Yes if I didn't like them, I'd be cross. Why not put it in their own bin!

Their own bin was full?

Yes.

They had 2 small kids, a bin bag with dirty nappies, presumed the elderly couple who lived next door would have space in bin, so chucked their bag in neighbours bin.

I'd chuck it back out on their doorstep.

Or feed each nappy, one by one, back through their letter box.

Slightly different...we had a neighbour who didn't seem too bothered where his dog pooed, he ignored complaints. I got so sick of having to check our front lawn before letting our toddler out to play so I started flinging the poo back over the fence onto his lawn. I deliberately waited one day until he was in his garden and flung his mutt's poo back He actually saw red until I repeated his own words back to him "it's only poo fgs, easily disposed of so what's the problem". He had the bloody nerve to threaten me with legal action LOL.

Good for you. Knowing you had a toddler and still letting his dog poo on your lawn is horrible. He needs to educate himself.

"Dog poo can contain roundworm eggs, and accidental ingestion through not washing hands thoroughly after contact may develop into a form of larvae that can migrate to your brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, or heart. When they migrate to the eyes, they can cause blindness, especially in children."

Nah.

I don't sweat the small stuff..

I'd rather you do that, than leave it out and have it get ripped open by a feral cat and scattered all over the neighborhood..

Normally I would agree with you, but if it was a neighbour who had caused problems in the past, and if they put a full bag containing stinky nappies in my bin, I wouldn't like it.

Also, in my area, if the wrong rubbish is put in the wrong bin (we have four, different colours for different waste) binmen can refuse to empty the bins....and yes, they do look.

I bet your hubby spent half a second worrying about this and moved on. 😎

It's not me...it's a problem that has caused days of debate on another forum.

Ok, is there a difference in the male vs female reactions?

Hard to tell because most of the user names are crazy....nothing as simple as Syl or Maddog on there.

I would say that the majority of posters are female, and maybe the replies are half agreeing with the OP...half not.

The thread starter was the one who (allegedly) put the bin bag in the neighbours bin.

A man dumped his garden rubbish in my uncle's bin once, my uncle was in his eighties at the time and couldn't move the bloody bin afterwards.

His son had a word and it didn't happen again.

I wouldn't like shitey nappies in my bin, oh no.

If you can't fit it in your bin, take it to the dump.

Is there a charge for extra bags of rubbish or something? On collection day I see wheelie bins with rubbish bags piled alongside where I am.

It's a bit cheeky to dump stuff without asking.

Our neighbours are OK, on the side and across the road we have agreements, we shift each other's bins if they are out, we could use them if needed, but it very seldom is. There is one family whose bin is absolutely disgusting, I don't think they have ever cleaned it, I wouldn't fancy their half wrapped stuff in my bin though....especially with dirty nappies.

Apparently some councils do charge to move extra bags. Someone said theirs did, they were accused of lying, and that sparked more debate.

How come people here are getting worked up about something that never happened to them?

It's just a matter of debate, who is getting worked up?

Years ago I had a neighbour that used to scrape their dinner plates into their wheelie bin.

It was always hoaching with flies and they kept it at the front door.

Our council don't always take bin bags that are with the bin, just depends on the binman.
