This question may have been posed before. I can’t find it.

Fairly frequently on my dog walks, I find a dog poop bag on the side of the trail. Sometimes more than one. Sometimes I come across a gathering of poop bags (not sure what the collective noun is), obviously from the same person. Just last week, I came across three identical poop bags, carefully placed on a park bench 50 feet from a garbage can.

Why are these people doing this?

Some theories I’ve explored with other dog owners:

{quoting original post}

• They think they’ll come back later to pick it up. (doing a back and forth on the trail). This does not work for the collective of identical poop bags.
• They think that it’s the job of the park employee (or someone… the designated dog poop bag collector)
• They think it’s a compostable dog poop bag, so it will naturally vanish into the ecosystem
• It’s icky and they don’t want to touch it anymore (then why bag it?)
• The poop fairy takes care of it
• They just don’t care (then why bag it?)
• They think the act of bagging it makes it disappear
• They’re fucking stupid
