Some c**t has kindly allowed their dog to shit on the corner outside our house- a route commonly used by kids going to school/oldies on their merry way. I cant bring myself to move someone elses dogs shit nor should I have to but I dont want it sat outside the house being trod in and walked all around the neighbourhood. WIBU to ring the council and ask them to sort this environmental health risk as tbh im fucking fuming

This is the funniest thread I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Outraged OP demanding the council come round and clear away some labradoodles dog shit while fuming that nobody agreed it was a slight overreaction. Yes report it to the council, but don't go out, stare at it, write a thread on mumsnet, then call the council over what could have been cleared up in 10 seconds. Maybe the dog soiled itself after seeing your red eyes through the curtain. :)

In conclusion, ban dogs, ban pavements, DNA test everyone, demand that council workers clear up poo. If you don't pay council tax who has to clean away poo? Only I'm a student so get this bin emptying malarky and poo cleaning for free!

BoysBoysBoysAndMe · 05/03/2012 13:53

Have the council been yet op?

Is it even still there?

gilmoregirl · 05/03/2012 13:56

I agree the bucket of water approach or I would consider bagging and binning it myself.....

I too feel very strongly about dog poo and I have gone as far to to pick it up.

My delightful new upstairs neighbours are students living in a flat owned by one of their parents. When said parent visits she used the communal back garden as her dog's toilet.

That's right - the communal back garden where we hang our washing and DS plays in the grass.

I was hanging out washing one day and DS was happily playing with his cars when I looked down and saw two piles of dog poo.

I picked them up (using plastic bags) and binned them.

Could not believe anyone would actually do that - you have to go through a locked door to get to the garden rather than just going out the front door and letting your dogs poo on the pavement like other people! It is disgusting - my local area is practically a dog toilet grim

noone should have to clear up another dogs shit, but if another dogs shit is somewhere thats a nuisance to me, id still do it, or wash it into the road with a bucket of water. I cant imagine making the council come out to clear up something that would take me ten seconds.

ilooklikegrotbagstoday · 05/03/2012 14:02

I can't believe OP is getting a flaming over this.

Of course the council should clear up the shit. I am a dog owner and i pick up my dog's crap and get so annoyed at others that don't where we live.

These are the same owners that let there dogs kill the trees and attack the children's play equipment in order to train their dogs to attack on command as some sort of status. I'm sure they'd appreciate me handing them a nappy bag to pick up the crap! I'm sure they're very grateful to you all for picking it up for them and all the while you do, the council don't have to do anything either.

When I was a baby, gilmoregirl, my mum once caught a woman putting her dog over our front garden fence, so that it could shit in our garden. Shock

ilovemydogandMrObama · 05/03/2012 14:16

GetOrfMoiiLand · 05/03/2012 14:19

How do you get a dog to kill a tree?

Ruudiluca · 05/03/2012 14:21

Still cannot believe dog shit discussion has taken up ten pages and over 200 posts. Grin

iCANdothisiCAN · 05/03/2012 14:23

There's a hotline to the faecal renegade?

I am in awe.

Does he have a special signal too, a giant turd beamed high into the sky??

GetOrfMoiiLand · 05/03/2012 14:24

Hpw DOES a dog kill a tree? Grotbags needs to explain. Or I'll get the Faecal Renegade on 'er.

ilovemydogandMrObama · 05/03/2012 14:24

PandaWatch · 05/03/2012 14:24

Speaking of dogshit, whatever did happen to white dog poo? Confused

GetOrfMoiiLand · 05/03/2012 14:26

Who is Frank?

Is that your youngsters' equivalent of who shot JR?

(btw I am only 34 and wasn't even conscious when JR was shot, so I don't know what I am blathering on about)

PandaWatch · 05/03/2012 14:26

That sounds like the name of a really rubbish punk band - "Dog Tree Killer and the Faecal Renegades"

GetOrfMoiiLand · 05/03/2012 14:29

Lead singer: Frank

GetOrfMoiiLand · 05/03/2012 14:30

imnotmymum · 05/03/2012 14:31

Frank underworld corries or is he not dead yet read so much about whodunnit guessed I must have missed the episode

ilooklikegrotbagstoday · 05/03/2012 14:32

They get their horrible mutts to jump and hang by their teeth from the branches of the new trees that are planted in the parks. The branches are snapped off and the trunks are attacked until the tree is destroyed.

The swings in the playground have massive chunks out of the seats for the same reason.

This is all to make the owners look well 'ard whilst loitering on street corners, letting their dog's shit anywhere they bloody feel like and leaving it for some very naice person to pick up or swill away for them.

sixlostmonkeys · 05/03/2012 14:32

the council don't have to do anything either.

PandaWatch · 05/03/2012 14:38

sixlostmonkeys - interesting. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

PandaWatch · 05/03/2012 14:39
imnotmymum · 05/03/2012 14:39

At least someone clearing up today

sixlostmonkeys · 05/03/2012 14:40

you're welcome (although I think you should have cleared it up yourself or phoned the council) Wink Grin
