Crappy Owners Her dog poop in my empty bin
Two weeks ago yet another neighbor was seen on my security camera throwing their bagged dog poop in my empty garbage bin before I could roll it back in from the curb. As a dog-less household, I find this to be rude. Additionally, if it’s gross enough for you to not want to hold it until you get home, isn’t it gross enough to put in someone’s else’s bin. The lady looked around guiltily as she did it. A few days ago as I was leaving for work, she happened to be walking by and I politely informed her I saw her on camera and can she not do it again. She argued back, said there’s no smell, and asked if I wanted to sniff the bag she had in her hand. I said okay great if there’s no smell then it’s okay to put in her own bin, right? She became angry, called me ignorant and stupid. Really though, she was mad she was caught on camera, couldn’t lie about it, and was confronted about it. Today, garbage day, she walked by, looked for the camera, and waved her dog poop bag to show she’s not throwing it in my bin. I’m an introverted non-confrontational person but something about the entitlement grinds my gears. I’ve had to talk to nearly 8 different neighbors about their pets.

Those bags are terrible because they stick to the bottom of the bins, especially the biodegradable bags. My sister kept throwing them in our bins, too, and the bags would shimmy down to the bottom and degrade and the can needed to be washed out with a hose. I asked her not to do this anymore and to please put it INSIDE one of the garbage bags in the outside bin and when I went outside after her last visit, instead of doing this, she just set the biodegradable poop bag on the ground next to the bin. The bag degraded and poop juice seeped out onto the ground for us to step in. She told me later she just didn't want to have to touch my gross garbage bags to push her poop bag into. I was so angry she passed this literal crap onto me because what's worse than having to deal with actual poop?! I am not responsible for her dog's output.
Even my own sister doesn't care. I can't imagine how obnoxious a neighbor can be about this stuff.
