I'm not fucking around.
(lemmy.world)
I wish my problems were so fucking pathetic.
Idk I'd rather a passerby toss their poop or other trash in my can rather than throw it on the ground. Hell if you're really desperate and can't afford trash service I'd even tolerate a bag. But don't be filling up my can.
I used to like in a neighborhood where one lady would randomly throw her trash bags in someone's yard or behind my fence. City wouldn't do shit about her. I didn't like any of it and never did figure out where she lived but I was at that point of just telling her to put it in the fucking can because at least I wouldn't have to pick it up after the raccoons got into it and scattered it in the grass behind the fence.
Must be a posh nimby, don't know why anyone would willing carry dogshit around with them, especially if there's no public bins available, just don't use the same one every time.
My friend (who's an engineer) is so fed up with a neighbor doing this he's building an electric dog whistle that'll automatically go off. Seems a bit petty to me but 🤷
If he asked nicely first, he's not in the wrong. Post vids, sounds hilarious.
Even dog shit in a trash can is super polarizing. This was the first comment I saw even mentioning asking the person nicely to stop first. Like maybe put up a sign saying 'No dog poop please' before making a threat or a thing meant to bother the dog.

Who cares, it's all going to the same place. You parted with your trash, it's not like it's a storage bin for you to get stuff out of later.
As someone whose bin receives unwanted poop, the issue is that it goes straight to the bottom of the bin and never leaves because they don't lift the cans up all the way. Then it gets smashed by my own trash, so now I have a permanently poopy-smelling trash bin that receives weekly deposits.
my dad found that putting a big, heavy rock on top of the bin was enough to stop this from happening to him. (he removes the rock before the crash gets collected.) from his perspective, the people who use other people’s trash cans to throw away their dog poop are doing it because it’s the most immediate and convenient option. if you find a way to make it slightly less convenient, they’ll look for something else.

Many people do this after the bins have already been emptied, meaning that for the next week, you have to deal with a bin that smells like dog shit.

Where is the poop supposed to go then?
In the old ladys trash can, some people just don't want dog shit smeared in theirs.
It's in a bag, though, right? I mean, if old lady is just naked hand fisting shit into the trash can there's bigger problems to tackle there.

And threatening to behead an old lady is totally an appropriate response.

Assuming it's sealed in a plastic bag and the night before collection, who cares? The alternative is carrying around a warm poop bag in your coat pocket until you get home. Seems completely reasonable to take care of it this way on trash night. If it's not meeting those above two criteria, then hell yeah, it's time for a new hood ornament.
Trash collectors on my street don't empty the can into the truck, they just grab the bag I put in and throw that in. That dog shit bag would stay in my can until I moved it to the larger bag. I should not have to do that.
Ah.
If it's the night before collection, no one would notice or care. People who do that are not the people anyone complains about.
What happens is people dump their plastic bag of dog poop in the empty can. So it stays there.
Next pickup the resident's trash bags go on top of it. The trash men never manage to get the poop bag out. After a couple weeks of hoping it will disappear next time, the person whose can it is has to dump it out and put it in a bag with their trash.
People who dump their dog's poop bag in other people's cans should be force fed the bag.
Ehh, I'd prefer they bag it and put it in my trash bin, rather than just leaving a pile of shit in my yard. I'd honestly prefer neither, but using my bin to throw poop bags or even loose trash doesn't bother me too much
But my bin is also only on the curb when it's trash day. And they pick them up twice a week here, so a poop bag won't necessarily "marinate" in there for long. And I rinse the bin with a hose if it becomes gross, but that's rare because usually the rain will handle most of it
But that's just my particular situation, so it doesn't bother me as much. I could easily see how a multitude of different factors, might make the situation aggravating/infuriating
Never thought I'd feel lucky about my trash bin situation though. Sometimes it really is the little things I guess
Where I lived, all your trash needs to be in a trash bag. There isn't some big truck that drives around, picking up the whole trashcan and dumping it in the back. It's literally just a guy in a golf cart who takes everything out of the bin by hand and tosses it on a trailer. If it's not in a trash bag he won't take it. If the trash bag is broken he won't take it. So if some lazy shit head is too fucking delicate to carry their dog's shit long enough to dispose of it properly, and instead toss it into my bin, it stays there and becomes my problem.
Fuck you for owning a dog if you can't be bothered to clean up after it.
I never used to understand the people that just left a poop bag alongside the road, but suddenly now I feel like I understand exactly what exchange led to that choice.
I don't. Just carry it home. Why are people so damn irresponsible?
If you don't want to carry the poop to your own trash, either don't have a dog, or let it shit in your yard.

When my dog poops I don't put the poop bag in my pocket, I just carry it home. If there is a public trash can I will use it. Never in the pockets though. It is poop.
The alternative is carrying around a warm poop bag in your coat pocket until you get home.
What kind of psycho puts the bag in their pocket? /s
With all the pointy bits and pieces in my coat pockets I'd end up with bits, pieces, and coat pocket covered in dog shit.

Sounds like a terroristic threat to me.
Very well. I'll leave it in the yard, then.
How does this have 30+ upvotes? So inconsiderate, holy hell. Deal with your dog's shit yourself- why is that a controversial concept?
Its to show the actual reality of what you're asking fort once you make it inconvenient for people to clean up their messes by being territorial over a literal trash can, uhh smell?? Presumably, this guy doesn't leave dog shit around and neither do I. You got wooshed
Because complaining about a golf-ball sized bag in a bin is Karen behaviour. Grow the fuck up.
Next time put it in top of the can.
If someone did this in my neighborhood, every single dog walker in the area would go out of their way to deposit 100% of their poop babies (autocorrect but I'm leaving it) in this trash can only. If I was still in Texas, we'd open carry while doing it!
Seriously people. No one should tolerate elder abuse.
I always feel like a douche when I do this, but sometimes I'm in a bind. Soz bro.
Let's take the most biodegradable substance on earth and wrap it in eternal plastic

Am I the only person that makes my dog carry her own poop bag? I just double knot it and attach it to where the leash attaches on her harness. All these people talking about putting bags in their coats or carrying them...I don't get it.
