Take your fxxking dog poo home

I’ve just run 5k. Bagged up dog poo everywhere. On pavements. Grass verges. Next to half empty dog poo bins. 3 on the pavement next to Sainsbury’s alone.

Bins everywhere that could be used but weren’t.

Obviously it isn’t MN users doing this, it never is 🤦🏻‍♀️.

If you’re bagging up the poo, take the bag 100 yards to a bin and use it, you lazy fekker.

Don't be silly. No one said it was the worst part of anything.

It's just disgusting. It's amazing to see the sheer about of bending and twisting not to get the basic point that bagged dog muck lying around is dirty and disgusting. I bet your house is super tidy too. I bet, you don't leave bagged dog muck in your hallway or living room floor. But still you miss the point.

It's like someone saying they don't enjoy the sight of bagged shit is the same as saying they don't like your dog. I think this is what is being assumed because the argument in favour of leaving it around is nonsense.

Exactly, the same defensive nonsense they shout at you if you dare to ask them to call their dog away from your small child. And it's always the owners whose dogs have zero recall... Then they get flustered and start shouting at the dog, themselves, me again and anyone else 😂 sad life.

It’s no different to leaving it outside in the garden by the gate because I can’t be bothered to unlock it and walk to the bins. Nobody wants to walk for miles with a bag of shit especially when you have multiple dogs on lead.

But it's ok to dump it down somewhere for everyone else to have to see/smell/heave at while you trot off on your little walk with your doggy? Okaaaaay

Are the dog poo biodegradable bags very much stronger than the usual biodegradable food waste bags? Genuine question.

Seems to be the same as the usual poo bags. I think as with the normal ones there are probably differences in quality (as we know to our cost!) but we've never had a problem with the bio ones.

If you can’t walk past a bag of dog shite without heaving then I think you have problems this site cannot help with.

I'm not sure why seeing a poo bag is so disgusting (genuinely)? You can't see the contents so you must be disgusted by the idea of it. And, unless you bend down and have a really good sniff, they aren't that smelly. Doubtful you would be able to smell if you were walking past.

I know the contents of a nappy or a tissue or a loo can be unpleasant but I don't find them particularly disgusting in of themselves.

Leaving poo bags or dog poo lying around IS disgusting.

I honestly have no idea.

As a responsible dog owner, and dog lover, I totally agree with you OP. It's just so disgusting and ecological nonsense too. I often pick up and leave by the pathside if I know I am coming back same way in a short while, to pick up and bin, as I really don't like holding a warm poo bag. But I will always pick up on return and bin.

Typical dog owner: sense of sheer entitlement, not a care in the world for anyone else and the dog can do no wrong 🤦🏼😆😝 do you seriously not understand that it is a really disgusting habit that other people don't want to have to look at or smell? Or are you one of those dog owners who also insists your house doesn't stink to high heaven? Ps it does.

Dog lovers are also lovers of dog feces.

I don’t mind holding a warm poo bag if it’s cold. Great for warming your hands 👍🏻

That's awful. Leaving bags of faeces lying around unattended is completely unacceptable behaviour. My daughter stood on one last year and it burst and sprayed all up her leg. Doubtless someone was just about to come back and pick it up. She refuses to walk by the canal anymore, and I can't say I blame her.

You, @Bullbreedbliss, and anyone else on this thread who thinks it's okay to leave the country cluttered with bags of shit or any other litter for that matter, even temporarily, really should hang your heads in shame.

Because if we don't pick it up straight away, there will always be some fucker moaning.

Jc2001 · 26/06/2024 22:26

Some people don't seem to even bother to bang it any more, just leave it there for someone to tread in. It's definitely got worse over the last few years. Maybe it's all the irresponsible people who went out and got dogs on impulse during covid.

The vast majority seem to be very responsible though, but a bag in the tree or a shit on the floor catches your eye and is very annoying.

XenoBitch · 26/06/2024 22:37

I always pick up and bin my dog's poo. It is one of the basics of having a dog.

Wow, nice language. Shows clearly the type of people who do this kind of thing.

Imagine going through life with such low standards and such little respect for other people (including children, the disabled, infirm and partially sighted) that you think that kind of behaviour is ok.

You're looking at it the wrong way!
Dog feces are a present from the fur baby to the world.
That's why the fur-baby momma and fur-baby dadda hang the fecal baubles in the trees and festoon the pavements with them.
They want the whole world to share in the delights bestowed upon them by the ickle wickle fur babbas

All dogs get DNA taken….any poop, bagged or unbagged gets ‘tested’… owners get massive fine & dog taken from them…could solve unemployment in a stroke!
But it ain’t gonna happen, we’ll just have to keep cleaning dog shit from our kids shoes!

Who would want to do that for a job tho?
I would vote for dog free zones.

Budget cuts = feeding their consultants' pension pots, in my area.

They start putting them back again when enough people complain. That's how it works up here anyway. Getting the council to do its job is like full-time unpaid community service.

Oh you are not wrong. SEND children's provision not being made (legally required with EHCP), and yet the council has paid a couple of consultants some very serious money to restructure childrens' services.

They are every bit as good as central gov't on lining the pockets of the already rich.

Anyway, back to dog poo. I complained monthly, sometimes weekly about poo on the pavements on the road next to primary school. Bastard owners just let the dogs go in the morning right where a 120 kids were about to traipse through it, then into classrooms, corridors, the hall for assembly (where children would later be eating lunch). Wonderful community spirit there, I thought.

Have to say, on the odd occasion where I witness a dog poo'ing and it is not picked up, it has always been an impatient middle aged man, pulling the dog along as it poos.

Always fresh at 8.00am when I was dropping DS to nursery/breakfast club.

Coucil response: dog wardens don't start work until 9am.

Arrrrgggggghhh. Can't you put up a camera like they have in wildlife films?
A few fines and name and shame in the papers would be a great deterrant, as it is a crime.

Poo in bags, or left alfresco in the woods for DS to step in also massively anti-social.

I would like a dog, I am not anti-dog. Picking up the poo puts me off even though I have to do the cat tray 2 x a day. Cats specialise in small but highly aromatic poos.

I pick mine up and don't leave it around for others to step in.

@Alltheyearround

I am absolutely the same. Would love a dog but I just cannot pick the poo up, but happy to do the cats dirty tray.

So we've decided not to to have a dog. My feelings are if you can't pick the poo up you can't have a dog

Alltheyearround · 27/06/2024 22:27

Same here @Purplebunnie.

Maybe I will one day transition to having a cat sized dog like a papillon.
Small dog = small poo.

If DS had his way we would have a St Bernard.

Bloody hell, we 'd have to take a shovel and a bin bag!

My drive doesn't have gates and local dog owners have taken to letting their dogs use it as a toilet. They then slink off, leaving a stinking mess behind. I put up a cheap security camera, and my drive is suddenly a poop free zone. I love dogs, but the owners are awful!
