I am not amused.

Good for you but there's so many assholes who leave the bags behind that you gotta understand why it triggers people. And every one of those assholes would say they're coming back for it later if asked, so besides your trustworthy face, what reason do people have to believe you when you say you're coming back?

I was throwing them in the portapottie at the halfway point of our regular route, I even asked on here what people thought about that. Opinios were somewhat divided. My theory was the pump would just suck the bag up when they cleaned the thing out, so I figured no harm no foul.

One day I went in there to toss one and there was a handwritten note on the wall that said "Please don't throw your dog shit bags in here it clogs the pump". So that was the end of that.

What do you do with your tampons?

[riser4]

I would imagine that cleaning the pump fir the thing that sucks the shit out of the portapotty is probably even less fun than running the thing that sucks the shit out of the portapotty.

[BCMtnHound]

Poop sin confessional: I will sometimes bury it under a log or a big rock or whatever.

Can relate. It keeps the hounds from getting into it.





We were talking about personal backyard constitutionals, Right?

A few times, always on the hottest stillest days for some reason, I had to pump out an outhouse on an island in Penobscot Bay with a hand pump into barrels and cart the barrels through the woods on a hand truck and load them on a raft to take them to the mainland to get pumped into a truck at this camp I used to work at.

One time some kid must have shat his pants and thrown his underwear in the shitter and they clogged the pump almost to the point of ruin but we eventually got them out of there. That was a shitty job. So I can relate to the guy. So I stopped doing it.

I'm not sure on the specifics but around these parts people who want to protect plants from deer use sprinklers on motion sensors. Put them around your plants like it is a steel mill in Ukraine. Deer come by and get pelted, yard gets watered, plants thrive, everybody wins. I don't know details on how to set this up but here is an option. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Orbit-Yard-...ler/1000661635

I bag my dogs ass and put it in my pocket. If I leave a bag anywhere there is a 100% chance I will forget to pick it up. I know because I tried doing that...once. Just don't buy the cheap ass bags, search for the good ones that actually contain the smell and are strong enough to make it home in a pocket.

Double bag it.

Am I alone in being seriously irritated by dog people that leave their bagged shit in my garbage can if I don't bring it in from the curb fast enough? For god's sake take your own shit home! Why does it become my problem? I have enough shit of my own to deal with, and I don't even have a fucking dog.

You are not alone on this !
I have also seen on social media people telling others to do this. WTF !

I live on the edge of downtown. Apartment dwellers drive into the neighborhood
to walk their dogs. Occasionally I have to remind some of them that my yard is not
a dog park.

If it's garbage day and the truck hasn't come yet, I'll leave a tied up dog poop bag in someone else's can if it's out on the curb/street. Don't see why that's a big deal. I'd never do it if the truck has already come, that's a dick head move.

I don't know about that but my dog has started eating dryer lint. WTF.

My dog loves to eat toilet paper - chews it off the roll like it’s a corn cob or something. Caused some issues early in the pandemic when TP was hard to come by and she got into the bathroom and ate several rolls.

Like Zion zig zag, I used to bag my poop and leave it to pick up on the way out. I'd almost always pick it up on the way out, though I did forget every rare now and then, or change my route not thinking about the poop bag. I would also occasionally do what I call "poop penance", picking up other dog's poop to make up for the times I forgot the bag I left.

I stopped leaving poop bags because I realized that it didn't matter if I NEVER forgot to pick up the bag. People go on hikes (including me) to experience nature, to relax in that environment, and plastic bags of poop degrade that experience for anyone who sees it, regardless of whether it gets picked up an hour later. And I live in a place where there are a lot of poop bags on the trail, and it's pretty gross. Not wanting to be the guy who contributes to someone else's hike being crappy (pun intended), I started carrying them with me, it's not that hard.

Yeah, mine eats that to. And bedding. And underwear, mainly my wife's and mainly the crotch. But the lint is a new one.

Definitely not alone. What’s even more annoying is when they leave it in my empty recycling pail. I’ve also seen people dispose of dog waste bags in recycling pails that have yet to be picked up.

Then there are the people who put food contaminated garbage in the 90 gal recycling bins, which the bears can easily get into, instead of in the bear boxes where the garbage is supposed to go. Every week I see scattered garbage from knocked over recycling bins.
Meanwhile, in California all food waste is now supposed to be composted. Because of the bear problem Truckee people are supposed to take their food waste to central collection dumpsters. Like that's going to happen.

Speaking of bears, I was amused by this bear in Connecticut that managed to lock itself inside a car: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2071068.html

Pretty soon it might not dog shit in that bag left by the trail.

Is putting your shit in a landfill really the best possible solution?

[riser4]

Not really, it needs to go to a treatment facility.

[Mazderati]

Or under the door handles.

[old goat]

The idea of the WAG bags is that the chemicals in them make the shit no worse than other garbage. Nonetheless the ideal solution would be to compost it.

[Cisco Kid]

I rarely need to dispose of dog poop but when I do I move it to where it won't get stepped on and let Mother Nature handle it. Am I a bad person?

Yes. But not for that alone.
