So this happened today. Out walking my dog, minding my own business. He decides he needs a poo so I stand next to him rifling in my pocket for a poo bag. A woman comes out of her house and walks towards her car. Stops dead in her tracks and glares at me. I say tentatively... hello? She says 'I would like to know what you're doing?' I reply.. well I'm just about to clean up after my dog. She replies'well I should think so!!' I was.. like.. well yep.. there you go! That's what I'm doing 🤷‍♀️She then says... don't even THINK about putting it in my bin!! I said I have absolutely no intention of putting it in your bin.. I have my own bin thanks!! Turning to pick up his poo.. she carries on. I can't believe you're just standing there, waiting for him to finish!! I snapped at this point and said what the hell is wrong with you?? What do you want me to do drag him down the street mid poo?? She then got in her car and shot off at about 60 mph! I mean come on! I've heard of dog owners being told off for leaving their dogs mess... but I still can't get my head around this!!! ( btw he is a very small dog and his poo is like raisins! I always pick up, even I think no one would even notice it.) AIBU to think the woman was absolutely crackers??

Remember this post if you ever tut or sign at something. But this is Mumsnet so I'm sure you never have and never will.
I don't tut at things. It's passive aggressive and silly.

Either:
Something is a big enough issue to say something, so I'll say something
or
It's not a big enough issue to say something so I say nothing, accept it's annoying and keep my thoughts to myself.

Tutting is a bizarre behaviour.

Silly bitch. Take no notice.

Hahaha! She clearly was high or something. I can’t imagine what she expected. Maybe she was doing something suspicious and thought you were using your dogs poo time to spy on her? 😂
