Randoms using my wheelie bin for their dog shit!

[dogpoobin]

I'm fuming. Put my wheelie bin at the top of my driveway last night for collection today, it's fairly full so the top is slightly open. Just went out this morning (it hasn't been emptied yet) and noticed someone has placed two bags full of dog shit in my bin on top of my rubbish bags! AIBU or is this absolutely disgusting? I don't have a dog and I don't want dog shit in my bin.

Why have you posted an AIBU when you’re not prepared to listen to people that tell you that they think you are?

for the record I would be annoyed yes, I have a dog and if he shits on the way back from his walk and there is no bin I put the bag in our bin. If it’s a once off I’d move past it; if it’s a regular thing I’d be more annoyed.

I'm a dog owner and have faced this dilemma a couple of times. My OH view was that it doesn't matter, a bin is a bin, mine was to wonder whether it would upset the owner.

This has only arisen when I know there are no public bins at all anywhere on our walk (walks on the way to countryside). I don't have an issue walking with it 10mns if I know there is a bin but yes, I am not so keen to walk with it for 1h or more and so hope that the owner indeed doesn't mind.

£17 🥺🥺🥺🥺 how many bins do you have? Mine are cleaned for £2.50 😂

Nope, couldn't get upset. You'd hate me, I've done this - bins out on the street on collection day and they're full? I've added a securely wrapped poo bag. It's sitting there for maybe an hour or two, not touching your actual bin or anything else, absolutely zero harm to you and yours.

If they put it in your recently emptied bin, then yes, that's rude.

This isn't something I'd (I have a dog) do but it wouldn't bother me to find some extra in my bin on bin day.

To vent??!

But it's not "in your life" it's a very temporary addition to your bin!

As a bit of much needed light relief, our office looks for a Mumsnet thread of the day. Nominations have to be in by 3pm, and we then discuss and pick one over our afternoon coffee break. Friday’s winner in particular is important, because it’s always good to start the weekend on a high.

However, we’ve already decided that you’ve won today, and closed the competition. A complaint about people putting stuff that should go into a bin, into a bin, has secured your glory and got you printed out and pinned to the special spot of our notice board.

Congratulations, OP! Sorry, there’s no cash prize or anything. But you’ve cheered fourteen of us up today, so hopefully that is reward enough.

Unless your planning on eating your dinner out off the bin who cares, it's in a bag and in a bin could be worse could be left on the street for you to step in!!

Omg who cares, the bin is literally about to be emptied in minutes. It’s not like they posted it through your letterbox

Yawn

OP: AIBU?

90% responses: Yes, you are

OP: It's fucking unacceptable and nothing will convince me otherwise

Not sure why you posted, OP?

It would piss me off because I’m out area the binmen won’t empty the bin if the lid isn’t 100% closed and they won’t empty it if there’s anything not in black bags. Yes they are strict about it too. So a dog shit bagged and put on top would mean potentially that bin won’t be emptied.

Because in our* area

Great minds etc...

(Or, before anyone else says it, fools seldom etc )

So why post on AIBU? 🤷‍♀️

To vent??!

Tbf, you are actually asking a question on "AIBU?". There's an actual question mark as part of the topic.
Maybe it would be more productive to vent on "Chat" or something?
Obviously it's up to you to post where you like but I suspect it'll make a difference to the type of replies you get.

Yanbu. If you have a dog you expect to pick up its shit and take it home or to the nearest public dog bin. Surely people arent walking their dogs that far from home or know the route well enough to know where the next bin is.

Urgh, I have a dog and always pick up poo but I wouldn't put it in someone else's bin, it kind of feels weird - a bit like dumping it on their property?

What you put in your bin is between you and your refuse collector. I wouldn't want to rock your relationship by shoving my dog's shit in there.

Then why have you asked AIBU?

FWIW I don't think you are, we only use public dog poo bins normally, on bin day I might drop it in my own knowing it was going that day but never in someone else's.

But then I wouldn't put anything in someone else's bin.

Someone up thread spends £17.42 every 4 weeks on having their bins cleaned, crazy. It's a bin.At the height of summer I might swill ours with some bleach and boiling water.

200 quid a year, blimey.

I had a stranger’s dirty nappy in my bin once. Wouldn’t have minded much but it was just sitting there, half folded, and it wasn’t in a bag. My bin wasn’t out on the street, it was up my driveway and beside my door, nor was it due to be emptied for a while. Took it out and bagged it. Assumed a delivery person or someone had had to bring their baby with them on their rounds, and thought we wouldn’t mind. I feel like other people’s bins aren’t really a place to put unexpected jobbies but I seem to be in a minority!

Am just wondering how many bin Inspectors are out there? O no someone is by my bin better check they haven't popped anything in it while it's waiting to be emptied, I'll come back an update if they did or not...

Ffs it's wrapped in plastic and it's a bin that's about to be emptied at any moment!

It's a bin. Who the fuck cares.

And I do think that people who pay to get their bins cleaned are slightly unhinged.

This is one of the reasons I miss working - I'd have definitely tried to get this started as a tradition.
Sadly, I can't see DH entering into the spirit...

Bin about to be emptied and dog poo bagged, really can’t see the problem. Bin just emptied so will get squashed by other rubbish and hang around smelling for another week, not ok. I wouldn’t do it but I only get annoyed in the second scenario.

Noted!
