So I’m driving in Halifax and every garbage day I see people walking their dogs and letting them piss on garbage bags! You stupid idiots, it’s someone’s job to HANDLE THOSE BAGS! Could you just think even a little bit about the city workers who have to do this thankless job? They wear gloves but they get soaked, they leak! Next time I see you be sure I’m going to let you know what an idot you are! STOP letting your dog PISS ON THE GARBAGE BAGS! These workers are in a hurry they can’t always pick up a bag by the top, they have no time to reach down and check, not to mention when it gets splattered all over their clothes, HOLY CRAP PEOPLE HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE! Stop this act now! And if you see someone letting their dog do this tell them. It’s bad enough the sharp objects they have to worry about! —Pissed Off for a Good Cause

yep, not cool at all. there are lots of trees and fire hydrants
Asking for common sense? May as well ask for a million dollars.
This is just gross. Like the folks who toss the poop bags and miss the garbage – who the hell picks that up?
That’s why they wear gloves.
Folks just don’t have a clue!
Pbbbbfffffftttt!!! I pee on garbage bags, then I peek out the corner of the window and laugh when the guy realizes it’s pee.
Ah, the inevitable “Next time” you spineless fucker.
And those fine workers are private contractors I believe?
meh, the guys who ride the back of the truck that i have known never mentioned dog pee. but they really hate poorly wrapped used kitty litter. it’s heavy, it really really smells badly and it gets into everything when its bag splits. and maggots, they are not crazy about the maggots in the summer.
they do like kids, most of them, and love it when kids wave. my guy used to tease little kids by asking ‘do you want to get thrown out?’ ( i know it sounds bad, but the little ones really got a kick out of it, like some kind of adventure, and would giggle like mad) he also rescued thrown out kittens, so wave at the guys on the back of the truck next garbage day.
It is a thankless job I would think yet an essential one. Same with the sorters back at the plant. Having to deal with the aftermath of the troglodytes who can’t sort their waste. Clear bags for everybody I say! One piece of recyclable plastic, cardboard, compost in it and it stays on the curb until you take it out and put in the correct waste container.
Another next timer. fuck off and do something in the moment and stop coming on here and bitching about it. You act like you are some sort of vigilante, running around bettering the world. When in reality all you are is a regular old finger pointer. DO SOMETHING AND STOP TALKING. Actions speak lounder than words.
bill and the guys used to make an extra couple hundred dollars a month each from pop bottles. this was before official recycling though.
there were a couple of grumpies in the crew, but by and large, the guys were happy. they liked the work, and got muni wages.
if you are in the biz tf, i have a question….why do we have to use bags? why can’t i just use a recycle container for each type of product, that would get emptied into appropriate ‘slot’ in the truck.
The only thing worse than being stuck with a sharp object – such as a hypodermic needle carelessly thrown in the gargabe – is handling a garbage bag on which a dog has peed…
I think AIDS/tetanus/whatever is a much bigger problem than mildly wet hands.
i can’t believe the poor buggers are working today, in this. we used to give the guys some cookies & a bottle at christmas, but apparently it’s not a good idea anymore (they could have bloody used it today)
What about fire hydrants? Those poor firefighter’s are saving lives and property and no one cares that they get pee on their hands? It irratates me even more when people let their dogs pee on grass, dammit, don’t they know people walk and play on the grass!!!
I live each day assuming everything is covered in pee. Garbage bags are no exception.
“It irratates me even more when people let their dogs pee on grass, dammit, don’t they know people walk and play on the grass!!”
Exactly why my dog wears diapers 24/7. Can’t have him peeing on the grass! What if a human wants to walk on that grass some day? Can’t have it forever ruined by *gasp*, er mer gerd, dog urine!
Where exactly would you have a dog pee then, genius?
Naveed; You have to learn something about sarcasm, the pieces will come together after you do. Every fucking thing a dog pisses on will come into contact with a human at some point. Think about the bitch, I’m not sub-consciously linked to my dog, if he pee’s, he pee’s. If you care so much, carry an empty water bottle then you can catch the pee before it gets on the garbage bags. It’ll even warm up your hands.
And now that I think about it all, theres a bigger issue. How could anyone use a public washroom? Don’t they know some one has to touch and clean it all? With gloves on! Just plain fucking ignorance! Now Naveed, I must ask you. Where exactly should a dog pee then, genius?
the hound peed on his feet…rooooooooooooooooooo
hahahahahaah ^^^ gotta love him
