Do you let your dog piss up someone else’s bin?

[peonysinthesunshine]

Every week when we put the bin out ready for collection, our ring doorbell picks up the same neighbour who lives round the corner, let their big ass dog piss up our bin. Would this bother you and would you say something?

Some people are just plain ignorant.
I’ve seen them let their dogs piss on other people’s front doors.
I wonder how they would like it if it was done to them 😡

People lose all sense of proportion over dogs. Two, maybe three people have said they let their dogs pee on bins. Most have said I wouldn’t let my dog do it but it wouldn’t bother me too much (what with it being a bin!) And the rest of the thread is people losing their minds - excessive clapping emojis, calling people names, saying this is why we hate you, exaggerating claims and refusing to believe that cats shit in other people’s gardens. Insane.

Our front door is on the street and is frequently pissed on by dogs. Do I care? No, I never touch the bottom of the door and the rain washes it away.

Bins aren't council property. We have to pay for our own bins, even if the contracted out council bin men have lost them.

It's as bad as the people who let their revolting dogs do a poo at the end of our drive. Yes, they pick it up, along with a handful of our gravel. Every year, we have to buy more bags of gravel to replace it. We are surrounded in green spaces and woodland, but we are the favoured dog toilet around here.

I'd be turning those notifications off.
No it wouldn't bother me.
It's a bin
It lives outside in the rain

Does the gravel also spill out into the pavement?

My motorcycle cover stinks of dogs piss, often I will wear nitrile gloves because even after washing my hands it's difficult to get rid of the dogs piss smell. If my bike is uncovered it's not unknown for dogs to piss against the wheels and tyres. Once one dogs done it they all do it, x marks the spot blah blah. Luckily I dont have to store my bike cover inside as it absolutely stinks. I've owned dogs and would never allow such a thing, I would at least try and drag my dog away.

“What about cats” is not a solution to the dog problem. People are experiencing a lot of problems caused by dogs and the antisocial behaviour of their owners. Having a furry piss-everywhere machine on a string is equivalent to pissing everywhere yourself.

a) You brought the dog, you brought the piss
b) Piss is gross
c) It’s piss
d) Ew.

Wouldn’t bother me. It lives outside. The bottom of the bin is never touched. It rains, it pours, the sun shines. It will be doing literally no damage. Once in a while I pressure wash the bin.

A) It’s a bin
B) Bins are grim
C) A bin
D) Eww

Again, people lose all sense of proportion.

I've read the OP's (very few!) posts but not all the others, so apologies if this is repetition.

I'm a dog owner, but don't allow my dog to wee on people's bins. However, now that one dog has done so, OP, lots of other dogs will follow suit - the scent will be a huge draw, and does not fade (to a dog's superior faculties) no matter how much you clean it.

A little and no. It's not that important. Turn the hose on it for a minute.

It’s my bin. And it sits in my back garden. And if it has foul dog piss on it, it will stink.

My bin doesn’t normally stink, the rubbish is in bags, and we don’t have food waste.

If you take a step back and forget you hate dogs for a minute, do you not think it’s weird to be so territorial and uptight over bins? Just run the hose over them every now and then. Surely you do that anyway.

It’s not your bin, it belongs to the council. When you sell the house the bin stays behind.

You realise that I don't know where you live? And 'etc' means 'etcetera', and by that I mean bushes, walls, bit of branches on the floor, trees, bins, doors, car wheels.

I thought it was quite simple to work out and didn't realise I'd have to explain it! Do you understand now? Perhaps you could find a 3 year degree course that covers this sort of thing.

When my mum started to develop dementia, she became obsessed with her bins so this thread is a bit worrying. I hope I don't go the same way when my cognitive abilities start to decline.

Just seen neighbour's male cat peeing on another neighbour's car tyres

It may be 'scent marking'. So spray it with a dilute solution of Jeyes Fluid to mask the smell - it may start a bit of a battle over the next few da but just keep doing it.
If that fails you could connect your bin to the mains... (actually this is illegal!)😵‍💫

I don’t want piss on my bin.

That’s not unreasonable.

It’s the bin I use. My bin.

I use public loos, they don’t belong to me. The bin you use belongs to the council.

Once one dog does it others start to use it as well, wash it with biological washing powder to get rid of the smell, and sprinkle white pepper around.

If somebody lives in a council house, and I kick the door down and piss on the carpet, the person living there would tell me to not piss in their house.

They wouldn’t say “stop pissing in the council’s house”.
