So? I always wondered what unsociable so-and-sos would go to all the trouble of putting their dog mess in a little bag only to leave it on the pavement, and today I SAW HER DO IT! A neightbour (well, next street..) exit her own front door, carrying said bag of shit, daintily lean it against a tree, and shamelessly return indoors. So. Do I call the council 'dob in your neighbours' line? Please say yes, I'm itching to do it..

Yes. Do it.

Is it still there? (Thinking she might have collected later when taking dog out & put in poo bin)
If still there then definitely call.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 30/09/2010 20:17

post it through her letterbox?

howdidthishappenthen · 30/09/2010 20:17

This particular tree pretty much always has a bag of shit leaning against it. It's on my regular route to nursery and I pass it twice a day. So I think it's always her

WTF? She picks it up, carefully wraps it and puts it on the ground again? wtf is the matter with her? Confused

YANBU dob her in.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 30/09/2010 20:20

put it back on her doorstep. Stupid woman.

lilyliz · 30/09/2010 20:30

dob her in .I have a dog and would never dream of doing this.dirty cow.

howdidthishappenthen · 30/09/2010 20:32

I know. I have dog too. No-one likes scooping up the shit and carting it off to a bin but it's WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO if you have a dog. FFS.

Throw the bag back on her doorstep, every time you see it there.

expatinscotland · 30/09/2010 20:38

Film her doing it.

Over and over.

Put a camera aimed at the tree.

See if she isn't also caught on Google map.

howdidthishappenthen · 30/09/2010 20:38

I like your thinking, nannynobknobs and thighsmadeofcheddar :-)

Perhaps she's misread the instructions on the poop-a-scoop bag?

"Dear Mrs Neighbour,

Well done! You have managed to commit two offences in one! Littering and leaving dog mess on the pavement! Congratulations! That means you could potentially rack up £xxx in fines. Keep it up!

PS Did you know you can also accrue fines for a) parking offences b) noise nuisance, and many, many more. Go on! Use your imagination. See how many fines you can get the Council to issue against you! We'll support you by keeping them fully informed of your efforts!"

cory · 30/09/2010 20:51

I like needafoots' approach.

LionsAreScary · 30/09/2010 20:59

ROFL at prozacfairy's post... what bizarre behaviour by your neighbour. Sorry OP I don't have any more useful ideas but your thread has cheered me up.

prozacfairy · 30/09/2010 21:02

PMSL at olderandwider! Grin

ArsMamatoria · 30/09/2010 21:27

I'll bet you anything that she doesn't think she's doing anything wrong. After all, if there's always a bag of dog shit as opposed to piles, someone must be clearing the bags away (the dog shit fairy?), thereby reinforcing her behaviour.

olderandwider · 30/09/2010 21:32

I presume this antisocial neighbour wouldn't drop litter and deliberately find a turd to grind it into. Why do people thing it's ok to drop a bag in the road just because it happens to contain crap?

Meglet · 30/09/2010 21:36

Please dob her in.

ArsMamatoria · 30/09/2010 21:38

I know OlderandWider - it never fails to amaze me how people justify things to themselves. It's always someone else's problem.

We get a lot of dog shit bags round here at the side of woodland footpaths. Why anyone would think that a bagged dog shit is better than a dogshit that would just rot away in the undergrowth is beyond me. Who do they think is going to come and pick it up miles from anywhere?

MissBeehiving · 30/09/2010 21:44

Dob her in.

Here, people hang the bags in hedges like some kinf of smelly Xmas bauble.
