I was so cross with another car owner today I shoved a bag of dog poo in his car grille

I probably was bu but it was heat of the moment and it's not like ive damaged his car. It was just gently placed in the plastic fan blade type thing, could be easily pulled out.

He had parked right behind me so that I couldn't open my boot, he was touching my tow bar. Normally I would hang the poo bag on the tow bar till I get home but I couldn't reach it. Couldn't get the dog in the boot. More importantly I couldn't reverse out the space like I was planning to and had to go forwards over a 45degree slope/bank and was worried for a minute the car was going to topple over.

I hope it made his car smell of poo on the way home!

You drive home with a poo bag dangling in the breeze from your tow bar? Hmm

Newes · 20/03/2016 20:16

A bag of dog shit stays on your tow bar all the way home?

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 20:17

Yep, I don't want the poo bag in my car!

You behaved like a dick tbh.

AdrenalineFudge · 20/03/2016 20:18

Yabu and hanging the poo bag on the tow bar sounds very odd.

I don't think you WBU. I think THEY were for parking right up your arse. It really pisses me off, very inconsiderate.

Osolea · 20/03/2016 20:18

That's minging, and way worse than what he did.

MooPointCowsOpinion · 20/03/2016 20:18

YW both BU.

Shit inconsiderate parking really annoys me. Pet owners not dealing with their own dog's shit really annoys me. I can't decide which is worse. Technically you did pick up after your dog I suppose.

DontCareHowIWantItNow · 20/03/2016 20:19

You behaved like a dick tbh.

Agree.

twirlypoo · 20/03/2016 20:19

But.... But.... You drive home with a poo bag dangling from your tow bar?!? What if you had a crash and it got splattered? What if it flies off on a particularly enthusiastic corner?! My mind is boggled at this Grin

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 20:19

I do feel bad now but maybe they will think twice before parking like a twat again.

WTF

That's gross

user7755 · 20/03/2016 20:19

Don't they have bins where you live?

YWBU

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 20:20

The poo bag never falls off the tow bar.

I can't work out how the poo bag stays on the tow bar normally. Surely it gets buffeted about by the air flow behind the car?

Pity the poor cyclists and pedestrians you drive past.

Yes YABU.

ABitSensible · 20/03/2016 20:20

YABVU.

Newes · 20/03/2016 20:22

He'll probably know it was you. Let's hope he's not a regular visitor at the same time as you. The dog shit dangling off the back of your car will be a bit of a giveaway.

Lanark2 · 20/03/2016 20:22

Hahahahahahahahahaha I love that post..
'The poo bag never falls off the tow bar'

Very Zen!

MingZillas · 20/03/2016 20:23

Don't feel bad OP, they didn't give a flying fuck that you had trouble because of their parking.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 20:24

Well the poo bag has handles, I tie it in a good knot. Thenn loop a handle over the tow bar. It's very secure.

No bins so seeing as I couldn't reach my tow bar my other choice was to have it in my car which I didn't want. I couldn't even pull forward a bit and then put it in the tow bar as I had to drive the car over such a steep drop there was no stopping until I got on the busy, single track road. I scraped all the bottom of my car and am hoping it's not damaged. Sounded awful.

A neighbour once put dog poo on my car and the police charged them with criminal damage.I would imagine your scenario is the same.
BTW is teh bag of dog shit still on tghe towbar when you get home.I find it hard to believe it doesn't come off at normal driving speed

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 20/03/2016 20:25

Yuk gross. You're going to give dog owners (even more of a) bad name with bags of shit hanging off your car. Yuk yuk yuk.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 20/03/2016 20:26

Maydancer - was it just poo or bagged poo? I think there's a difference.

I can't see how a bag of poo could damage a car?

You're shoving something into the mechanism of a vehicle.
