to continue to confront and shame non poo-lifting dog owners until they get the goddamn message?

I have a dog. I recently moved to a quiet cul-de-sac opposite a lovely little green that my and the neighbourhood children use to play on every single day (gardens are small). I pick up rubbish when I'm over there, another neighbour does the same - it's generally kept in really nice condition.

Yesterday morning I saw an untethered Jack russell have a crap on the green so went next door (it belongs to my neighbours father) and asked him to pick it up. His spluttering response: I don't have a bag. My response: here you are . He complied.

This morning I was making breakfast for the DC and see a teenage boy walking two large dogs on the green. One drops a deuce, he goes to walk off. I went outside (in my leopard print pyjamas and no bra Blush) and shouted over 'Can you pick up your dog's poo please?' His response: I don't have a bag. Me: Hmm I'll give you one.

Last week I was driving DC to activity and saw a couple walking in front of a dog that wasn't on a lead. It stopped to shit, they didn't even look back, just kept on walking. I turned the car around and pulled up next to them, told them their dog had crapped and asked them to pick it up. Their response: we don't have a bag. Me: 'Here you go' .

AIBU to think that IF YOU HAVE A FUCKING DOG YOU PICK UP AND DISPOSE OF IT'S FUCKING SHIT. It isn't the highlight of my day waiting for ddog to go and lifting it but it's part of the fucking deal, if you aren't prepared to pick up shit then DON'T GET A FUCKING DOG.

Sorry, am quite angry.

AIBU to continue my campaign of shaming and handing out bags until people stop letting their dogs shit with impunity on a communal area?

From your description and from the frequent dog poo, it sounds like we live on the same road! YANBU!

Every day there is a dog poo outside my front door, or within 4 feet of my door anyway!

I have 4 dogs and pick up after every single one of them.

I can't understand why people don't pick up after them.

YANBU. I'm sure I'm known in our village as the crazy poo bag lady. I'm always handing out bags to people. It makes me really angry that people don't pick up after their dogs.

Lazy dog owners always provide the 'I don't have a bag' line. Angry

I think on the spot fines for dog walkers who aren't carrying poo bags would work, although idealistically as I know it would be tricky to enforce but could deter.

Well done OP. Hope they get the message soon.
