Just spent 30 minutes out side in the freezing darkness scraping dog shit of the buggy wheels AGAIN.

Third time this week.

I have now graduated from planning to make little pirate flags to stick in rogue poos (it amused me anyway) to undergoing rigorous ninja training so that I can seek out the recalcitrant owners in the dark before the dawn and administer some broken limbs and harsh name calling.

Thoughts?

ah me too now!

I think the dog poo police should have powers to track down owners and make them EAT it. They would only ever let their dogs do it once.

My mum once caught a dog owner putting her dog over our front fence so that the dog could sh*t in our garden!! Now I've been on the end of my mum's stern look, and it still makes my knees shake, so I'd hate to have been in that dog owner's shoes!!!

prettybutterfly · 09/12/2008 22:25

seriously??

I would go mental...!!

Hassled · 09/12/2008 22:30

CrackopentheBaileys - fox poo is much blacker and usually seems to be of a smaller diameter than dog poo. Obviously girth of poo would depend on the type of dog, and presumably the size of fox.

I'll get my coat.

CrackopentheBaileys · 09/12/2008 22:33

well thank you hassled, perhaps someone should make a book of various animal excrements so people have to wonder no more....lol

and while we are on the subject whatever happened to white dog poo??

"I think the dog poo police should have powers to track down owners and make them EAT it"

Wuss. The only thing that these people understand is zero tolerance.

Which is why I propose the MN ATVG (Anti-Turd Vigilante Group) all hunt down the offending dog owners and make them kill and eat their stinking mutts at knifepoint.

It may seem harsh, but it's the only way. And after they've been forced to barbecue little Scrappy's leg, and choke down a few bites, there'll be a lot less shit on the streets. Lots more tears, snot and blood, but they don't stick inbetween buggy wheels as much.

I'll join. Its everywhere. You try 2 wheelchairs avoiding the stuff. I used to like dogs but feel an irrational hatred when I see anyone with a dog. Reckon they should be banned from the streets.

Hassled · 09/12/2008 22:42

Crackopenthe Baileys - Thanks to you I have in fact just gone to crack open the Baileys. And jolly nice it is too - will take my mind off dog shit diameters

OptimistS · 09/12/2008 22:55

Oooh, I'll join.

I am a life-long dog lover and owner. I ALWAYS pick up after my dog. I went on holiday recently (with the dog) and had to leave her tied up because none of the beaches allowed dogs on them anymore. I guarantee no one would have minded my dog. She is a large labrador, but she has impeccable manners, is incredibly gentle, and had been well trained so that she does not bother anyone and I always pick up after her. This is not because she is a miracle dog (though she is IMO) but because I have bothered to take dog ownership seriously. If all dog owners did the same, we would have no unruly dogs, no dog poo to pick up, hardly any incidents of dog bites and people would generally be more tolerant towards dogs. I hate bad dog owners. They give the rest of us a bad name and make it increasingly difficult to integrate dogs well into society.

tessofthedurbervilles · 10/12/2008 09:27

As I have picked up some awful 'presents' from my dog I would like those dog owners that don't to be shamed.....picking up is not nice but it is a necessary part of dog owning...

PingpingsatonSantasface · 10/12/2008 09:30

I am in. We used to live next to some lady who let her dog poo outside my gate so at night time you were gureented to stand in dog shit. GRRR

gabygirl · 10/12/2008 09:32

OptimistS - I am same with my lab. I take loads of bags out with me and even try to scrape up the little drippy bits that are left when you pick up the big turds.

Thinking of doing a laminated poster to stick outside my son's nursery. Some fuckwit lets his/her dog shit outside the nursery gate EVERY DAY so that the children walk in it as they're coming in and out. Bastard.

edam · 10/12/2008 09:35

one of my neighbours got her kids to make a notice. 'Dear dog who poos in our garden - please ask your owner to pick up your poo. It smells horrid.'

I never noticed any dog shit on their lawn after that. Good for them!

chocolatedot · 10/12/2008 09:58

Just pass me the balaclava. We overlook a small park which is rendered unusable by the mountains of dog poo.

MerryChristmasPANDAGHappy09 · 10/12/2008 10:04

edam you post has made me laugh out loud.

Pass me a balaclava too, it really riles me.

Dibsie · 10/12/2008 10:37

You are not being unreasonable at all in my opinion.
I'm fed up with running the gauntlet of dog poo in our village. I have a little dog and religiously pick up after him (I've even got one of those Poopod things that were on dragons den!) but there are some in our village that don't clear up. The worst place is a grass area right by a dog poo bin!

Gorionine · 10/12/2008 10:55

YANBU and I am pretty sure that for the first time in AIBU history, you won't find a soul to think you are.

MrsMerryHenry · 10/12/2008 11:41

Edam, I think you've got something there...I might just make some of those myself and post them on the trees in my street - it's been virtually baptised in the stuff this week .

TsarHumbug · 10/12/2008 11:51

Count me in

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 10/12/2008 11:57

You need to see them in the act, follow them home then squat down and do a big poo on their drive. See how they like it!

StretchmarkSantaClaws · 10/12/2008 12:03

So, where DID the white dog shit go?? Hey??!!

CrackopentheBaileys · 10/12/2008 12:17

dunno stretch, I was hoping someone would know but they're all too busy plotting their 'shitty' revenge.....

purpleduck · 10/12/2008 12:25

CrackopentheBaileys

There already is one such book
Can't find a link tho. Its about a dog that got crapped on and every animal he goes to says "nope, not mine, I do mine like THIS!".
Very funny!

Is the costume going to have a steaming poo on the front?

To op, try boiling water on the buggy wheels...

CrackopentheBaileys · 10/12/2008 12:32

Ha that book sounds great, I want one!

Vigilante group should be called 'pooper scooper troupers'

hehe
