To think that people who don't clean up after their dogs don't really deserve to live.

I know I'm not aibu. Or maybe wishing death is being unreasonable, although in this case I don't think so. I am so fed up of dog shit. On Friday I got home from a dog walk to find dog shit embedded in my boots. Yesterday at the park my toddler fell over into dog shit, luckily just on his knee rather than his hands. I've just got in the car from a walk on the beach to, you guessed it, sandy dog shit on my boots.

If you are a dog shit leaver, I'm sure you won't comment. But let me tell you - you are an awful, lazy person and should feel crap about yourself. I know picking it up isn't fun, I do it everyday when walking my dog. But it's part of what it fucking means to have one.

Yanbu. They’re all going to the Bad Place.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 18/02/2018 13:25

YANBU. Although my list of capital offences is quite long.

Doublevodka · 18/02/2018 13:27

YANBU. Lazy, selfish bastards.

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/02/2018 13:27

I think saying that they don’t deserve to live is a tad strong.

They are lazy fuckers though.

Raffles1981 · 18/02/2018 13:34

It's up there with changing my baby's nappy. Why wouldn't I pick up his poo? It's disgusting to just leave it. There is a beautiful dog walk near me, littered with dog poo. It just ruins everything. I reckon people who don't pick it up are also fair weather dog walkers. YANBU.

GlitterGlue · 18/02/2018 13:35

They are dirty, lazy fuckers who should have it rubbed in their faces.

FlyingFordAnglia · 18/02/2018 13:36

Ds1 played football this morning on a common area, separated pitches but used for dog walking, runners etc. It was an absolute disgrace. Dog shit everywhere, all over the pitches, in the goal, it was disgusting. I was walking back to the car ranting about it. Why leave it in general, but in particular if you know kids are going to be falling on the ground in it? There’s just no excuse for it. Selfish and lazy.

MacNcheese87 · 18/02/2018 13:36

They 'don't deserve to live?'

Yes, let's just euthanise these lazy bastards because they leave a mess. A little harsh. They're in the wrong, and they're lazy and dirty, but wishing someone dead for such a small misdemeanour is pretty narrow minded.

GetsPostByOwl · 18/02/2018 13:37

After cleaning dog shit up in my new house SEVEN FUCKING TIMES IN 4 MONTHS thanks to my own three children who had never lived in a place where there was the possibility of poop on their shoes and all of their visiting friends I don't think that non-picker-uppers should be killed, but I do think that every last bit of their abandoned dog shit should be smeared right into their fucking lazy bastard faces. It should be squashed into their living room carpets and on their settee (thanks middle child!). It should be spread all over their brand new car's interiors (I recall the crying at our car losing it's brand new car smell to dog crap my toddler had stood in, walked across the back seat, stood on her car seat and then sat in.)
If I ever catch the lazy Fucker who lets their large dog shit at the primary school gates almost every single day - now the dog is clearly used to that being their shitting spot - they will be wearing that turd.

MadisonAvenue · 18/02/2018 13:41

YANBU.
We live on a cul de sac and recently new neighbours (who don't come across as being the most approachable of people) recently got two puppies and now our footpaths are covered in dog crap. There's no actual proof that it's them not cleaning up after their dogs but it's a huge coincidence as being a cul de sac means that we don't get passing dog walkers and it's only started to happen since they appeared with their dogs.

Whoever isn't cleaning it up is a dirty lazy fucker.

SunnyDaysWithTheDogs · 18/02/2018 13:42

It isn't a small misdemeanour though.

It is very wrong and these people are probably the same people who think is OK to throw litter on the streets.

I'm not saying they should die though (tortured maybe).

DP says straight death is a waste and instead they should undergo "organ reassignment surgery" where their organs are harvested for those who need them. Makes sense to me.

Lovesagin · 18/02/2018 13:44

Well, obviously yabu to day they don't deserve to live, but I agree they are lazy selfish fuckers

MacNcheese87 · 18/02/2018 13:45

It's a small misdemeanour compared to theft, rape, sexual assault, murder etc. In fact, pretty much every crime.

It's annoying, it's disgusting and it's done by lazy dog walkers who don't give a shit about other people. (Ironic choice of words)

There's no excuse not to pick up after your dog. But wishing anyone dead seems very immature.

Most people would be happy to rub their faces in it.

ThisLittleKitty · 18/02/2018 13:46

I would never own a dog. Picking up poo is gross. But like I said would never own one. If you choose to then you should be willing to pick it up.

agedknees · 18/02/2018 13:46

Yanbu. On Friday walking my dog I cleaned up 12 loads of dog shit of which only 1 had been done by my own dog.

I would be happy to be a volunteer dog poo warden and issue on the spot fines.

swimster01 · 18/02/2018 13:49

YANBU but would just like to say that as a dog owner, I get equally frustrated by people not picking up after their dogs.

FrankUnderwoodsWife · 18/02/2018 13:49

As a dog owner, you are NBU! I would happily be a volunteer "poo patroller" handing out death sentances

As dog walkers need to be registered with the local council, maybe they could hand out fines as a "civic duty"? (sort of lighthearted)

WobblyBanana · 18/02/2018 13:50

I don't know if you have this phenomenon near you, but we have dog owners who scoop their dog poo into bags and then carefully hang the full bag on the nearest bush or tree. This is in London where there's a bin every 100 feet or so, even in parks.

I don't know why they think leaving a load of thin and easily rippable non biodegradable plastic around full of potentially infectious poo is any better to be honest. If they can't clean up after their dog, they shouldn't have one

TwitterQueen1 · 18/02/2018 13:54

Please don't wish death on anyone. And your DP's comment is even more offensive. I hope you and your family continue to tread in dog shit and bring it all over your house(s)for the rest of your lives.

See? Not very nice is it. Grow up. Yes, of course people should pick up dog shit. But don't be so fucking nasty.

64BooLane · 18/02/2018 14:02

Surely the OP is allowed to exaggerate for the sake of emphasis/venting/comic effect (regardless of whether individual posters see the funny side). She is not advocating actual mass violence and slaughter.

Plenty of folk out there really are violent and murderous. Plenty of threads here feature woman in actual fear; I was up late worrying about one last night. This one is so obviously not truly meant to threaten anyone with harm. Do we really have to tone-police threads like this?

I’m so tired

SoleroX · 18/02/2018 14:22

Thanks 64.

For the record, in case anyone is worried, I'm not truly advocating mass murder (so very many people leave dog shit, it would be mass murder after all). If it wasn't clear that I was being hyperbolic in order to have a little rant whilst deeply pissed off, the scent of dog shit still lingering in my nostrils, please accept my deepest most heartfelt apologies.

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/02/2018 14:25

Sorry I knew you were joking! I was sort of joining in with “a tad” rather than accusing you of massively overreacting etc.

I feel similarly about dawdling tourists who get in the way of everyone’s normal day to day life. Enjoy the new scenery at pace or get out of everyone elses’s way ffs!

Luxanna · 18/02/2018 14:26

They should be caught and fined. If caught 3 times, the dog/s should be confiscated. If you cannot be a responsible dog owner, you shouldn't be allowed to own one.

My area is in a very busy and industrial town but my local patch is leafy with lots of grassed areas and littered plentifully with dog shit. You can't look up when you're walking down the street, lets put it that way.

Three days ago, I was standing at the window while the kettle boiled when on the grass over the road I see a man with 2 dogs just walking about with his head buried in his phone while his dogs were shitting their brains out, then he just walks off without even an upward glance. Dirty bastard.

About six months ago, 4am, I have insomnia so am awake. I hear a car pull up outside, so look out the window. A bloke gets out and lets 3 large dogs out the back of his estate car. The dogs disappear off around the trees in an unlit grassed area while the chap stands under the street light. Dogs come back, he puts them back in the car and quietly drives away. The dirty bastard actually DROVE his dogs to shit in front of my home and leave it there, bloody DROVE.

UpstartCrow · 18/02/2018 14:29

Bag it and bin it or don't have a dog.

Self entitled lazy fuckers who stick and flick, or claim 'it degrades', or festoon some tree with bags of shit, or 'bury' it on a beach (sand moves you twat) give me the rage.
