It’s Tuesday afternoon at 6:00 pm. My tiny garbage can has been sitting out on the curb empty for just over 24 hours. During that span three dog owners thought my open can was theirs to use and deposited their dog waste in it. It isn’t. Should I have brought my can in earlier? Yes, probably, but I was deathly ill over the weekend and going outside to pull the can in was more than I could handle. I don’t have a dog.
