Don't throw your poo bags into people's skips

[Vergingontheridiculous]

We're having work done on the house. The skip is outside the back door, and the wall between the back door and the house has been demolished for access. There is temporary metal fencing which clearly shows the skip is on our property.

We live along a lane which is popular with dog walkers. Today I opened the back door to take laundry out and nearly stepped in the poo bag someone had lobbed over the fence towards our skip and obviously missed.

Even if it had gone in the skip, it doesn't get emptied every week. So, as soon as something heavy (like construction materials) was placed on top of the poo bag, that's going to go everywhere, and stink. And probably make it harder to retrieve usable construction materials.

What is wrong with people? Don't put your literal shit on other people's property (oh and actually pick it up and take it home with you/put it in a designated bin regardless).

IABU: totally fine to just throw dog shit anywhere, as long as it's in a bag

IANBU: don't throw actual shit onto other people's property. Or anywhere except a bin or your own house (where you can do what you like with it)

I honestly wouldn't think twice about putting something in a bin in a McDonald's car park. I assumed they're just emptied like regular bins!

A McDonald's bin is for rubbish generated from the purchase McDonald's products, not to dispose of personal items like nappies, dog shit and tampons. People should take that home to their own bins, not leave it for the employees to deal with.

They are emptied, yes, but by a person who has to put their hands in, tie the bag up and then carry it through the car park to the compactor bin.

Poo of any sort was disgusting, especially because the bins were black and got hot in the summer.

It’s illegal to put biological waste in a skip and you could get in big trouble for it with the waste controller so you need to get them out and dispose of the poo bags properly I’m afraid. Imagine the poor person at the skip company having to deal with that!

I wish all dog owners were as sensible as you!

However, I feel a lot of the people who do this don’t put dog poo in their own bin either!

My brothers friends mum who lived on the posher street round the corner used to walk her dog in front of our house (on a less posh street) and look the other way while it pooed on the grass patch in front of ours. She didn’t pick it up, no one did back then - at least not in our area during the 90s.

I once caught her and absolutely glared at her. It was because of people like that most grassy patches were off limit in my area as a child since you’d inevitably stand on poo while playing tag or whatever. She would never have dreamed of doing that in her area/a similar street. That’s probably why she walked it through our area!
