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.

cumfy yes and when I go round to Tantrums house and wear her clothes, it would be the same thing too.

IT'S A BIN. A BIN FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

What a weird thing to get worked up about. Someone put bagged dog shit in your bin and that offends you because . . . . . . . your bin is saved for unicorn hair and petal blossoms?

cumfy · 02/11/2012 15:13

As long as you washed them Esme.Grin

Custodian? It's not like you have to mount the bloody stuff on the wall over your fireplace.

I really don't know how some people manage to interact in society without being permanently offended.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 15:15

And just for amusements sake cumfy could you just explained how taking my car would be the same as using my bin?

Because here's what I think.
I have a wheelie bin. It sits in my front garden. On bin day I drag it to the kerb. When I arrive home from work I bring it back in. It is not locked. Because its a flipping bin.

I also have a car. When I get out of my car, I put it in my garage. I lock the doors, I put the keys in my bag. I lock the garage door.

If I left my bin out all night and someone had a bag of dog poo, all they would have to do is lift the lid and put it in.
If someone wanted to take my car they would have to firstly break into my garage, then either break into my house to get the keys or hotwire my car.

So could you please explain how the actual fuck that is a similar situation?

Thank you.

It's all gone a bit weird since I last posted. Confused

OneMoreChap · 02/11/2012 15:16

Yes it's your bin. No they shouldn't put their dog shit in it (I cart mine home and put it in my bin...)

If everyone picked up their dog shit and put it in people's bins, the streets would be much nicer, so I think YAB a tiny bit U, though.

BumpInTheNightFuglies · 02/11/2012 15:16

LtEve - it's OTHER PEOPLE'S DOG POO - the OP doesn't want it in her bin. She can choose whether to put contaminants in it or not. The dog walker has taken away that choice, which is ill-mannered. Would you put your tampax in someone else's wheelie bin Hmm

Fakebook · 02/11/2012 15:17

I'd get the dog shit bag and throw it on the pavement with a note saying "please dispose of me in your own bin, not a random strangers".

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 15:17

It. Is. In. A. Bag.

In. A. Bin. Designed. To. Hold. Rubbish.

WhispersOfWickedness · 02/11/2012 15:18

I'm confused about the emptying of disposable nappies into the toilet Confused Surely that is the point of a disposable nappy? I used reusables for 7 months until weaning kicked in and it became too hideous. Dare I ask what happened if one of your dc did a particularly, er, splatty poo? Confused

squoosh · 02/11/2012 15:18

I'd rather someone put a used tampax in my wheelie bin than threw it on my lawn. Do you know why?

BECAUSE IT'S A BIN!

Confused
TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 15:19

Clearly I have odd ideas about bins.

I actually thought they were for rubbish.

squoosh · 02/11/2012 15:20

I'd get the dog shit bag and throw it on the pavement with a note saying "please dispose of me in your own bin, not a random strangers".

Well that would be pleasant for all the people who use the pavement and not at all odd or worrying behaviour. But go ahead throw your childish tantrum.

BumpInTheNightFuglies · 02/11/2012 15:21

You put your own rubbish in your own bin. Simple.

anklebitersmum · 02/11/2012 15:21

Bumpinthenightfuglies Thanks for that image. I'm just off to poke out my minds eye..

Sparklingbrook · 02/11/2012 15:21

I always scraped whatever poo I could off the nappy and into the loo. kept a black bin liner outside for used nappies. On bin day I would double wrap the whole lot and put in the wheelie. Or take to the tip. It was 1999 though, maybe things have gone all new fangled?

Tantrums

I am rather getting the impression, however implied, that you would not be greatly pleased if someone used your property (your car) for the purpose it was designed for, even if that in no way deprived you of its use.

Which was my point.

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 15:22

I don't understand why so many people are saying, "Well it's better than the alternative, which would be to have a huge steaming mound of poo left on the pavement." Well, no - surely the "alternative" would be for the dog-owner to take the bag of dog-turd back home with them and put it in their own bin. If nothing else, it's appalling manners to stick your property in someone else's bin. The OP is not being unreasonable at all.

And can you imagine if you realised you'd thrown something away that you needed, and had to go through your bin to find it... and then got covered in some disgusting, stinking, revolting mess from an exploded dog-do bag that you didn't know was in there? Bleeuuugghh! Yuck, yuck, yuck. Angry

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 15:22

Erm fakebook you do realise that if you did that, there would be dog poo on the pavement

In what universe is that preferable to it being in a bin?

squoosh · 02/11/2012 15:22

When did people get so possessive over receptacles for household waste?

FromEsme · 02/11/2012 15:22

cumfy do you honestly, honestly, think that a bin and a car are the same?

Fakebook · 02/11/2012 15:24

When is someone going to invent a dog nappy?

squoosh · 02/11/2012 15:24

Cumfy is being clearly being deliberately obtuse.
