I live on the Scottish East Coast, glorious. Spring day,I am driving home after walking my 2 Labs. thru Forestry Commision land,paid my 2 quid.to park. Enjoyed it and looking at countryside. get overtaken by people carrier going far too fast for our roads, they roll down the windows and throw out all their mcDonalds packaging which goes all over the road,I drive over cartons which ovioulsy burst, why cant they take it home?
get home, reading paper outside. A woman with 2 lurcher type dogs off lead,allows them to flush out a pregnant Roe deer, they get her down and proceed to tear her apart. Woamn oviously cant get dogs off, but luckily a passing farmer dispatches deer with a gun. He says, to think she came thru' all that hard winter just for this happen. Woman is said to be "very upset",excuse, its your bloody dogs who did this,, Not only am I so, so, cross, but so upset about the deer. Imagine if that had been a small child or a frail old lady with her little old, dog,

Oh thats so sad about the deer

as for the litter bugs, i would have noted down their reg number and reported them to the local council

JustAnotherManicMummy · 16/04/2010 13:29

YABU. They are not "the general public". They are two sets of stupid people.

Sorry posted to soon...

YANBU to be enraged by both incidents.

ChippingIn · 16/04/2010 13:31

Fallon - a disclaimer in your title would have been a good heads up.

traceybath · 16/04/2010 13:31

Yeap - some people are just horrid.

Poor deer.

We get people who stop along our rural lane, have a and then chuck their dirty magazine onto the lane. Delightful.

VinegarTits · 16/04/2010 13:33

TB thats is disgusting, some people are vile fuckwits

Tiredmumno1 · 16/04/2010 13:40

we were travelling along country lanes, when we came across a load of debris including big panes of now smashed glass, i had to get out and move as much as i could. it just looked as if someone had opened the back doors to a van and kicked the lot out onto the road, is was everywhere, i think its bloody awful.

traceybath · 16/04/2010 13:45

It is vile VB - sometimes I'll drive along at 3pm and see someone clearly getting a BJ in their car.

I slow down and pretend to take down their registration number.

The penalties of not being far away from a notorious dogging car-park.

traceybath · 16/04/2010 13:46

VB - I meant VT or are you actually Vicki Beckham

Mouseface · 16/04/2010 14:02

Fallon8 - bad title for your thread, as we are all the "general pubic" to somebody else.

YANBU to totally shocked and upset by what you saw.

fallon8 · 16/04/2010 14:09

chipping in,,tell me what you me to say,I'll change it.Im just bloody cross,forget I said the general public bit, if thats causing the problem.just be bloody cross with me against these indiviuals Ive come across today and as for the other posts on here since, really im reeling, i just cant beleive it You know, the older I get, the more i cant stop being amazed at folk, i suppose its because I wouldnt do something myself, I assume nobody else would either.
That car was going way too fast, about 60mph on narrow roads adn then trying to get round the bends,undercutting on the dual carriage way. and then, and then....... topless beamer outside TKMAx,black, with local football logo all over it, WAG in the back, parked in the disabled bit, what is it about Fridays? perhaps i shouldnt go out or read the local paper.

I'm the same re "the older I get". I just seem to be less tolorant towards utter no brained idiots who insist on making some folks lives a misery.

We have one of our neighbours' (we don't really talk to them) extended family members park across our driveway on a regular basis.

Last night it happened again. Queue Mrs Knickers In A Twist marching to the front door to telling them to move or they will be removed! It's just bloody rude! We have a sign saying no parking on pain of death access required at all times because DS is disabled and has 24hr open access to the hospital. And they know this!!!!

Drives me nuts

ChippingIn · 16/04/2010 14:27

fallon - not having a go at you honest and I am with you against these others. I just don't expect to read about animal cruelty when I open a post on MN if there's no disclaimer in the title. It just made me feel quite sick.

fallon8 · 16/04/2010 16:22

chipping in I hadnt thought of that, i do aplogise..
I felt like doing an an Ellin Woods with my one of my clubs to the car, but refrained,it would be me who was. wuz nicked. She is getting off with £200 million, at least she can be miserable in comfort,,,its the humilation I couldnt bear.
As for the lady who pretends to write down the car numbers, do you know, i would it for real and complain.
Going back to deer,if that had been my late FIL, he would have shot woman and dogs and not given it a second thought!
I wont sy anymore now ,but I was as mad as a wet hen.

so sad about the deer, nobody gives a shit these days, people are so fucking thick,careless and self centred

RunawayWife · 16/04/2010 18:00

Sadly the type of vermin people you came across today are getting more and more common

So very sad about the deer.
Shame the farmer did not shot the bloody dogs, in his shoes I would have been tempted.

boomm · 16/04/2010 18:14

some people just don't care about the state of our countryside, litter is vile, esp if they were in the car where it could be stored & taken home...... no brains !!

MrsPixie · 16/04/2010 18:18

Oh God the deer story is horrific

muminthemiddle · 16/04/2010 20:19

YANBU
Agree with everyone else. I cannot stand either litter bugs or people who let their dogs run riot. Pity the farmer didn't shoot the woman too.

LetThereBeRock · 16/04/2010 20:22

It wasn't the dog's fault Runaway.They're sighthounds and were bred to chase and kill animals. It was entirely the owner's fault.

ben10isgr8 · 16/04/2010 23:51

I am not surprised you were angry.

Driving dangerously down roads and throwing litter hack me off too. Some people just don't think about their impact on other people/wildlife/environment.

We had a similar horrible story recently with deer being killed by "hunting" dogs, Huskies in this case, being allowed to run off lead in a local beauty spot. Dangerous for other pets, wildlife and families. Once they have a scent It would be impossible to stop the dogs.

Here is the link if you are interested in reading it...though I am guessing not
