We have just realised we are living amongst heathens ??. Big fat cowardly custard heathens at that.
Back story - next door neighbours let their 2 dog out to roam freely to toilet themselves where ever takes their fancy. Gardens are open plan so we as well as other neighbours in the street are greeted with dog turds when we leave for work in the morning. When I have actually seen said dogs soil on our property I have visited neighbour and politely asked them to collect their dogs deposit. This they do without any verbal response - mute is the word. No apology, no promise it won't happen again - zippo nothing.
Deposits are getting more frequent. So DH looked on line, got advice about the legislation around fowling and dogs not being under control. He printed documents off and went round to neighbours armed with the facts.
I supported DH about going round but said taking paperwork would not go down well and I did not want to start WW 3.
The female of the house would not speak to DH who called her partner who then proceeded to be very verbally aggressive and was threatening . The door was slammed in DH face. He then placed paperwork on their car for them to find in the morning.
When we went to bed we looked out of the window to check everything was calm on the western front to see next door but one neighbour tip a tin of turds on our neighbours car.
He was 'piggy backing' my DH earlier action and if DH had not seen him in the act our neighbour would have assumed it was my hubby who had dumped the dog turd along with the paperwork on his car.
DH then diplomatically went round to see the turd dumper and repeated what he'd seen. Apologies ensued and he pledged to go and clear it up.
Nonetheless we are both left with a bad feeling as we have always thought we have had in the main good neighbours on our street but we now know they are cowardly Twunts :(
