to want to do awful things to the person who let their dog do a poo right by my driveway

[emkana]

so that of course ds stepped into it this morning

It is infuriating.
YANBU.
I farking hate dog shit lying on pavements.

You could keep your fingers crossed that THEY would slip over in it the next time they pass and end up sitting in it - that would be a reasonable outcome in my book!

I remember picking up no1 son from school one day, only to be handed his coat in a black binbag. Apparently he'd stepped in dog poo and it had transfered onto the inside of his coat when they had to sit on their coats in the hall first thing in the morning, so he'd been without his coat all day. Worse still, it was a waxed cotton coat, so once I'd finally managed to get all the dog poo and the dog poo stink out, I still had to rewax it. I was not a happy bunny.

To be fair, it's the minority of irresponsible dog owners who do this, and the majority of responsible ones are as sick about this as the rest of us non-dog owners are, I suspect. Picking up dog poo and carrying round those little bags is a thought that makes me sick to my stomach, and is one big reason why I'd have to think long and hard about getting a dog.

Our daily trek to school is full of me shouting, "careful" and "watch that muck"!! It's really disgusting. Infact one alleyway is called by the local kids, 'dog shit alley' I wonder why?? There are always fresh steaming mounds first thing in the morning. Fantastic...

Putting it through the culprit's letterbox would be totally justified imo, with the obvious exception of those physically unable to pick it up though!

Once nearly caughty someone letting their dog crap by our entrance. They just moved their dog as I was arriving. Really stupid thoughtless people.

Well the minotity is "rotting" my school run. I walk a mile with three walking DC + 1 in a puchchair n spite of all our efforts trying to dodge the crap one of us always gets it. If they can't clean after their dog they could at least make sure it is not all over the pavement.

Once thought about emptying a dirty nappy in front of someone I know is one of my "morning rotters", never had the ghuts to do it. Pity!

In front of their house that is

I just think it's indicitive of a nasty 'don't care about anyone or anything' attitude that seems so prevalent at the moment.

All this talk about a growing 'underclass' is right but I think it has jack all to do with income. It's about rude, nasty arrogant ignorant people who don't give a damn about anything other than their own pleasure and convenience. Letting their dogs shit on the path, swearing at people in the street, dropping litter and parking wherever they bloody feel like it.

When I rule the world, they'll be first against the wall!

It's happened to me too.
Just keep hoping they slip in a really good disgusting amount one day soon when their dog pulls them along suddenly!

I once got caught, to my absolute mortification, without a bag when Girldog went on the grass right next to a footpath. Both dogs had been twice already, so I had used four bags, and a thorough search of all pockets and bag revealed I was completely out. This was completely unprecedented, as I always have a huge supply of nappy bags in all of my pockets, bags, the pram, the BushBaby, but that day there was nothing. So, I used my initiative and scraped it up with a clean nappy...Yuck, yuck, yuck!

you try narrow pavements and wheelchairs. I have to reverse to a drop and travel along the road until I'm past the steaming pile. My chair weighs 10 stone and has thick treads so is a total batsard to clean.
I'm beginning to wish dogs weren'rt allowed out.

when we first moved there was a horrible old lady who would deliberately bring her dog onto our drive to poo exactly where anyone going in or out would step in it. Bag.

DH caught her at it, remonstrated, and she has HATED us ever since.

do you mean, years ago everybody used to pick up after their dogs? that's not how I remember the sixties and seventies. I think it's more that we expect more from people these days- and rightly so!

agree with needmorecoffee about the wheelchairs. it's vile! and dd pushes herself around in her own chair a lot, so ends up with a handful of shit
