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.

Yeah, because the choice for dog owners is leave the dog shit on the road or put it in someone else's bin? No it isn't. It's your shit, put it in a municipal bin or yr own bin.

Everlong: are you saying that because you do that, therefore it's not inconsiderate to put a bag of dog poo into someone else's bin?

Oh, that was an answer to a point someone else made, that I'm precious about other people putting things in my bin.

You can't believe my stance? You don't believe I think it's inconsiderate to put a bag of dog poo in someone else's bin? Where it might get squashed and ooze, and they have to pick it out, and so on? Why is that so unbelievable? Especially to someone who is so community minded they voluntarily clean the streets?

Do you pick up other people's dog poo if you have a spare plastic bag on you? Whyever not, if it's such an unbelievable non-problem?

I think its kind of weird that people when told that something they do is offensive to others don't go - gosh didn't know that don't get it myself but fair dos it's someone elses bin so I will take it on board for the future. Instead they roundly insult folks that don't want their dog poo in their bin for being weird.

If I did something that impacted someone elses property, even if I had thought up to that very point that it was completely inoffensive, once I had been told that it was not to other people, I might want to take their comments on board and change my ways.

I agree with Brycie. I don't mind getting other bits of litter in my bin as I take the optimistic assumption that people have seen it lying around and disposed of it rather than it being their own crisp wrappers etc. I object to dog poo because it's certainly not a random act of kindness its a deliberate choice to put your own smelly and fould rubbish in someone elses receptacle.

I mean to be honest I wouldn't go ape if I found one bag in my bin but dogs tend to be walked on a route and we are all creatures of habit so I suspect some poor folks end up with 14 bags of poo in their bin over the fortnight. That would definitely make a difference to level of smell in your bin if its hot and increase likelihood of breakage.

That's not the alternative is it? The alternative is picking it up and taking it home. Not putting it in someone else's bin.

A number of people have described having to pull oozing bags of dog poo out of the bottom of their bins. Why is it not inconsiderate to inflict this on people?

Original rookie - I agree. I thought people would say at some point, yes I see how that could be rather disgusting. But no - anybody who objects to oozing bags of poo in their bin is precious, hysterical, unbelievable... I'm amazed.

It's ok I'm not wound up. I'm surprised that you, or anyone, would admit it's ok to do that to someone.

I am sure even in a nappy bag it would stink a bin out. I would be irritated if my bin just emptied and bag of dog poo thrown in bottom.

Well sunflower you are, apparently, precious, hysterical and unbelievable. I should think that's news to you.

Maybe I am Brycie!
Dog poo just is stinkier than any other poo.....
Diving into a wheelie bin to remove it [and looking for someone to chuck it at in my irritation] is not my idea of fun.

Perhaps I would be so annoyed that I would find a tree to throw said bag in..[mebbe bit hysterical after all..].

yy Dog poo is really vile. I have a lab that does huge huge poos and to inflict that on someone else would be beyond the pale.

Bit like putting a used condom into someones bin...

Ew. Really? I haven't had that. Someone did a poo in my front garden once. Came in (middle of the night, drunk I guess) behind the wall, squatted, pooed, left.

And yet people on here have talked about picking oozing bags of poo from the bottom of their bins. The only explanation can be that they're lying. They must be. Otherwise it would be inconsiderate to throw bags of poo in their bins.

You actually think they might be lying?!

Ahem.

I think your both a little bit right.

This could go on forever, but brycie I reckon your on to be the patron saint of bin men.

Hi Olivia.

Some extraordinary reasons given why it's not inconsiderate to put poo in bins, ranging from "it's the equivalent to asking visitors to fish their poo out of the toilet and taking it home", to suggesting it's the same as worrying about putting anything dirty in a bin at all. But to suggest that people have taken the trouble to come on a really long boring thread and tell lies about having to pick poo out of the bottom of their bins is really the most extraordinary attempt to justify inconsiderate behaviour. Does it really require that much knot twisting? Why not say - actually that must be rather vile, I hope people don't do it?
