Plain to see, hanging on the rear wiper.



My girlfriend reckons owner(s) hung it. After bagging the st they were unable to find a bin.

My daughter reckons owner(s) didn't pick it up, and a third party saw, and hung the st in revenge.

I reckon that owner(s) have poor taste in car ornaments. I don't rate it. Frankly, it looks st.

It's a good thing it looks like it's going to stay dry.

It is exactly that, though not our vehicle. Girlfriend correct.

To anybody who seems offended by it, what would you rather happen as opposed to the object being deposited into first appropriate bin on journey home? Better that than it not being picked up at all.

I suppose some possible reason for criticism if the offended person were a massive bellend tailgater and it was a particularly rancid malodorous example.

Doesn't the camera take a photo of the front and rear plates?

Sometimes they only have one camera. Picks up one plate on way in and opposite plate on way out. If it can't read one of the plates, either when entering or exiting its very unlikely that they could issue a ticket as they would have no evidence of the time that you spent on the car park...

I think........ ?????

Jesus Christ. Really?!

You are right, I'd rather this than have the bag hung from the nearest tree.

Can’t be this one, as all dog owners just hang it from a tree branch if they can’t find a bin.

Just put it in the boot. It's in a bag. Loads of times when I had a dog, I brought home a bag of st in my boot.

Reminds me of one of those 'drift angle' soft toys that people hang from the back of st box Civics.

Except with more jeopardy if you pull serious G wanging it on a roundabout.

Or forget it's there and switch the rear wiper on, or it's raining and engage reverse gear when the car does it for you.

I recall a discussion somewhere on the Internet where somebody was saying they hung their dog's poo bag off their towbar for the journey home every day as they didn't want it in the car as there were no bins where they take the dog for it's daily walk.

All your ideas are wrong. The husband wanted to buy a particular car, the wife who wears the trousers and says "oh no you're not you are buying a Honda Jazz". The outcome was this, a dirty protest by the husband.

Earlier today, I noticed a BMW 3 series Touring, being driven, with, what looked like, a bag of dog poo hanging from the rear wiper and remembered this thread.

Is this some new trend/craze or just a socially responsibe dog owner taking their pet's poo home for disposal wihtout carrying it inside the car with the smell or risk of upholstry contamination?

I think this is correct.

Socially responsible, sure, but I'd just carry a bucket with a lid in the boot for such occasions, I couldn't take the embarrassment.

33 this year, and I've never seen it before!
