This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why do people do that? I mean, if they intend to abandon the dog poop, why would they bag it first?

Not defending this, but some people intend to pick up the bag on their return, presumably as they are headed away from a trashcan and will return to one on the way back. They don't want to carry it the whole time.

They should just carry it the whole time, or return to the start then and there to drop it

If that's the case and they don't forget, then I am firmly on their side. Literally no one is impacted if the bagged poo sits there another 30-60 minutes...

Generally agree, the issue is when they forget

Sometimes people walking dogs plan on walking past the same spot on the return trip, so they leave the bag. Sometimes they forget to pick it back up, or forget that they dropped it there and take a different route home. Sometimes bag number two is the next day, or some other person's bag. Generally, if someone's going to pull a shit and split, they're not bagging.

Don't waste your time trying to analyze the decision making of an animal.
