A stranger throws their bagged dog poop into your trash bin - is it rude?
- Thread starter Skel1ingt0n
- Start date
I feel like a lot of these responses are very neighborhood and trash can location dependent. In my area many folks (myself included) keep their trash bins in the back alley, where they are also collected. Pretty normal to see folks walking their dogs back there, and I've definitely seen folks toss their baggies in my can.
I think it's 100% fine, assuming the bin is a sensible place. A vastly prefer it to stepping in someone else's dog shit left all over (also something that has happened to me).

Since you have to keep your bin in your garage and now that shit is going to sit there and stink everything up, yeah it's rude.
Yeah, it's rude, they should take their shit to their own bin.
But I mean, as long as it's not in a place that's gonna stink up your property, it's 100x better than the people who leave their pets poop on the street. So I voted rude, but it's negligible compared to those people.

I would never do it, but like... My dudes... Your trash is filthy and stinks like shit. Who cares if it also smells like dogshit. You don't smell it and you wash your hands regardless. It feels kinda hyper masculine to care about what goes in YOUR TRASH CAN lol
Yeah if it was pre-empty, fair game and I would even say good on them.
AFTER it was emptied? Fuck those fuckers!!! Haha

They are cleaning up after their dog. Not only is it not rude, but I would fucking encourage it.
If it's garbage day, it hasn't been picked up yet, and the bag is tied shut, then it's totally fine.
If the garbage was picked up and empty because I haven't gotten home yet to put it in the garage? Don't do that.
I had someone dump a hamster/bird cage or something in my garbage (shredded paperish stuff and shit) and that stuff caked to the inside of can for a while.
Definitely no to that.

What? That's absolutely fair. Here, the amount we pay is dependent on the size of the can. We have a smaller can to save money so anyone utilizing my trash can that I'm paying for is taking up space that I'm being charged for. I'd be annoyed if anyone was utilizing my trash can space that I'm paying for. If it was a flat rate for unlimited trash disposal, you might have a point, but that's not the case for everyone.
If it's already on the curb and about to be picked up then fine. But any other situation? Nah fam
It's fine if the bin's already on the curb, hasn't been picked up yet, and the bag is dropped into the right one.
I have been lectured by people for throwing paper in their recycle container before, so it just depends on the person I guess.
I would definitely not throw garbage in an empty can though, that just feels wrong lol.

Don't get me started on these entitled lazy bones.
If someone's walking up onto your property to do it it's rude. If it's sitting out on the sidewalk I'm fully indifferent, trash is trash.
If the person had thrown it in the bin before it was emptied then sure that wouldn't really bother me too much but throwing it in after is fucked up.
Dude how much space do you think a bag containing one (1) dog shit takes, I doubt Clifford rolled past this guy's house haha
If we're so entrenched in the existing dichotomy of who pays for what size trash bin that we're stressing over the cubic footage of literal shit among larger piles of non-literal shit on a curb destined to be sent to even larger piles of both literal and non-literal shit, seems like we'd have a hell of a time with much resembling unity.
If y'all ever want to stroll by my house and throw away a small bag of poop, fuckin feel free I'm not gonna whine about it. Maybe down the road if I was in the same position I could be afforded the same courtesy, pay it forward
Well you know what to do now OP.
Follow them home, look directly at them in the the eyes and proceed to shit on their lawn. Maintaining full eye contact is important. Assert your dominance.

You see, I voted on the poll before I finished reading the OP, and said it wasn't rude. There's nothing wrong with topping off an already full can.
However, throwing it in my empty bin? Id be pissed. Mildly pissed, though. 3 out of 10 level.
This is why I'd own a grabber claw thing. We have one at work and it's great for picking up things out the drive-through window

It's the principle of it. People shouldn't use other people's trash especially in a scenario where people pay for the amount of trash that they use. This isn't limited to dog shit; it applies to any trash. Rather than having to go through a list of what is okay and what is not okay, it should just be a flat out not okay. If one can't handle the responsibility of what it takes to clean up after their dog, then maybe one shouldn't have a dog.
There's a huge difference between tossing out a paper coffee cup (I do this in rando's bins all the time) and literally filling up the yard debris and trash cans because you're doing some landscaping (my neighbors did this to me like three years ago).
Big difference. Be one of those weirdos that locks your garbage cans shut if you feel like it.
If they're throwing their bagged dog poop into my garbage bins that are out to be collected that day, then no that's fine. But if they've already been collected and they're empty? Hell no, don't do that.
Sidewalk or my can? It doesn't need to be either/or. It's your dog, carry the bag home and throw it away when you get there.
That's so adorable, seeing optimists. Sure, in a theoretical construction of the Matrix that programming might be possible. But the douche throwing shit in someone else's can is only a step removed from the douche not picking up shit at all.
I don't give a fuck in all honesty. They smell awful either way, so the occasional bagged dog shit ain't going to make any difference.
What about if you have a dog then fucking deal with it and throw it in your own trashcan. It's your pet and not mine. You wanted the pet so you should be inconvenienced by them. What happened to OP sucks. Obviously it's not the end of the world if there was trash in it on trash day (even though I still think it's rude) I wouldn't even know or care, but that person saw it was empty and still did it. I don't find "lucky it wasn't on the sidewalk or the yard" an acceptable answer considering in my county it's illegal to leave animal waste anyways. Just be responsible and if you want to be lazy you shouldn't have the pet to begin with.
Side rant, there's a person in the neighborhood who's dog they used to let shit in the same spot in front of my house on my yard nearly every week without picking it up. We had to confront them when we caught them. Some people think their dogs got the right to shit wherever and it's no big deal and I find that unacceptable.

Seriously. I don't get how people seem to think those are the only two results.
Take your shit home or throw it in a *public* trash bin. Don't throw it in someone else's bin.
It's seriously baffling to me that people think it's okay.
I mean, sure, but in this case it's still la douche move to throw it in someone else's bin. So, it's still rude.
Still doesn't make the alternative "right."
You want a dog? Clean up after it.
My neighbors also let their cat out and it regularly poops in our yard and the other neighbors' yards and it drives me nuts.
I haven't read the whole thread, but has anyone even considered the garbage person in this scenario?
In my neighborhood, we have very large trash bins that can't be picked up and dumped by hand, so the garbage people have to take out the bags from the can. It's very inconsiderate to have loose garbage in the can, and anything loose on the bottom is staying at the bottom. Nobody wants to manage small bags of dog poop when these guys are literally running down the street throwing bags and boxes in the truck as fast as they can.
The response in this thread is kind of insane actually.

I do it. If the cans are on the curb they're getting picked up the next morning so the owner of the can won't know a difference. I always tie the bags strongly and always carefully put them in. I've seen people do it to my can as well. I just don't really care. We're a community and people are picking up after their pets.
That might make me reconsider my actions if I lived in a city that does that. In my city the trash man doesn't get out of the truck, it's all done by a automated arm on the truck

At least for me I'd rather someone just throw it out in my trash than carry a bag of shit home with them, to me that feels like the best and gracious thing to do for another human being, it's a small kindness you can abide at no great personal loss so doing a cost/benefit consideration it seems like a decent thing to do, like if more people approached situations that way life would probably be a bit better. Instead we get territorial and possessive about our curb or our garbage and culturally that seems kind of toxic
I'll consider them when they put my trash cans back where they found em.
....anyway they have the mechanical can dumper in my area. You make a good point, though.
oh, at first I was on the strangers side, but then I read it was AFTER it was already picked up. Nah fuck that. I drop bagged poop in neighbors bins all the time on trash day, but that's hours BEFORE its picked up.
Yea I only take my dogs on walks in the evening so if cans are out it's definitely getting picked up first thing in the morning. I'm actually kind of surprised how many people are against this. Maybe it's my area but lots of dog walkers so seeing people dump poop in cans isn't a strange thing to see.
I'm annoyed IF they drop the shit in there after the garbage trucks come through..before I don't care
