My go to is "my kids have to live here when you're dead...."

We have a beautiful small Mediterranean Pine forest near my home. Filled to the brim with small black plastic bags filled with dog poop. I think I even took pictures of it once. Enjoy nature!

Yeah like it would've been better to leave the doo there, now you've littered shit AND a bag.

Can someone, anyone, please explain why someone would do this?

Not picking it up in the first place, though wrong, at least makes sense. But this is just crazy

It would be more environmentally friendly to just leave the dog shit alone instead of putting it in a bag first if you're just gonna leave it on the ground still.

Shit Trees. Dunno if it's common in the rest of the world but a lot of Brit dog owners tie them to tree and buch branches. Then in winter you have Shit Trees & Turd Bushes.

I once did this because i knew i was going to walk past that spot again and didnt want to carry it the whole time. no one was on that trail that day. and i brought it back out one the return a few hours later. (there were no trash cans out there.) Perhaps something similar was going on with you? Or am I a bad guy?

I hate those people. I only do it with my own shit like a decent member of society

Sometimes I feel pretty lucky to have grown up in Vermont. Because this is the norm, hell we even have a state holiday where we all go out and pick up trash that Flatlanders leave. And then I remember oh wait we are also the state that's been destroying our forests and farm land for the sake of building suburban homes for litter bugs that don't respect the culture that was already here.

Sounds aggressive, how would you fit me in your pockets?

For all of you who don't want to revisit reddit:

Its okay, because one day the weight of society will unexpectedly crush you without warning. So no suffering whatsoever.

I kept a 1/4 filled water bottle in my car for butts. The reason I started this is because an old mad shouted at me at the lights.

I accidentally consumed that water once. Shortly afterwards I quit smoking.

Back when there were film canisters, I would use those. Then I smartened the fuck up and quit smoking.

I've always put rubbish in my pocket and kept it until I can find a bin after seeing a Sesame street segment about it as a young kid.

But when I smoked I did sometimes drop my butts on the ground. Normally I would keep hold of them if I was near a public bin as most of them have ashtrays in the top I could dispose of them in.

Coincidentally I've noticed that l, at least locally to me, the council have replaced those bins with ones with no ashtrays which has definitely increased the number of butts on the ground. Wonder if having them is seen as encouraging smoking.

But sometimes if I wasn't near a public bin I'd drop my cig, stub it out and leave it on the ground. I used to smoke hand rolled cigarettes with no filter, just tobacco and paper. I justified it to myself saying it would biodegrade but it still can't have been good for the environment.

Also swift saw a company had a worse accident rate and was like hold my beer I'm gonna buy em!

You probably smell like cigarettes because of the smoking

I visited Japan like 15 years ago, your not alone over there. Everyone does that and has little boxes to store them in. This goes for all trash they make, they don't have trash cans in public since someone abused them once to bomb a train area. I loved it over there... so much care and respect for everything.

Could you use the cigarette box? That's what I used to do. Just stick the butt in one of the empty spots/the lid.

I've always believed the biggest cause of littering was lack of proper receptacles.

I was proven wrong every year at the county fair.

I've seen too many empty trash cans surrounded by trash on the ground. It's about the mindset
