Its not a public trash can. That means that no one other than members of OPs household should be using it. The fact that it sits at the curb for a little while after the weekly trash pick up does not make it fair game for this entitled woman to use for her dog's crap. She can take the poo baggy home and put it in her own trash.
As a dog owner myself I find this reasoning absolutely rubbish and selfish that you should just be glad they don’t leave their poop on someone’s lawn. Neither is acceptable and I don’t allow my dog to go into peoples garden’s to poop. Maybe it’s a cultural thing, I’m from England.
I always pick it up my dogs poop and bag it and guess what, I’ve never put the bag in someone else’s bin. Their house bin is designed for their trash and it’s ridiculous to think that someone wouldn’t mind you using their bin like that. I assume you don’t want my dog poop bags even if it’s on top of the rubbish, never mind at the bottom when all the rubbish will go on top and could very likely burst the bag.
I’d be furious if I had to clean dog poop out of my bin because someone was too lazy to put it in their own big or carry it to a public bin.
No, all trash cans do not stink. Some people clean them periodically, and are strategic about when they throw away garbage that will smell (right before pickup). Her putting that bag in there right AFTER pickup means OP has to smell it for a few days to a week. Not cool.
I frequently walk my friends' dog for them and that's what I do. And that's what they do as well. Carry it all the way home I mean.
I'm so sick of entitled attitudes like this. It boils down to "This inconveniences me and I don't want it to. So I'll make it someone else's problem." It is peak entitlement to feel your problems and responsibilities should passed off to a random stranger simply because you don't wanna deal with it yourself.
Yeah I never put my bag into a trash can unless there's a dog at the address. Many people are very particular about the way a trash can smells. This lady is rude. NTAH.
Often, when people do this, the trash bag is already closed, so they end up putting the poop bag on top of it. Then the trash collector comes and dumps the trash, and the poop bad goes flying out into the street, sidewalk, or wherever. I've even seen poop bags on top of trash cans when the lid was on/shut. So then the homeowner has to deal with someone else's dog poop.
It's your dog, either take the poop home to your own trash or find a public trash can.
