It’s a festive dog poo one (everybody’s favourite, surely?)

[crispysausagerolls]

I’m minding my own business this morning, walking my dog, baby napping in buggy when... this lady comes over to me and aggressively and MISTAKENLY accuses me of not picking up my dog’s poo. She is actually talking about the dog of another lady, a few paces behind me. This is pointed out to her. In fact, I am brandishing a little poo bag full of stinky poo anyway; as I have been searching for a bin. This is waved around to demonstrate that yes, I do pick up my dog’s poo.

Do you think she apologised for her aggressive accusation? Even when I passively aggressively asked if she was going to? Not so much as a “my mistake”, “I beg your pardon”. Not even a twee “whoopsies!”. She just started berating the lady behind me.

If you ignore the fact that I am clearly too annoyed by this non-event, do you think AIBU to have expected acknowledge that it wasn’t my dog fouling willy nilly?

I have enabled voting as this is a most serious matter which requires statistics

YANBU same thing happened to me by someone opening their upstairs window and shouting down. I, too had a poo bag I could brandish as evidence. They just slammed the window shut - no apology no nothing !

What a travesty!

Well obviously YWNBU

I can't imagine anyone thinking you were!

I’d have given her a row.

Yanbu. But I am disappointed that you don't actually have an amusing story about a festive dog poo, eg your dog ate a red crayon.

@Thelnebriati same. I thought the dog ate glitter or tinsel. Disappointed

YANBU, her opening line should have been "Is that your dog?"

So there’s no dog poo pile with some holly on top like a Christmas pudding? YABU for false advertising in the title.

Also, angry lady had probably trodden in a few poos on her way round the park so I can sympathise with you both. Sorry you got shouted at. Thanks for picking up your dogs poo.

I fear I would not be polite. Sick as I am of the amount of shit left in the park by people, I wouldn’t shout at them unless I saw their dog doing the deed.

You should have popped your poo bag in her pocket.

You should have suggested she looked chilly and offered up a hand warmer....

We always pick up dog poo as do most people where we live. This morning some people, presumably young have left plastic bottles, cans and McDonalds wrappers on the parking area where they parked up to eat/shag. Rural location. I object to that more than the dog poo.

Are the 4% who think I’m being unreasonable saying it because of the lack of tinsel poo?!

Nothing to add really except where I lived before we moved to our current home, someone always decorated dog poops on the ground with glitter at Christmas time. I don’t know if it was the same person/people but there was also someone filling in gaps between kerb stones or walls with mosaic tiles. Me and the kids loved spotting new bits of handiwork on the way to and from school

Sensational. I feel quite shit now that my thread isn’t about that instead.

@Winterdaysarehere and @Cacklingmags naughty naughty, both of you! 😆

I’ve had this too.. walking a chihuahua and a mad woman demanding I pick up his poo. Said poo was bigger than the bloody dog like that’s really not his promise!

I’ve also had a Christmas poo.. well ddog3 has.. she chewed a make your own card set, munching mostly the red glitter. It came out nice and sparkly, she’s still fine and it let me figure out who chewed the card set. There’s nothing like a sparkly shit
