do it, I know you can!

No Brycie I wouldn't inflict it on someone because I wouldn't be in the situation where that happened. But I wouldn't care if someone did it to me. Because I don't tend to go raking about in my bin. It's a bin.

I'm not sure why that's a problem.

Personally, I'm smiling at how stupid the "keep my bin clean" brigade are being.

People do put other stuff in my bin; it's a bit annoying because it flies out of the top sometimes but apart from that I don't have a problem with it. Nowadays people are too lazy to carry it home and the alternative is the gutter so it's better to go in any bin at all, than that. Does that help Squoosh? I wouldn't want people putting dog poo in my bin because I might put a heavy bag of rubbish on top, it could ooze or burst, get on the outside of a bin bag, or I would have to pull the revolting thing out. As I say, a three year old would understand. I doubt a three year old would be as interested? But there's telling for taste.

Esme it doesn't matter if you are in that situation - the thing is, you don't think it's inconsiderate to do that. I do think it's inconsiderate. I wouldn't do it.

I'm with the take it home with you brigade.
However, sure if I had a dog I might chuck bag in a bin sneakily.
Pity my friend whose husband left a steaming bag of dog poo in his coat pocket [not properly tied] and forgot about it.
Took her ages to work out where awful smell coming from in house.

You walk around picking up other people rubbish and putting it in other people's wheelie bins? That's very community minded.
