I probably was bu but it was heat of the moment and it's not like ive damaged his car. It was just gently placed in the plastic fan blade type thing, could be easily pulled out.

He had parked right behind me so that I couldn't open my boot, he was touching my tow bar. Normally I would hang the poo bag on the tow bar till I get home but I couldn't reach it. Couldn't get the dog in the boot. More importantly I couldn't reverse out the space like I was planning to and had to go forwards over a 45degree slope/bank and was worried for a minute the car was going to topple over.

I hope it made his car smell of poo on the way home!

Not sure about the dickybag. It's still carrying shit around close to you. Like a ergo baby carrier for dog shit.

CrohnicallyAspie · 20/03/2016 21:06

newes my dog must have had super poo then- I once triple bagged and left it in the boot (estate car) as there was no bin nearby, DH had to pull the car over at the first bin we saw as the smell was making us gag in the front.

CrohnicallyAspie · 20/03/2016 21:07

And the third bag was actually a sandwich bag with one of those zip type closures!

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 21:07

I use quality Waitrose bags, they don't split.

My mum has the thinnest, see through poo bags going and when She carries them she doesn't hold it by the handles like a normal person she cups the shit in the palm of her hand and wanders about like that. Makes me feel ill. And then she pulls out the picnic!

I find those quite papery tbh. I use 2 at a time as a matter of course, 3 if I am going to have to carry it more than a yard or so any distance.

Newes · 20/03/2016 21:12

Oh, gip!!
A man once came up to chat to me when I was waiting with DS in a park for a friend. Nice old man, lovely old Retriever but he was carrying a budget nappy sack with a pile of shit in it. Swinging it idly as he talked. It was hypnotically grim.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 21:14

Wouldn't be suprised if mum recycles sandwich bags to use as poo bags. I'm sure no one makes see through poo bags.

You need a sign for the back of your car in the style of "if you can read this sign you're too close", only it should read"if you can smell the dog shit you're too close"!

Honestly, you learn something new every day and I'll definitely pay more attention to things hanging from rear wipers or tow bars when we come back from the beach/woods now!

LetThereBeCupcakes · 20/03/2016 21:17

I must live in a weird area because poo bags on the tow bars are very common here!

But excessively smelly poo is usually due to a problem with diet. Just in case anyone's interested! Grin

Amy214 · 20/03/2016 21:23

So you dont like poo bags in your car but you were happy to stick it in someone elses grill? If i seen someone do this to my car or someone elses i would be happy to shove it in your face! Why couldnt you just double bag it stick it in the boot until you got to a safe place and then stuck it on the tow bar and as for the bottom of your car being scraped the word karma springs to mind!

Wheresmybippers · 20/03/2016 21:28

Omg Grin this thread though Grin Grin Grin

UmbongoUnchained · 20/03/2016 21:30

Oh waitrose... That's ok then, crack on.

NothingButAHoundDog · 20/03/2016 21:32

I don't understand the picture. It looks like an aerial view of a bicycle's saddle and handlebars. With a black dot in the middle

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 21:36

I couldn't open the boot! Did you not read the OP? Due to twat drivers illegal parking.

OP posts:
WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 21:39

hounddog. It's not a birds eye view! It's a horizontal tow bar with the tow ball sticking up from the bar. The black thing is the poo bag. Imagine you're looking at the back of a car and that's the tow bar.

AliceInUnderpants · 20/03/2016 21:39

Oh FFS

I'm quite amused imagining what you'd have done with the dog had he rubbed himself on something unsavoury Wink

BastardGoDarkly · 20/03/2016 21:41

Op yanbu. And I salute your tow bar crap holder.

Grin at your mam cradling her bag of poo.

TickettyBoo · 20/03/2016 21:41

Yabu. What's next, bunny in the pot? Evil weird poo lady.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 21:41

Oh I have a roof rack for that eventuality. Grin

NothingButAHoundDog · 20/03/2016 21:42

Oh OK. Sorry never been great at visualisation. Well you certainly learn something new every day...

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 21:44

Imagine this with the handle of a knotted poo bag safely placed over the ball. Bag then slides lower down and securely swings in the breeze.

I cannot see why so many people are getting so het up about you putting a poo bag on your tow bar. It's not like you are sticking them in trees like people do around here. It's like the poo fairy has been sometimes.

rosieliveson1 · 20/03/2016 21:48

Oooh, I may be entirely missing the point but I once saw a car at a junction with a pop bag on his rear wiper. Now I get it!
Fwiw OP. I'm not sure stuffing the bag in the grill was a great idea. Only because he probably just saw it and threw it on the ground creating smelly litter :(

PuckyMup · 20/03/2016 21:51

Here its rear windscreen wipers not tow bars Grin

I use dickybags - only need a small one for my 3 big dogs as they are raw fed and so produce lovely small nuggets with next to no smell
