to want to post the dog poo through the letter box of the dirty buggers who don't clear up after their dogs?

I've just about had enough - this week got it on pram wheels taking ds to school!!!! Thought we moved to quite a nice area but beginning to have serious doubts if people think this is acceptable behaviour. dh thinks I'm getting obsessed.

not unreasonable to want to do it. Perhaps a touch unreasonable/mad to actually do it!

And that kind of effort is brilliant gagamama, only wish someone had made the same yesterday. You won't believe this!

I was helping my son on to a ride in the playground near my parents, I can't lift him (pregnant, SPD) so kneeled down to let him step up on my knee, and looked down to POO on his shoe, then on me!! Thank god my dad was there and able to deal with my son and his shoe whilst I went to the car for wipes etc, it was so disgusting.

But then we realised it wasn't dog poo (gated playground) didn't smell bad enough for foxes, and to be honest was really soft - then dawned on me it was probably a child! Pulled down pants and shat in the playground, and mum hadn't cleaned it up!!

Must admit if my dog poos in the middle of a bush in the woods I may not crawl in and pick up, but bleurghhh, I could never have left my dog's or child's poo in such an open space.

YANBU - Anyone who can't bring themselves to clean up after a dog shouldn't own one.

What I used to walk my two great danes I used to have to take a couple of carrier bags with me for scooping purposes - it never bothered me, it was the only downside to having them

As the owner of a child using a wheelchair I would have NO DIFFICULTY in shooting the owners of dogs who allow their animals to shit on pavements and in playgrounds. And would happily shoot unaccompanied dogs (and urban foxes) allowed to roam free and do the same.

I suspect I may be a little OTT, and even that IABU - but I beg you to reserve your flaming of me until you have experiecned the effects of shit on wheelchair wheels and rim!

Mouse - My parents old great dane's trick was to could open the fridge and remove the sunday joint of meat! And if you can clear up after two then anyone can manage it - they do huuuge poos!

I must admit to pinning a sign to the tree outside my house threathening the owner of a dog that regularly craps by the tree at night, that I would follow them home and post it back to them. Seems to have stopped most of the time. Now if only I can do the same with the scrote who leaves a can of Special Brew in my hedge twice a week.. maybe he doesn't have a home though...

YANBU- I want to follow them home and take my pants off in their backyard.

cutekids · 23/10/2008 13:51

yanbu...on the first day of term,my dd1 walked through some dog poo and managed to somehow get it all over her new trousers....!

cutekids · 23/10/2008 13:52

with dog owner...not my dd1!!!!
(I am a dog owner myself too but always take a poo-bag with me.)

crokky · 23/10/2008 13:59

YANBU. I won't go to my local park because of this and the teenagers that leave broken glass all over the place.

I have a toddler and a baby and it is too much trouble going to the park with shit and glass everywhere. I've bought a slide for our garden and I also DRIVE to parks that have enclosed play areas.

cory · 23/10/2008 14:08

The one that always gets to me is the plastic dog poo bags with contents sitting peacefully on the path as I go for a stroll in my local park. Why anyone would go to the trouble of getting the stuff into the bag and then leave it sitting... it's a strange old world out there.

loobeylou · 23/10/2008 14:17

do any other areas have a problem with teenage morons putting fireworks in the dog poo bins and blowing all over the place the filth that HAS been put away properly??

lizziemun · 23/10/2008 14:20

YANBU

I hate with a passion the fact that i have to constantly remind dd1 to watch where she is walking to school (less then a 5min walk). This morning it was 4 times .

I can remember when i was a child went we were getting the street ready for the queens silver jubilee (yes i know i am very old) my dad bagged up all the dog poo and gave it back to the horrible old lady whose dog used to mess on the grass outside our houses .

wotulookinat · 23/10/2008 14:24

YANBU. I always clean up after my dog, but I think I am the only one on my estate who does. Our neighbour regularly lets his dog poo on our front garden. I used to leave it hoping he would pick it up, but now I kick it onto his driveway.
Picking up poo might be unglamourous, but it is part of dog-ownership.

nooOOOoonki · 23/10/2008 14:32

as a dog owner I would be the first to say YANBU at all... a bloke down our park got fined £50 and I couldn't help but smile as he told me!

upnorth · 23/10/2008 17:40

Not unreasonable at all

notsoseriousanymore · 23/10/2008 17:46

YANBU 100%

As a dog owner, and a new mum, I always pic k up after him (always did, BTW, not just since I had DS) but I have two buggies - my dog walking buggy and my 'town' buggy, because the chance of wheeling through dog crap is too great. As Notbignotclever rightly says, you go to pick up after you rdog and end up in dog crap because someone else hasn't.

It's really sad that a small number of dog owners spoil it for the rest of us.

SO, no, You are not unreasonable at all.
