Dumping dog poo outside my house

25 replies

Samedaysame · 25/10/2021 11:45

friend turned up friday evening with her dog. By the way we were not expecting her, but we had some food and a few drinks, she left all good so far. Next day husband found a dog of dog poop on our doorstep. When we checked the door bell video we can see her bending down to drop it on the step. AIBU to have expected to ask to put it in our bin or take it home. I am so annoyed

Why would you not just text her and say "why did you leave a bag of dog poo on the doorstep?"

Obviously she has been unreasonable but if she's a close enough friend to show up uninvited, be fed and watered and have a pleasant evening with, I would expect you can make a simple enquiry via text message or phone call?

SillyLittleBiscuit · 25/10/2021 13:14

She's clearly meant to take it away with her when she left but forgot, it's not really worth being annoyed about is it?

WellLarDeDar · 25/10/2021 13:14

I would text her with a pic and saying, 'is this yours?'

Sparklesocks · 25/10/2021 13:17

As it’s a friend I’d give her the benefit of the doubt that she intended to collect it when she left (rather than bring dog poo into your home) but forgot rather than maliciously leaving it there. Maybe just drop her a text or something.

Lostmarbles2021 · 25/10/2021 13:21

I agree with PP, that it was mostly that she forgot to take it. I can imagine myself doing that then remembering at some point in the future and apologising profusely.

Lostmarbles2021 · 25/10/2021 13:21

Sorry. Most likely

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 25/10/2021 13:24

She obviously forgot to take it with her. It's in a bag not smeared all over your door. Just put it in the bin.

Snoozer11 · 25/10/2021 13:28

Doesn't sound like you like your friends very much.

BeagleBeagled · 25/10/2021 13:35

Oh come on, it was surely a mistake. I couldn't get annoyed with a friend about such a small annoyance.

Chloemol · 25/10/2021 13:38

I would just text and say you left something behind can you come and collect it please

RobertsRadio · 25/10/2021 13:46

If she put it there after she left you then definitely cheeky, but if she put it there before she went into your house, then she could just have forgotten to take it with her when she left. Either way I would just ask her if she forgot something.

You'd actually do that?! Really? Instead of just putting it in the bin. Blimey
1forAll74 · 25/10/2021 14:12

She probably forgot about it, if it was dark outside. it's no big deal.

FOJN · 25/10/2021 14:17

She's forgotten it. No malice or cheeky fuckery.

Waspsarearseholes · 25/10/2021 14:20

I really, and I can't state this enough, can't believe that a friend of yours would pop round, spend a lovely evening where you shared food and drinks, and on the way home thinking, fuck her, I'm going to leave a dirty protest on her doorstep. It was clearly an oversight. Not pleasant perhaps but just put it on your bin and get on with your day.

Looubylou · 25/10/2021 14:30

She meant to pick it up on her way out again and forgot. Is that not obvious? She'd probably be very embarrassed if she realised. Cut her some slack, as a friend. You sound like you were not too happy that she just dropped in either, seeing as you mentioned it. Do you not like your "friend"?

myheartskippedabeat · 25/10/2021 15:43

@Samedaysame
That's awful 😞
I'd have picked it up and delivered it to her house
But I'd send her a text definately

EKGEMS · 25/10/2021 16:13

You place it in a paper bag on her doorstep and light it on fire that's the old school way of dealing with it 🤣

FreeBritnee · 25/10/2021 16:15

At what point in proceedings did she drop this bag of poo? On the way in or on the way out? Grin

🤣 You've got to be kidding

Please don't send a text. You'll seem absolutely batshit

Itsassimpleasthat · 25/10/2021 17:06

She sounds like a bit of a shit bag. B’doom chhhh….

Seriously though I’d just put it in the bin and remind her to take her shit home with her next time. I can’t stop…..

icedcoffees · 25/10/2021 17:26

It sounds like she left it there before she came in and just forgot to pick it up on the way back out.

It's really no big deal.

Samedaysame · 25/10/2021 17:50

Thank you for everyone saying that she probably forgot to bin it or take it with her you are all probably right. I guess it is really no big deal. Scuse the pun

I voted YANBU but I then read what pp have said and agree that it was probably an honest mistake.

FOF44 · 25/10/2021 18:41

I have done the same, walked to friend so dog inevitably has a poo on the way (walking makes them poo.) I also put the poo bag down outside the door, but this is because it seems wrong to put it in the bin of a non dog owner, not being lazy etc. And then I forgot and went happily home without it, waking in the night because I remembered and knew the DH would be unimpressed with me. It really wasn't a deliberate slight to my friends!!
