Dogs peeing on car tyres

[whyareallthegoodonesgone]

Put on AIBU for traffic-
need some advice-
how do I word a message to put on road WhatsApp group?
basically- we have 2 cars- one on drive one outside our hedge on road
daily approx 2-3 times a day- someone is letting their dog pee on the car tyres.
firstly- disgusting. Why??? Just why??? Secondly there are bushes, verges and trees all along the road!
I am sick of cleaning it constantly now.
we have a child with severe contact anaphylactic allergies- we don’t even use that car unless it’s myself or hubby using it alone.
I don’t know who it is that’s doing it.
so wanted to compose a message to put on the road WhatsApp group that doesn’t come across as a doormat or being bitchy either.
appreciate any replies x

Do not do this unless you want to be the laughing stick of your street

Ugh. Some dog owners are so gross. How hard is it to train it to wee on cars?

I don't know about dogs pissing on our cars tyres but I have seen our local neighbourhood cat spray on ours every single day. Probably cause my husband nearly accidentally ran her over 😂. She's a stubborn cat with an attitude that rules the roost and I just love her to bits and call her The boss 😂.

Surely that depends on the width of the pavement. We all park with two wheels on the pavement on one side of road and there's still plenty of room due to the pavement being ridiculously wide. You can actually park fully on the pavement and still get past (we were all told to do it by the police when when the army needed access to our road before I'm accused of anything!).

On the subject of dog pee, whilst it's unpleasant it's not something I could get worked up about. I might bang on the window if I happened to see it but wouldn't go out of my my way. Now next doors cat digging up my plants so he can pee in the planter is another matter...

I think your DD is more likely to come into contact with dogs wee on bushes and grass than a car tyre - I wouldn't let me kid touch one anyway!

Could be cat spraying.

I'm with the OP...

It's just a social decorum thing to respect other people's stuff. By the same token from some of the responses, it'd be fine just to urinate on your neighbour's front doors?

Pet ownership in this country is weird - people can let their pets do whatever, without recourse, but people like OP aren't allowed to own nice things and care about them?

I take great pride in my car, I spend lots of time cleaning and detailing it, including the tyres, rims, wheel arches to better than factory-new condition every week, i find it therapeutic, if I caught a dog peeing on it, it would learn a lesson not to, in very short order...

How? What would you do to make the dog 'learn its lesson?'

Can dogs be trained? That's ultimately the root cause, people are too lazy to train their dogs

Those who think it's ok to let their dog piss on someone's car, I assume would be ok with a human pissing up against theirs? There's no difference, it's gross

@Phoebo so the poster I replied to was suggesting they'd train the dog?

Exactly! Imagine you looked out the window and a grown man was pissing on your car every day, even 3 times a day, rusting your alloys with his yellow piss.

If your dog pisses on someone's car, it will get run over by a car. The more piss, the messier the accident. Karma. That's the way the universe works. What goes around comes around. Basically, life is a big circle of yellow steaming dog piss.

So alloys are rain proof but not wee proof

I'd be pretty tempted to wire the alloy to one of the small electric fences you can get to keep pests out of the garden, with a warning sign of course.

In would say that a swift kick ought to sort them out, but, funnily enough, I suspect the pet owners would miraculously find a way of controlling their animals if the vehicles owner was standing beside it at the time.

@FixTheBone you'd kick a dog? But the who would detail your alloys whilst you were busy at the police station?

I've literally read it all. Is your kid allergic to dog piss?! How do you even know it's happening? Jesus....you drive over worse, dead birds, horse shit the lit, dog wee is the least of your worries 😅😅😅😅

I also said it wouldn't happen because nobody would let their dog do it's business on my car while I was stood there.

Which pretty much sums up everything I hate about British society at the moment, a load of cowardly hypocrites. The fact it wouldn't happen with the owner stood there tells you that the owners know it's wrong, but people are happy to do whatever they think they can get away with - all the rewards of a civilised society, none of the responsibilities.

Also, you assumed it was the dog I said I would like to kick...

Personally, I'm not going to disrupt my dog from peeing on an obstacle on the path that shouldn't be there. There's a street I walk where owners block most the pavement, whilst leaving their drives empty, and I can hardly get the pram down it, so that would be free reign for my dog!

On the road, I wouldn't let him, though. Maybe if you're blocking the pavement, they're annoyed and have no reason to stop their dogs.

Same with gardens, don't let him pee on a garden but if plants are spilling onto the walkway, I'm not gonna stop him.

@FixTheBone funnily enough, I think you'd probably fall in to the category of 'cowardly hypocrite' if the dog owner was substantially sized too.

Dog or owner, the problem still stands - who will be there to detail your alloys whilst you are at the police station, because what you claim you'd do, is actually illegal.

Animals are territorial, you keep cleaning your wheels! Clean wheel? poor cat/dog living in area has to get it’s scent back onto the vehicle. The number of times I’ve had my car through the car wash only to get home and straight away find my cat spraying all over wheels bumper etc

I’m wondering if it’s the smell of another having peed that’s making it an inviting place to pee?

there’s a spray you can buy to stop them I think, might be worth looking into or perhaps for a few days put some strong disinfectant in a watering can and cover the tyre and the pavement with it. With a bit of luck they’ll not like it and go pee somewhere else.

Not everyone likes dogs or wants them near their cars. A responsible owner should not be close enough to a car to let the dog pee on the wheel

Sorry,but I think you are rather over-reacting to this. It's not as if car tyres are meant to be kept germ free. They must come into contact with millions of bacteria every day!
