S/O What is it about disposing of dog poop in your trash can that upsets you

I am a dog owner who picks up after my dogs and who does not put the bags in your trash can because I've seen enough complaints about people who hate it but I genuinely don't understand WHY people hate it. Its your outdoor trash can. I never even look in my outdoor trashcan, certainly not closely enough to have noticed a rogue dog poop bag.

Genuinely curious because I feel like the people who DO do this are actually trying to be conscientious dog owners but people seem to get SUPER bent about it.

Right there. If I WANTED dog shit in MY trash can, I'd get a dog!

Dude I said I didn't do it because I knew it bothered people. Just asking why, no need to have a heart attack over it.

And it looks like your question was answered. I didn't see a heart attack there....

You put other things in it that smell (used sanitary products). You can piss and moan all you want, but you know that is true. (There is poop in our can at all times and you can't smell it.)

I think, truly, this is something that people just have an over-reaction to for no apparent reason. But, this is not a battle I am willing to have so I keep the dog's poop bags until I get home to prevent the uptighties from having a coronary.

Some people compost. Some women use a diva cup, have hit menopause or a house might be men only. You don't KNOW what people put in their trash cans

I Think you are of the same ilk as the cat people who say the litter box does not stink.

Just because your nose has become deadened to the stinks of your dogs does not mean their poop (and breath and fur for that matter) do not smell.

You just no longer notice it.

And really, your opinion does not matter when it comes to someone else's private property. If some person wants her garbage can scrubbed daily so it is almost clean enough to eat out of, that truly is not your business. Whether or not you think your dog's poop is not an issue does not give you the right to throw it in someone else's trash or to let your dog poop in any yard but your very own.

Walk your dog before you feed it or after it has already pooped. The purpose of the walk should be for exercise, not pooping and peeing all over the neighborhood and killing the greenery. The majority of dog walkers I encounter are not exercising their pets. Rather, they are walking at a snail's pace while their dogs pee on everything in sight to mark territory.

You do not have a dog, especially a male dog, if you think you can control when they poop/pee.

Tighten the leash and pull him off when he gets on other people's yards.

To be clear, I always pick up after my dog and I often carry the waste back to my building. I just don't feel committed to that and have no problem using publicly available trashcans along the way.

I feel no guilt about it. Trash is trash and if you leave your cans out in public, people might use them. I see no problem with that.

Take your damn poop home with you and store it with your trash.

1. I don't want my trash bin to reek of poop.
2. I don't want my garage where I keep the bin to reek of poop.
3. If you throw it in when it's on the street on trash day after trash has been collected, chances are it will sit in the bottom of my bin FOREVER unless I fish it out and put it in a bigger bag, because those small bags don't dump into the trash truck.
4. Unless even better it explodes on the bottom of my trash bin, as they have done before, getting poop all over my bin that I have to clean up. I can't tell you how disgusting that is.
5. Many dog owners who have put dog poop in my bin don't even tie the bag, increasing the chances of poop explosions.
6. I have a sign on the top inside of my trash bin asking people to please not put their dog poop in our bin. Yet since putting up this sign there has been no abatement in poop disposal in our bin.
7. WTF is wrong with people?

Op here. This thread has answered my question. There appears to simply be two types of people in this world. Those who care about the state of their trash can and those who don't. No one has given an example of something that, if put in my trash can, would bother me. It amazes me that people even care about a 7/11 coffee cup!

I suppose one of the things both sides has to live with is the existence of the other side...

Again, you are not cool. You are an idiot.

My op said that I didn't actually do this just because I know how much you all get bent about it. I don't know what more you want from me. Not being the same kind of person as you/not agreeing with you does not make me uncool or an idiot.

Why wouldn't you care about someone's dog poop making your whole garage smell like poop, especially in the summer? It's part of your house. I don't understand why that wouldn't matter to you. My garage doesn't usually smell with regular garbage in there, but it always smells like poop when there is dog poop there. What is wrong with your nose that this wouldn't matter?

I said in an earlier pp that I don't have a garage and when I was a kid we didn't keep our trash cans in the garage because no one liked the smell of any trash. I think the garage issue is real, but not in my neighborhood.

I will never understand people who don't understand the concept of boundaries. It's MY property. You have no business using it - for any purpose.

I am thinking about spring-loading my trash can so that it shoots someone else's dog poop at anyone who opens the lid.

Hey, dog poop jerks who leave poop in my can, let's see how YOU like dealing with someone else's dog poop.

Should shoot the poop right into the trash truck for the trash guys. Win win!

(Will someone please invent this?)

You have it wrong.

There are people who have respect for other people's right to use their private property however they see fit and other selfish people who have zero regard for someone else's stuff and an inflated sense of entitlement to boot.
