There had only been about a fifteen minute lag between our garbage being picked up and our emergence on the sidewalk to bring in the empty can on Friday but we still weren’t surprised to find a little present left by some dog-walking neighbor: a plastic bag full of dog doo. Granted our neck of the woods in Clinton Hill is woefully lacking in public garbage cans but that doesn’t give people the right to do this. An empty bag of potato chips? Borderline but we can live with it. A steaming bag of canine fecal matter? Almost as bad as the two humans who were taking a leak against a car outside our house as Mrs. B came home on Thursday night.

  1. Who gives a s___, it’s a garbage can. Its contents are going to a very unsavory place. However, I do think all dog and cat owners should be heavily taxed for the additional strain they place on city resources. And where is PETA in all this? I’ve seen some breeds that just do not belong cramped up in some tiny urban apartment…simply to serve some weak individual’s psychological need. It’s barbaric.

  2. What are people feeding their dogs that the crap is too heavy to carry home to their own cans? Dog crap is GROSS and it is selfish to inflict it on others. You have got to respect boundaries.

  4. Really? When I was a kid, people would walk their dogs into our front yard to relieve themselves. And you’re pissed someone put a tied bag into your can? The fact that you even mentioned a bag of chips as borderline enrages me. Guess what, anything in front of your house is your responsibility to clean. Be very thankful that people use your “private” can
