2 . Mike was walking his dog, Paul, when the dog had to go. It was garbage day, looking around but seeing no public garbage bins (公共垃圾桶), so Mike put the bag of dog poop (狗屎) into someone else's bin. When Mike turned around, the irritated person who owned the bin was shouting at him. "Hey! This isn't your garbage bin. You can't put the bag in here!" Mike quickly walked away to stop things from getting worse. As he walked toward home, he kept thinking, "Was I in the wrong?" Then Mike posted his story online, and lots of people replied.
Mike said about 80 percent were OK with others using their garbage bins for bags of dog poop. Some would allow it anytime. Others would like the bags to be put in before the garage was picked up, so the bin wouldn't smell for days on end. The 20 percent, who didn't allow others to use their bins for dog poop, said that people had incorrectly used their bins.
"Having a dog and being a dog owner had something to do with it," Mike said. Mike has a good idea of working this out. "If you can have a piece of paper that says, 'Yes, you can put your dog's poop bags in my bin,' I think we can find the answer to the problem," Mike says.
