Argghh!! Just came out of my daughters school and stepped right in it. Right outside the gate FFS!! Can't you just pick it up with one of those charming little poop-a-scoop things. Evil, evil, evil. Rant over.

ohmigod!
I have no way of describing my anger about the dog owners who are responsible for this!

I would seriously be happy to divert a good percentage of police funds just to devote to CCTV and the arrest and imprisonment of these offenders. Irrational I know but what is wrong with these people?

Why do we have to put up with it???!!!

Blimey, that is above the call of duty, but good on you

It's okay I know it annoys the hell out of me, too! The worst is when ... sorry if tmi ... I am out on the park, and I go to pick up one of my dogs' turds ... and it's cold ... which means it's ANOTHER DOG'S TURD!

Obviously I can't just leave it there, so I end up picking up two lots!

Ah well, the joys of dog ownership and everything...

Mossie, my mum only watched over her as it was on her drive and she'd been having a recurring problem.

obvioulsy you get extra brownie points for not having one of those jjackets as well as clearing up after your dog !!

Yeah, sorry, wasn't having a go at dog owners, just sounding off about the few who don't pick it up. We have lots of dog owners on our road but they ALL pick their turds up. I spy on them from my bedroom window

You're not being unreasonable. I pick up my dogs' turds so it infuriates me to see dogs and their owners being given a bad name by those that don't clean up.

Having said that, the story is funny, but it does really annoy me when one of my dogs does a poo, and I'm given a nasty glare or asked "are you going to pick that up then?" before the poor bugger's even finished his poo and I've even had a chance to get my plastic bag out!!

But I don't wear one of those jackets.

I know...my mum couldnt believe it...problem hasnt reoccurred since funnnily enough

ROFL

poo karma indeed.

People who don't clear up their dog turds should indeed be shot. Its really not that difficult (as an ex-dog owner myself). Difficult to catch them though (the owners not the dog turds)

ugggh!

Have a good story that might cheer you up though...

My mum was having the same problem out by her back gate which was driving her nuts.

She was out there getting the car out one day and caught a woman with her dog mid-crap on my mums drive/verge bit by road. Mum stood there and waited for dog to finish, smiled at woman and said i trust you'll be cleaning that up.

Woman squirmed a bit, said of course and rummaged around in her pockets. Mum said it was bleedin obvious she didnt have a bag on her. Woman produces dog-eared tissue from her pocket picks up steaming turd with it and then cos she obviously dint know what to do next put it INTO HER POCKET and walked off!!!

PS said woman was v. posh looking and had one of those horsey type quilted jackets on.

My mum was in stiches afterwards.

Thats poo karma for you i reckon
