Me, DH, DD and DS went to the beach today - very busy - lots of people there enjoying all sorts. Lots of families with kids mucking about and quite a few dog walkers. It was all really nice and I was sat with DS soaking up the sun helping him build sandcastles and just generally people watching, when I notice a couple walking a dog near the sea.
I saw the dog do its business and just carried on watching as they were in my line of vision anyway, the totally didn't pick the dog dirt up and started walking off. They were too far to talk to so I grabbed one of DS's potty liners and scooped up this huge shit and tied it up in the bag. I then went over to the couple and asked if that was their dog, they replied yes, so I said, 'oh you appear to have left this behind' and handed them the bag. They looked completely surprised and said thank you. I just smiled and walked off back to DS. There seemed to be a bit of discussion between them and looking over to me (sat about 150m away) but eventually they just went on their way.
It's not the best beach or has the cleanest sea but there were loads of kids and adults mucking about in bare feet as you do and it would have been really disgusting to have stood in that pile of crap. I do also hate to see people not picking up after their dogs and I wasn't rude or unpleasant about it, I promise! So, WIBU to have done this?
