To ring the council and ask them to deal with this

[EauDeLaPoisson]

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

lol at 'fuck the law'

Why are we talking about foxes again?

I think I would have got a stick or a bit of cardboard and simply flicked it into the gutter.

Not a big enough deal for me to ring the council

But then again, my council isn't half as good as the OP's by the sound of them.

The OP's council managed to answer the phone, put her through to the right department and arrange for someone to come and clean it up within minutes of her ringing them.

I'd still be hanging on the phone right now or waiting for a call back

It is awful that there are enough dirty baskets in the world that a council has to equip a bike with high velocity water jets and employ a faecal renegade an operator to ride round town blasting shit smears as he zooms through the streets.

worral...................... you may be wrong........ someone did answer the the phone ...correct.......

BUT it could of been the cleaner who took down all the right details then forgot about it the minute someone brought the tea trolley around.

Ewww thankyou Jane!

I always thought black shit belonged to cats?

I'm not really a crap connoisseur...or maybe I am?

Less CHiPs and more SHiTs

I don't understand why someone would ask a load of people if they are being unreasonable and then go on to attack those who say yes, you are being unreasonable.

It has already been suggested you simply swill it away. This is the best advice. If you don't disinfect the area where a dog has shit then even if it has been scraped up, the scent is an invitation to all other dogs to shit in the same spot.
Wasting resources to clear up a pile of poo is ridiculous and now I guarantee you will discover more poo before too long.

Sometimes it's best to have just a bit of common sense, deal with a problem and then get on with your day. Insulting people who have such common sense is not on. I suspect there is actually more going on in your head than this pile of poo and it may be best to try and work it out, rather than taking it out on resources and unsuspecting internet users.

If it happened just the once maybe just pick it up and dispose shit happens! if recurring problem set up a videocam and wait to nail them and send to council and they will be prosecuted ! leave it much longer someone will have trodden in it anyway and there you go it gone !!

I haven't 'attacked' anyone, I have simply challenged some ridiculous view points- see thats what generally happens when you debate an issue!

I don't understand why fox poo needs to be reported to Environmental Health. We have foxes who live quite happily in the woodland at the back of our houses. Unfortunately, we don't have fox litter trays. We do have wheelie bins, though, so the foxes don't have the opportunity to rip open bin bags. I think they mainly stalk chickens people have in their back gardens.

Will Environmental Health take the foxes away, or will they train them to poo in more appropriate places?

Fox poo is very black and sticky and has a very distinctive smell. Have experience of getting both fox and dog poo off children's shoes.

A bucket of hot water works well on moving the fox poo from the pavement. It works well with dog poo too.

Where there's a persistent problem with dog poo, then by all means ring the dog warden, but for the odd turd, I'm sure a community spirited person wouldn't mind swilling it away.

I wouldn't worry about fox shit.

Most of it is rolled on by dogs anyway, thus removing it from our streets.

Btw, what is the difference between shit and shite?

Oh so now ive got mental health issues because I don't want to clean up someone elses animal shit! hahahaha only on Mumsnet! Thanks for you insightful view into my mind sixlostmonkeys- I shall self refer to a head doctor on your spiffing advice!

I haven't 'attacked' anyone

On page one you called me ''knuckhead''

I am laughing though and believe you must have more problems and this one just tipped you over the edge.

was only wondering what the real problem is :)

I find it hard to believe that you get so upset and uptight over a pile of poo. It's not. quite. right.....somehow.

A community spirited person would have cleaned up their own dog's shit.

I've been waiting for 2 months for my council to come a fix a broken street light outside my house

Yes report it, take a picture of it, but just bag it and sling it in the bin

My dog loves to roll in fox poo. Not very nice at all, but a top tip is when showering it off rub in tomato sauce and the smell really does evaporate.

sixlostmonkeys- I think you're overthinking things. OP is pissedd off about a dog turd. Analysing her personality is not required.

I would get very annoyed about dog shit.

I remember having a comedy fall on teh way to work once, running down a hill in low heels, slipping in a load of shit, massive Marx brothers fall and shite smeared up the back of my work uniform, cue me hobbling back up the hill crying in rage.

heh, I'm not analysing her personality
but, her overreaction to the said poo and to posters' suggestions is quite alarming!

Has it been cleaned up yet?

I called you a knucklehead as you stated it was funny...it isnt funny so you were labelled appropriatley- have you noticed you are the only person on here who has said it was funny AND the only person to have been called a knucklehead? Wonder if there just might be a corealtion?

correlation god damn it............
