A bit of both

First off a vent about the person that keeps letting their dog poo outside my house and doesn't pick it up...Rah!

And now some praise for the person who picked it up when I stuck a flag in it that said "Thanks!"

.... yeah I know that sounds weird..I'm not in the habit of playing with poo..it was a bit of masking tape stuck to a a wooden kebab skewer and I didn't need to touch it at all because it had been there for days and was sun-dried.
Sorry if that's TMI and I ruined your salad/pizza/whatever.:cheesy:

We got sick of this too and after we investigated we found out whos dog was doing this, so we collected the samples in a bucket (using shovel) over a few days and their was a lot as he has a very large dog, then one night we went along to his house emptied the bucket outside his gate with a note on a stick saying please have this lot back. we did this about 3 times in a 2 week period and now we never see him with his dogs walking down the path running past out house, so i assume he knows it must have been someone where he walked his dogs.

I'm a dog-owner and I find it equally revolting that people don't clear up after their mutts. There is absolutely no excuse.

I would hate to think of anyone treading in muck left behind by one of my dogs just as much as I would hate to tread in random dog mess myself.

The ones I really struggle to comprehend, though, are the nut-jobs who bag up the poo and then tie the bag to a tree like some foul sort of sacrifice to a hedgerow sh1te-sprite. Why? WHY?!? :mad:

worse when they just drop it on the floor directly below a litter bin, or as you say dont clear it up.

Its not if poo bags are expensive

wilkos, poundland and many more sell these at £1 for a min 100 bags

Yep, I know exactly what you mean about the plastic-wrapped poo. I assume it's for the benefit of onlookers as they don't want people to know they're the dirtbags that they are.

After several months and some intensive gardening, I discovered that some cooter had been plastic-wrapping their dog poo and slinging the bags into my back garden.. about twelve bags worth.
The garden has an alleyway running alongside it and isn't as overlooked, unlike the green outside my house...which kids play on, and I wince at.

If I ever catch the person leaving it, they'd better be able to run. Because I'd love the chance to make a dirty protest of my own, um.. not like that.

I'm also amused that Earthstorm felt it necessary to (similarly) point this out. :cheesy:

To anyone looking at my avatar and wondering "But Ms Bree.. you have a cat, how can you complain about animals fouling on property that isn't theirs?" I would say this.. "dead cats don't poop".

But did the cat poop before it died...?

I've told this story on here many times, but I caught my repeat offender on CCTV. Collared him a few days later and insisted he return to clean my front garden (which he did). He now crosses over rather than walk past my house

No.. we had him hermetically sealed.




I'm lying. :cheesy: Yes he did.. in my garden, because I didn't own him or feed him.. it's kind of a weird way to make friends.

Pulliptears..someday my day will come!

I saw someone bag their dog's poop and then drop it down a drain!

Many moons ago when I was still at school, a chum's parents were sick of their neighbour's dog sh1tting ootside their house, so they collected it and then dumped it on the roof of the offending owners' car and stuck one of those little flags you used to be able to buy for making sandcastles in the pile of sh1te. It was a Union Jack I seem to recall.

The dog never fouled the footpath again.
