Am I being unreasonable to be really pissed off with a neibough that lives in my road to keep putting her dog shit in my wheelie bin??

I have seen her put her bag of poo in my neibough's bin before and have seen bags of poo in my own when putting my own rubbish in it. Last night i was just closing the bedroom curtains when i caught her droppng a bag a poo in my wheelie bin, i opened my window and told her 'thats my bin, not your's! don't do that again! My bin is for my rubish and you have your own for your rubish, i dont put my dog poo her your bin so you dont keep putting yours in mine! I would apriciate that you don't put your rubish in my bin again thankyou!!

What you you do? would you of done the same? I've been worrying all day cos she seemed tearfull or upset as she walked away, now im afraid that I've upset her.

Sorry about the spelling by the way

you're worried you've upset her???? post it back to her through the letter box. she sounds unhinged.

YANBU. Why on earth would she put it in your bin and not hers? having said that it might have been better to go down and talk to her rather than screeching from your window although I get why you did.

personally I couldn't care less what people put in my bin once it is out for collection but i'd be hacked off otherwise as we almost always fill it so it would inconvenience us if others were sticking stuff in there

brandybutterfly · 22/12/2009 17:39

YANBU. What a weird thing to do

Avendesora · 22/12/2009 17:55

She probably pops it into the nearest bin. At least she picks it up! Were you a little bit shouty?

YANBU by the way, especially as she presumably only has a short way to go to her own bin.

FabIsGettingReadyForXmas · 22/12/2009 17:56

Er, maybe she thought it was her bin.

It really doesn't matter what bin it goes in as long as it goes in one. Unless of course your whole bin is full of dog poo.

pjmama · 22/12/2009 17:57

I'd just be thankful that she's picking it up!

ilovemydogandmrobama · 22/12/2009 18:04

Yuck! Especially if like me, the bins are collected every 2 weeks

thedogsgottago · 22/12/2009 18:08

She shouldnt put the poo in your bin, I know its an outside bin, put who wants the smell of poo wafting up at you when you chuck the rubbish away. How far away does she live that she cant carry it to her own house and chuck it in her own bin?

ConnorTraceptive · 22/12/2009 18:28

Yanbu - we have barely enough room in our bins for our own rubbish over 2 weeks let alone someone elses!

purpleduckUnderTheMistletoe · 22/12/2009 18:41

I've done that
Not tons, but have been in a situation where there is no bin around, so I put it in someone elses's. Its bagged, its cold - so no poo wafts.

I live on a corner, and people put small bits in my bin, and I don't have a problem with it.

If someone did it all the time to me, I wouldn't like it, but I don't think I would shout about it.

Has no one else seriously never put anything in anyone else's bin? Coffee cup? sandwich wrappers...? reallly?

diddl · 22/12/2009 19:06

I´ve never put anything in anyone elses bin.

Is yours on the street?

Many people here have them in the back/front garden, so you´d be trespassing!

PeedOffWithNits · 22/12/2009 19:11

our bins are all on the street (very tiny open front gardens and no rear access). i would love the local kids to use my bin instead of dropping litter all over the place. BUT i would do my nut at anyone putting poo in it.

still, you are luckier than my mate who regularly finds bags of dog poo HANGING OFF HER TREE - that walkers have lobbed over into her garden.

bellissima · 22/12/2009 21:14

YANBU if she's regularly putting it your, and another neighbour's, bin rather than her own (which it sounds like). I do think this is different from someone dropping in a chocolate wrapper or cup. The stuff stinks and will make the bin smell and I would be annoyed. Quite frankly it sounds as if she wants to own the dog but doesn't want anything to do with its excrement, so she's depositing that in other people's property.

I probably wouldn't have the nerve to shout at her but I'd get some tongs and put any bags back in her own bin - your dog your shit, as it were.

TisTheSeasonToBeHully · 22/12/2009 21:16

I am just staggered.

teameric · 22/12/2009 21:19

YANBU I'd take it out the bin and post it through her letterbox

MillyR · 22/12/2009 21:22

My mum was nearly fined after neighbours put a rug covered in dog poo in her recycling bin.

YANBU

tethersjinglebellend · 22/12/2009 21:25

YANBU.

I would put a crisp packet etc. in someone else's bin, but this woman is quite literally shitting on your doorstep.

Jem27 · 22/12/2009 21:27

I have never put rubbish in someone elses bin, what an odd thing to do?

It may sound precious but Id worry about the bag leaking and having a pooey smelly bin.

ABetaDad · 22/12/2009 21:29

YANBU at all.

Someone did that to us last week. The week before, someone dumped a whle load of decorating waste in it.

I was very very

tw1nkley · 22/12/2009 21:34

Yanbu, in telling her to stick it in her own wheelie,

But in general im with peedoffwithnots, any bin rather than the floor, and yes i am that insane woman who hauls teenagers back by the lug to pick up their wrappers. Had a fabulous incident a while back with a lady standing opposite me on the pedestrian crossing, pulling rubbish out of her pockets and chucking it on the floor. So I shouted across the road " excuse me, I think you've dropped something" She shook her head and tried to distance herself from the pile of rubbish. So I shouted it a few more times until everyone was looking, finally the green man turned up and we began crossing the road towards each other - at the mid point she says to me "its all right its only rubbish" que my very loud voice saying "We don't want your rubbish on our pavements you filthy woman, you were standing next to a bin." Que lots of tutting and glares from the bystanders and me and dd picked up her rubbish.

Sorry about the tangent but it was funny, you expect it to a degree from kids but not from a well heeled mid 50s woman iykwim?

JaneS · 22/12/2009 21:45

That is disgusting. Yuk. You're not being unreasonable at all.

scottishmummy · 22/12/2009 21:49

buy a wheelie bin lock
