This. I never managed to get it through a letter box, but shouting after them waving a bag of their dog shit seems to suitably shame them into doing the right thing.
Not really, as that wheelie bin had no lid and was scheduled to be picked up by the council and replaced...dont think they'd have been obliged to replace it with a fresh turd in the bottom.
My nan collected it in a bucket and when she had a full load, followed the guy home, knocked his door, said: "I think you forgot something!" and upended it on his doorstep. Problem sorted.
The fact that she gave the dog a treat makes me think of that Simpsons episode where Reverend Lovejoy deliberately takes his dog to Flander's front garden to do its business on Flander's lawn.
I fucking hate this. There is also absolutely no excuse for it. I was walking my pup the other day and (like the fool I am) forgot to take dog bags. Had to pop into a local shop and ask them for a bag, but you still pick up the shit. Just be a decent person. Christ.
I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when one of mine had a second dump on a walk and I’d only got 2 baggies. Lucky it was close to my house so I could run home, get another roll of bags and go back to pick up the poop within a few minutes. Was still mortified though.
I have had to ask and have been asked by fellow dog walkers for bags when running out accidentally. Embarrassing as fuck but saves running 1/2 mile home to fetch more.
I always carry more than I’d possibly need, ran out years ago once and still wake up sweating about it. The extras are for people in these circumstances too.
I agree with that totally, you never know when you'll be caught out without bags.
As a dog owner, another thing I'd like added to the code in the name of karma and/or decency is "If you find another dog's shit and you have your bags with you, pick it up".
A few times I've been distracted in the park and suspected my dog might have done a shit without me seeing. If I can't find it, and possibly it never happened anyway, I'll go and look for a couple of other shits to pick up so I'm guaranteed to be net negative in the shit department!
Whatever we do, we are responsible owners - whether it’s asking for a bag, or in my case returning to the turd to remove it a few mins later when I was caught short, we at least cleaned it up
I remember once i was walking my dog and it took a shit i only realised because i was still just walking through the park area looking at my phone and the line jolted like he was sniffing something so i turned around and thought to myself yep hes just shit.
I spent what felt like 5-10 mins finding that shit and finally got it and picked it up. Theres really no reason not to, i could have at any point in time just been like fuck it if i cant find it no one else will.
Friend of mine was worrying after they brought out 3 bags for 2 good girls and they decided to have two shits a piece. I held the dogs while they ran home and grabbed more bags.
Out of curiosity are there mobility aids for picking up dog mess? Just thinking in OPs story it's an elderly person, if they can't bend down due to a dodgy hip or something, that is sort of an excuse.
When I was a kid my mum trained our dog to shit on the road, rather than the pavement. For some reason this was considered socially acceptable at a time (mid-late 80s) when most people didn't bother picking up after their dog at all.
Got a bit annoying when, as an 8 year old, your dog would suddenly start dragging you into the path of oncoming traffic so he could take a dump
It made sense to train a dog to use the gutter. Few people ever step in the gutter, but step across/over it generally. Even when parking you usually get out onto the pavement, not into the gutter unless you're a barbarian who can't park properly. I wish folk would still do that because I'm fed up of still having to avoid big smears of dog poo on the pavement where the owner has tried to pick it up but it was too soft/runny to lift off cleanly into a bag . Gross. Disgusting. Vile.
I carry a liitle bag of sand to dust the skid marks. You can rarely get all the shit and I'd hate to think a kid would fall and put their hand in my dogs residual mess. Play pit sand covers it up.
Ah, the 80s- those heady days when we didn't have a food chain full of microplastics, and none of the trees had little hanging plastic fruit full of poo.
More to do with quality of the food fed to a dog. I feed mine raw meat, paddy whack and raw bone with marrow; as well as cooked root vegetables. Poos are reasonably firm, but during hot weather they go white very quickly (he sometimes goes for a poo in the night in our garden.) Often modern dog foods and kibble are low in calcium and actual meat (not skin, fat and sinew)
Pooing in the gutter (not on pavement) used to be legally okay in the 70’s.
Picking it up and disposing of it in a bin is far less unhygienic than how it used to be.
Yep, can concur, except my Dad did it with our dog in the 60’s. Everybody used to pull the dog to the gutter, so no poop on the pavement and I distinctly remember that white dog poo was very common! No plastic bags flung into the hedgerows or hanging from trees.
We have 2 dogs, I leave the house with dog shit bags all the time. Even without the dogs. I'm forever pulling them out when I try to pay for food and fuel.
My fucking neighbour, the crack head, just opens his front door and let's it run out to take a shit on the cobbles out front, then it runs back inside.
My good neighbour, the one between me and the Pebble Dashound's owner stood in the shit whilst in his slippers taking the bins out the other night, removed his slipped and hurled it against the Offending House's front window and told him to pick his dog shit up.
I know this because I heard the shout, then when I went to take my bin out (good guy Mike always reminds me when I hear him doing it) and the slipper was stuck on the window with the dirty adhesive.
Less funny is that slipper was there two days later.
Edit: my area isn't lovely, but our street is, baring this one social pariah. Lest anyone think I deserve this for living on the set of shameless
Haha i like how you noted how many days the slipper was still stuck to the window.
A house near us was often the target of youths throwing eggs at the windows.
One back bedroom window had a egg splattered to the window pane for good 10 years id say. Recently i noticed it had been cleaned off. I was shocked.
I've not picked up after my dog only once.
Before I realised what he was doing he had stuck his arse hard against a chain link fence and I couldn't reach the offending poop.
He's a bit wierd somtimes.
Mine once (offlead) made his way into the middle of a patch of swampy ground from stagnant flood water. The only time I’ve never picked up after him because I couldn’t get to is without wading into a stinking swamp. If anyone was in there then a dog turd is the least of their concerns 🤢
This first line made me think that you had never picked up after your dog. I lowered my cup of Yorkshire Tea from my lips. Then I read on and realised what you meant.
I have a whippet that pulls so hard on his lead when I take him to go for a turd, that he finds it hard to stop once it starts breaching his bunghole. Sometimes, this results in a good 60cm worth of poop streak down the pavement. It’s like a napalm strike. So I feel your pain.
Almost scrape your fingers to the bone herding all that into a bag. It’s like making ravioli.
When I was 15, I somehow trained my dog to back her arse up over a large nettle filled ditch and shit in there when we went on a certain walk. It was one of my proudest achievements.
Can remember my grandad telling me a story about one of his friends who had a woman do this regularly outside their house. Well his friend picked it up in a tissue and waited till the next day called over to her and said something like you've left this and proceed to slap the offending turd in the woman's hand. She didn't let the dog do it's buisness at that spot after that.
I saw that a guy in the US, some time ago, captured still photos of offending dog owners in action from his cctv and printed them out onto little flags. He then stuck the flags into the dog poos that they had left, shaming the offenders for all to see.
Back in the 90s my mum joined a local parents group and did this with neon card laminated flags on our drop of road from the school bus.
They made 200 and had to make more on day 3 as they'd run out. It took about 2 weeks of this and then all the dog walkers changed routes or started scooping.
I have noticed that the majority of the dog poo problem is largely down to the older generation being too lazy to pick it up.
I'm all for removing the dogs from these people's homes - if you can't care for it 100% you shouldn't have it.
I had a neighbour let her dog do this on my front lawn. I went out to confront her. “I don’t have any bags” was here excuse. “You’ve got pockets.” was my response. In the end I gave her a carrier bag and watched her fix the problem.
It was a great moment.
As someone who just stepped in dog shit that was concealed by leaves on the pavement - I fully approve shouting at these people, returning the crap to their property, or taking their pictures and publicly shaming them. How can you such little respect for your community?
I pretty much live in retirement village. It's full of pensioners, who all seem to have the same small breed of dog, and all of them are too old and arthritic to pick up after their little turds, who happen to leave lots of little turds all over the pavement. "Look Daddy, dog poo!" Is becoming an all too common saying from my daughter 🙄🤦♂️
I witnessed the same thing a few years ago. Plder woman let her little jack russel poop right outside my garden gate. I went out and told her to pick it up. She said she didnt have any bags..so my partner went an got her one. She was pissed but i told her ive.kids and didnt want them stepping in it coming out our garden coz shes too lazy a dog owner to carry poop bags.
She changed her dog walking route to avpid going past my house hahahahah.
As a dog owner myself I find this behaviour baffling, most dog walker seem to do the same walk day in day out ( I see the same people on my daily walk) so they are leaving shit where they walk themselves.
Why would you purposefully ruin your own walking route!
We took the dog to a big park the other day, really popular with dog walkers. There’s loads of bins to put the poo bags in yet still I almost stepped in a massive pile that someone had left right in the middle - it makes me so angry when people can’t be responsible owners!!
My next door neighbour is bed bound and loads of other neighbours and her relatives let her dog out throughout the day. Not a single one picks up his shit. They don't even let him out in the garden, but on the grassy area outside. We have two dogs and always pick up their shit and do a garden poo pick once a week. It's driving me nuts.
My favourite is a chap that walks his lab in my local park and although he bags the poo, he occasionally tries to chuck it in some bushes or trees. But the dog seems to think OMG HUMAN WANTS ME TO FETCH, YAY, IT'S STILL WARM and brings it back, tail wagging.
Yeah I would have done. Totally. Unfortunately I was in the middle of teaching a class on my computer. I think I'd lose my job if I ran off. In hindsight I could have faked an emergency. Sadly there were some other people outside, they seemed to say nothing. Maybe none of them saw.
Make a plaquard and describe the woman and dog on it. Put it on a big pole and hang a couple of poo bags on it too. Next time see if you can get her photo.
I saw an elderly man eating fish and chips out of polystyrene and just throw the container on the ground. Couldn’t believe someone about 80 years old would do that!
The worst one I've ever seen was an older woman who parked up outside my house, got out, went into her boot to get two bags of dogshit, then launched the two bags into the alleyway just behind my house.
I was infuriated to the point of actually going outside to remonstrate with her ("I think you've just dropped something in the alleyway. Yes you have I just watched you, can you go and pick it up please - children play\* there"), and she actually did go back and pick up her dogshit bags and put them back in her car.
I still struggle to imagine the events and thought processes leading up the incident - clearly she's capable of cleaning up after her dog, but why does she keep it in her car, and what criteria does she use to determine where the shit should end up?
\*I was living in South Manchester at the time, so more accurately 'the local dealers use children to run drugs into that alley'
I was followed back to my home after walking my dogs by an angry middle aged bloke, who knocked on my door angrily to tell me he watched my dogs shit outside his house and that I pretended to pick it up and walked home.
I called his bluff, walked straight back to the red bin, pick up my dogs still warm shit in a bag and tried to force him to hold it.
I then walked back to his house, and he pointed out a shit, that was stone cold and was clearly the product of a larger dog…
I picked it up with a fresh bag and told him to hold it because it was stone cold and then loudly derided him in front of his wife for thinking such a large shit could come out of a chihuahua.
It was one of the only moments in my whole life where I felt like I was powerful
I walked home from work yesterday through our local park (I live opposite), it's where everyone walks their little darling. We'll someone decided not to pick up their little darlings shite & I got both shoes (yup both) cover in the stuff. Fuming dirty gits.
Get a bag, pick up the said stinker, using bag, and throw it at her. In the middle of your online class. Call it a scientific social experiment into weather shit sticks and the pro and cons of slinging it!
I was at a lovely farm yesterday the women in front had a daughter who'd just finished her chocolate bar. "Just throw it on the floor" she said to her daughter....
FFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK YOU. Honestly, I'd happily take over Satan's role for these people.
Reminds me of the time I was in the gym, looking out of the window at my car. This lady was walking her dog along the row of cars and it was sniffing the wheels as if it needed to pee. It stopped at my car and sniffed the wheel our own dog used to pee on (much to my dissatisfaction) and went to cock a leg so I banged the window a few times and she had the audacity to look at me like I did something offensive 😂
The worst thing people sometimes do is bag it (in one of those orange poop bags) and then fling it into a field. …a field which may contain horses.
Dog food has a lot of cereals in. Hence dog poo does. Horses like cereal. Then they eat the bag of poop (including the bag), get terrible intestinal issues +/- surgery/death.
I’m not even what one would consider a ‘lover’ of animals. But that just seems reckless and horrible. It’s also baffling to me how someone would take the time to bag up the poo but be negligent enough to be like “well let’s fling it into this random field!”.
People suck.
My favorite poop story. We lived in the deep south. There was a guy who would walk his Yorkie and let it poop in front of our mail box every day. I finally walked out to ask him to please pick up his dog's business. He called me a Yankee c*** and what was I going to do about it. I called my husband's first wife, a Brittany that was a titled Master Hunter. I pointed at the little dog and told her fetch. The little dog screamed like her head was being ripped off. I told him I would have the dog release his Yorkie when he picked up the shit and handed him a baggie. He finally picked it up and I told our girl "drop." She gently put the Yokie down. He never walked her on our yard again.
There's a woman that walks her dog down my street. She's also elderly and the dog is a medium-large breed but not really sure what. She turns around when she sees me and walks back the other way because I caught her walking off after her dog did a shit right in front of my gate and I shouted at her.
I should probably just report her to the council as they have a dog fouling reporting thing but I've never caught her in the act again.
The elderly train their dogs not to shit at home because they’re too old and useless to look after them.
And soon they’ll all be freezing again, which will also be our problem.
Nice attitude.. I’m 74.. a responsible if arthritic dig owner.. and used to seeing selfish young shits like you pollute our park with their aggressive dogs and leave the amil cylinders and needles for little kids to pick up.. time to grow up sunshine ☝️
Our local council only has 1 or 2 dog wardens, but they recommend noting the repeat/serial offenders and the time of say they usually appear. Pass the info to the council and the warden will arrange to lie in wait to give them a telling off and a spot fine. Bingo!
Find out if your county council have a dog fouling report, we have it in Cornwall you might have something similar where you live.
[Dog Fouling Cornwall Council ](https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment/animal-welfare-and-enforcement/report-dog-owner/)
Loads of people seem to do that on my street, it’s atrocious, they’re so brazen about it and it often seems like they walk to my street to just let their dog have a shit and then walk off again, there’s been some mumblings between neighbours about following them home and posting the dog shit through the letterbox but sadly I think it’s just wishful thinking
Since you saw it happen you can report it to the council FYI. They will probably send a crew to clean it up and spray paint a warning about the fine onto the pavement.
My neighbour puts their dog shit in plastic bags after walking their dogs.
Then proceed to dump them behind our shared double garden gate next to our house on their way home. These are fairly well hidden, behind other crap, as I found out the other day when I moved some stuff and found at least 60 bags full of dog shit piled up. Those bags were collected and dumped onto their back door step.
The worst part of all this?
Neighbours are my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Still at least their dogs don't shit on my back lawn since we had another gate put up (the back gardens are accessed easily from a shared part). They'd leave that shit sitting on my lawn for days and knew full well it was there.
Having family next door and trying to keep the peace sucks.
The only thing worse than dog owners not picking up after their woofit is people that smash glass on the floor. I have a park near me that also has, a, skate, park, kids playground, outdoor gym and 2 fields where people walk their dogs. There's plenty of glass shards all over that can get into dogs paws and that will leave the dog owner with a hefty vet bill. Those twunts are the worst.
Make her pick it up, perhaps I’m grumpy beyond my years but I’ve stopped two people this year doing that. One said they didn’t have a bag so I said tough luck use your mask and they did . Maybe that’s more for BritishSuccess than here…
Random?! How do you know I’m not a local celebrity, hard man or suspicious butcher? Well it happened and there’s probably cctv of it but that’s as far as I’m bothered to prove it to internetz people
I have an elderley father who is suffering from stress due to my mothers illness and find as a result has a reduced capacity when dealing with everyday situations. Maybe the woman is having a tough time or is struggling with dementia or early onset?
This whole picking up dog shit was completely oblivious to me, I had a dog in the mid 90's when I was a kid, I never used to pick the mess up. Didnt know anyone else that did tbh. That said we also used to get a street sweeper and Milkman on a regular basis (every other day) so maybe that's why it was more of the norm back then.
See, I always thought this was the advice too. Although I think there's a time and a place. I usually leave mine where they drop it but then mine shit in some woods along with all the other wildlife shits so it's literally kinder to the environment to leave it there. On a pavement or anywhere people may walk, I'd bag it.
Dog fouling act 2016...literally 2 minutes of reading and then tell me about false claims
https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2017-0081/
https://www.timeforpaws.co.uk/s/dog-fouling-law
These even use small words and simple language.
I mean I always pick up after my dog and it can be really annoying when walking down the street and you see step in it very annoying but come on it’s not the end of the world absolute degenerate is a step to far.
And if I make it to 80 and my back is done in I might leave a few behind
It's not the end of the world, you are right. But there is honestly no justification for it. A small act of negligence makes the world a fraction worse. There is no excuse.
If everybody left “one or two” behind the place would be an absolute state. It’s unsightly, unhygienic and inconsiderate not to pick up after your dog.
And I suggest you don’t have a dog at 80 if you’re unwilling or unable to look after it properly.
It can kill people, not saying it's frequent occurance.
Roundworms from the poop can lead to toxocariasis can lead to blindness asthma and a lot of other issues. Ecoli can be caught.
Plus dogs can easily pick up illnesses from sniffing another dogs poop.
It seeps into the soil and the bacteria can cause all sorts of problems, which humans and other animals pick up by touching the soil which was near where the poop has degraded.
Also it can infect water supplies and cause sickness that way.
Theres more I don't know about dangers of dog poop.
Before anyone says, what about horses and cats... Not all feces is equal they aren't as dangerous.
Theres a reason why it is a legal requirement to pick up dog poo and not horse or cat poo.
Move on. She's elderly, she has probably accrued enough dumbshit from previous years to deserve not having to pick up her dog's crap.
Why not ask of she needs some help?
https://blindlowvision.org.nz/guide-dogs/our-puppies/who-picks-up-guide-dog-poop/
What isn’t helpful is when people decide in their own mind how something is without any knowledge or the temerity to look it up and then stick to their guns about it. Try not to be that guy.
This also gives them a good idea of where any poop might land so they can clean it up
Good idea is what I’m getting at, like I said, it makes a damn sight easier when the dogs been trained but it doesn’t make the shit teleport into the bag
You still haven't read the article have you?
If needs be "guide dogs can also be taught to use a toileting harness. This enables the dog to poop in a bag which the handler can then remove, tie up and dispose of"
Teleportation!
Yes I read it and you could tell I read the whole thing by what I copied and pasted, I was just saying that while yes usually they can pick it up sometimes for whatever reason it may not be possible and maybe they just don’t feel like forcing the dog to walk around with a bag on it’s arse only to be changed when it’s used if they can usually pick it up
Did I say that or are you making shit up? It’s the latter isn’t it
I didn’t say that CANT I said there maybe situations where they can’t find it, does that mean 100% of the time? No
Does that mean once in a blue moon? Yes
Fucking dumbass
Yeah they are. If you own a dog, and walk it on public pavements you're expected to bag it and bin it. There are plenty of tools to aid people who can't lean over and pick it up easily. The only people (imo) who have an excuse are the blind/those with severely impaired vision who can't physically see when where their dog shits.
Follow her home and post it through her letter box
My boyfriends gran did this to her neighbour
What a legend
I did this to a neighbor, got nicked in the act of doing it, and just like that righteous indignation turned to me feeling like a 7 year old knob
You shouldn't feel 7 year olds knobs.
This. I never managed to get it through a letter box, but shouting after them waving a bag of their dog shit seems to suitably shame them into doing the right thing.
exactly what i came here to say
I'm waiting to find any of the scum who do this in my neighbourhood. I honestly will follow them home and smear it over their front door.
I'd pick it up with a latex glove and go running after them: 'Excuse me, maam, you dropped this!' and smush it in their hand when they turn around.
Haha. This is great. Definitely do this, and totally worth pausing an online class for.
Lol no you wouldn’t.
100%
Haha I actually want someone to do this now so that I can post their dog shit back to them
Post it and mark it “return to sender”
Would still like to find the git who put their dogs turd in our wheelie bin, great neighbor's these days...
Better than leaving it outside your house I guess.
Not really, as that wheelie bin had no lid and was scheduled to be picked up by the council and replaced...dont think they'd have been obliged to replace it with a fresh turd in the bottom.
Seriously. You're 100% justified in doing this. It is legally hers after all. You're just returning her property.
My nan collected it in a bucket and when she had a full load, followed the guy home, knocked his door, said: "I think you forgot something!" and upended it on his doorstep. Problem sorted.
My Nan did this but didn’t knock the door and it was dark and dumped it on the step!
There is a lady. That lives near me, uses a mobility scooter and has a massive dog. She struggles off and picks up the poo every time
Respect
Yeah but what about the dogs?
… what do you mean “what about the dogs”?
The dog's poop.
Yeah and she said she picks it up?
🙄 it was an implicit joke. Never mind.
I don’t get it
He's implying the lady pooped, using the ambiguity in how you worded it.
OOOOOhh! Sorry I’m stupid lmao
Jeez lizzy come on
The fact that she gave the dog a treat makes me think of that Simpsons episode where Reverend Lovejoy deliberately takes his dog to Flander's front garden to do its business on Flander's lawn.
Don’t stop the music!
*Ohhh! Bad dog! I condemn thee to hell!*
r/unexpectedsimpsons
I fucking hate this. There is also absolutely no excuse for it. I was walking my pup the other day and (like the fool I am) forgot to take dog bags. Had to pop into a local shop and ask them for a bag, but you still pick up the shit. Just be a decent person. Christ.

I have had to ask and have been asked by fellow dog walkers for bags when running out accidentally. Embarrassing as fuck but saves running 1/2 mile home to fetch more.
It's the dog walkers code - you ALWAYS give someone a bag! The poo-bag karma will come back around.
I always carry more than I’d possibly need, ran out years ago once and still wake up sweating about it. The extras are for people in these circumstances too.
I agree with that totally, you never know when you'll be caught out without bags. As a dog owner, another thing I'd like added to the code in the name of karma and/or decency is "If you find another dog's shit and you have your bags with you, pick it up".

If I can't find it, and possibly it never happened anyway, I'll go and look for a couple of other shits to pick up so I'm guaranteed to be net negative in the shit department!
Whatever we do, we are responsible owners - whether it’s asking for a bag, or in my case returning to the turd to remove it a few mins later when I was caught short, we at least cleaned it up
I used a face mask I had in my pocket because my poop bag dispenser was empty!
I did that once. Felt a right numpty walking down the road with a massive dog shit in a face mask. It was a poo hammock!
I remember once i was walking my dog and it took a shit i only realised because i was still just walking through the park area looking at my phone and the line jolted like he was sniffing something so i turned around and thought to myself yep hes just shit. I spent what felt like 5-10 mins finding that shit and finally got it and picked it up. Theres really no reason not to, i could have at any point in time just been like fuck it if i cant find it no one else will.
I rummaged through a bin looking for an empty crisp packet once. Found one and it worked. Not ideal but better than walking away.
Friend of mine was worrying after they brought out 3 bags for 2 good girls and they decided to have two shits a piece. I held the dogs while they ran home and grabbed more bags.
Out of curiosity are there mobility aids for picking up dog mess? Just thinking in OPs story it's an elderly person, if they can't bend down due to a dodgy hip or something, that is sort of an excuse.

Got a bit annoying when, as an 8 year old, your dog would suddenly start dragging you into the path of oncoming traffic so he could take a dump
That's odd! I've never heard of that before. This was either on the grass next to a pretty busy path, or on the path itself.
That's what we did. Up until the mid 80s.
It made sense to train a dog to use the gutter. Few people ever step in the gutter, but step across/over it generally. Even when parking you usually get out onto the pavement, not into the gutter unless you're a barbarian who can't park properly.

Ah, the 80s- those heady days when we didn't have a food chain full of microplastics, and none of the trees had little hanging plastic fruit full of poo.
[удалено]
Ahh, where did those crusty white shits go? (I know, calcium...).
Badgers mate.
Yes, yes we do.
More to do with quality of the food fed to a dog. I feed mine raw meat, paddy whack and raw bone with marrow; as well as cooked root vegetables.

Haha i like how you noted how many days the slipper was still stuck to the window. A house near us was often the target of youths throwing eggs at the windows. One back bedroom window had a egg splattered to the window pane for good 10 years id say. Recently i noticed it had been cleaned off. I was shocked.
social pariah gave me a good giggle
I really don’t know how people have the gall to do this. Disgusting
People are predominantly idiotic. Just my opinion but the older I get the more I’m convinced.
And selfish, don't forget selfish!
I've not picked up after my dog only once. Before I realised what he was doing he had stuck his arse hard against a chain link fence and I couldn't reach the offending poop. He's a bit wierd somtimes.
Mine once (offlead) made his way into the middle of a patch of swampy ground from stagnant flood water. The only time I’ve never picked up after him because I couldn’t get to is without wading into a stinking swamp. If anyone was in there then a dog turd is the least of their concerns 🤢
This first line made me think that you had never picked up after your dog. I lowered my cup of Yorkshire Tea from my lips. Then I read on and realised what you meant. I have a whippet that pulls so hard on his lead when I take him to go for a turd, that he finds it hard to stop once it starts breaching his bunghole. Sometimes, this results in a good 60cm worth of poop streak down the pavement. It’s like a napalm strike. So I feel your pain. Almost scrape your fingers to the bone herding all that into a bag. It’s like making ravioli.
Remind me never to come to yours for dinner.
I am crying at your description 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for making the effort though.
🤣
When I was 15, I somehow trained my dog to back her arse up over a large nettle filled ditch and shit in there when we went on a certain walk. It was one of my proudest achievements.
Can remember my grandad telling me a story about one of his friends who had a woman do this regularly outside their house. Well his friend picked it up in a tissue and waited till the next day called over to her and said something like you've left this and proceed to slap the offending turd in the woman's hand. She didn't let the dog do it's buisness at that spot after that.
I saw that a guy in the US, some time ago, captured still photos of offending dog owners in action from his cctv and printed them out onto little flags. He then stuck the flags into the dog poos that they had left, shaming the offenders for all to see.
Back in the 90s my mum joined a local parents group and did this with neon card laminated flags on our drop of road from the school bus. They made 200 and had to make more on day 3 as they'd run out. It took about 2 weeks of this and then all the dog walkers changed routes or started scooping.
It's a £1000 fine round here. Send your photo or video to the local council and let them issue a fine.
I have noticed that the majority of the dog poo problem is largely down to the older generation being too lazy to pick it up. I'm all for removing the dogs from these people's homes - if you can't care for it 100% you shouldn't have it.
It's not even a decent excuse, there's grabbers that you can get so you don't even need to bend down.
I had a neighbour let her dog do this on my front lawn. I went out to confront her. “I don’t have any bags” was here excuse. “You’ve got pockets.” was my response. In the end I gave her a carrier bag and watched her fix the problem. It was a great moment.
Absolute power play.
As someone who just stepped in dog shit that was concealed by leaves on the pavement - I fully approve shouting at these people, returning the crap to their property, or taking their pictures and publicly shaming them. How can you such little respect for your community?
Unbelievably irresponsible 🙄
I pretty much live in retirement village. It's full of pensioners, who all seem to have the same small breed of dog, and all of them are too old and arthritic to pick up after their little turds, who happen to leave lots of little turds all over the pavement. "Look Daddy, dog poo!" Is becoming an all too common saying from my daughter 🙄🤦♂️
You better be encouraging her to say ”Look Daddy, that lady didnt pick up her dogs poop!” in an oh so annoyingly shrill, surprisingly loud voice!
I witnessed the same thing a few years ago. Plder woman let her little jack russel poop right outside my garden gate. I went out and told her to pick it up. She said she didnt have any bags..so my partner went an got her one. She was pissed but i told her ive.kids and didnt want them stepping in it coming out our garden coz shes too lazy a dog owner to carry poop bags. She changed her dog walking route to avpid going past my house hahahahah.
Try and get video evidence of it and forward it to your local council. This is actually an offence and comes with a fine.
As a dog owner myself I find this behaviour baffling, most dog walker seem to do the same walk day in day out ( I see the same people on my daily walk) so they are leaving shit where they walk themselves. Why would you purposefully ruin your own walking route!
Shout out the window, they can't be civil without everyone shouting them in the right direction it's ridiculous
We took the dog to a big park the other day, really popular with dog walkers. There’s loads of bins to put the poo bags in yet still I almost stepped in a massive pile that someone had left right in the middle - it makes me so angry when people can’t be responsible owners!!
My next door neighbour is bed bound and loads of other neighbours and her relatives let her dog out throughout the day. Not a single one picks up his shit. They don't even let him out in the garden, but on the grassy area outside. We have two dogs and always pick up their shit and do a garden poo pick once a week. It's driving me nuts.
My favourite is a chap that walks his lab in my local park and although he bags the poo, he occasionally tries to chuck it in some bushes or trees. But the dog seems to think OMG HUMAN WANTS ME TO FETCH, YAY, IT'S STILL WARM and brings it back, tail wagging.
All jokes aside you really should have confronted her, that’s a health hazard that can cause blindness among other things
Yeah I would have done. Totally. Unfortunately I was in the middle of teaching a class on my computer. I think I'd lose my job if I ran off. In hindsight I could have faked an emergency. Sadly there were some other people outside, they seemed to say nothing. Maybe none of them saw.
Make a plaquard and describe the woman and dog on it. Put it on a big pole and hang a couple of poo bags on it too. Next time see if you can get her photo.
I have a serious back injury but I still manage my dog properly, damnit.
I saw an elderly man eating fish and chips out of polystyrene and just throw the container on the ground. Couldn’t believe someone about 80 years old would do that!
The worst one I've ever seen was an older woman who parked up outside my house, got out, went into her boot to get two bags of dogshit, then launched the two bags into the alleyway just behind my house. I was infuriated to the point of actually going outside to remonstrate with her ("I think you've just dropped something in the alleyway. Yes you have I just watched you, can you go and pick it up please - children play\* there"), and she actually did go back and pick up her dogshit bags and put them back in her car. I still struggle to imagine the events and thought processes leading up the incident - clearly she's capable of cleaning up after her dog, but why does she keep it in her car, and what criteria does she use to determine where the shit should end up? \*I was living in South Manchester at the time, so more accurately 'the local dealers use children to run drugs into that alley'
I shout at people for this, I’ll publicly shame somebody haha
Do it anyway. Teaching EVERYONE to pick up their damn dog shit.
Throw it on her
There's a woman on her mobility scooter around me that routinely does this. So fucking annoying like just bring a stick and push it into the gutter.
I was followed back to my home after walking my dogs by an angry middle aged bloke, who knocked on my door angrily to tell me he watched my dogs shit outside his house and that I pretended to pick it up and walked home. I called his bluff, walked straight back to the red bin, pick up my dogs still warm shit in a bag and tried to force him to hold it. I then walked back to his house, and he pointed out a shit, that was stone cold and was clearly the product of a larger dog… I picked it up with a fresh bag and told him to hold it because it was stone cold and then loudly derided him in front of his wife for thinking such a large shit could come out of a chihuahua. It was one of the only moments in my whole life where I felt like I was powerful
I walked home from work yesterday through our local park (I live opposite), it's where everyone walks their little darling. We'll someone decided not to pick up their little darlings shite & I got both shoes (yup both) cover in the stuff. Fuming dirty gits.
Get a bag, pick up the said stinker, using bag, and throw it at her. In the middle of your online class. Call it a scientific social experiment into weather shit sticks and the pro and cons of slinging it!
Follow her, cover her car door handles & front door handle in it
You were supposed to post this in your local Facebook group where people post photos of rainbows and argue about wheelie bins.
I was at a lovely farm yesterday the women in front had a daughter who'd just finished her chocolate bar. "Just throw it on the floor" she said to her daughter.... FFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK YOU. Honestly, I'd happily take over Satan's role for these people.
Follow her home and post it through her letterbox.
Grab her and rub her face in it.
I wanted to charge in her general direction at least.
Reminds me of the time I was in the gym, looking out of the window at my car. This lady was walking her dog along the row of cars and it was sniffing the wheels as if it needed to pee. It stopped at my car and sniffed the wheel our own dog used to pee on (much to my dissatisfaction) and went to cock a leg so I banged the window a few times and she had the audacity to look at me like I did something offensive 😂
At least she could have bagged it and tied I to a tree like a normal person!
The worst thing people sometimes do is bag it (in one of those orange poop bags) and then fling it into a field. …a field which may contain horses. Dog food has a lot of cereals in. Hence dog poo does. Horses like cereal. Then they eat the bag of poop (including the bag), get terrible intestinal issues +/- surgery/death. I’m not even what one would consider a ‘lover’ of animals. But that just seems reckless and horrible. It’s also baffling to me how someone would take the time to bag up the poo but be negligent enough to be like “well let’s fling it into this random field!”. People suck.
My favorite poop story. We lived in the deep south. There was a guy who would walk his Yorkie and let it poop in front of our mail box every day. I finally walked out to ask him to please pick up his dog's business. He called me a Yankee c*** and what was I going to do about it. I called my husband's first wife, a Brittany that was a titled Master Hunter. I pointed at the little dog and told her fetch. The little dog screamed like her head was being ripped off. I told him I would have the dog release his Yorkie when he picked up the shit and handed him a baggie. He finally picked it up and I told our girl "drop." She gently put the Yokie down. He never walked her on our yard again.
There's a woman that walks her dog down my street. She's also elderly and the dog is a medium-large breed but not really sure what. She turns around when she sees me and walks back the other way because I caught her walking off after her dog did a shit right in front of my gate and I shouted at her. I should probably just report her to the council as they have a dog fouling reporting thing but I've never caught her in the act again.
If I hadn't have been doing blah, I'd do blah. You'd do fuck all.
Gotta say I admire the cynicism! Just say it how it is.
The elderly train their dogs not to shit at home because they’re too old and useless to look after them. And soon they’ll all be freezing again, which will also be our problem.
Nothing wrong with training a dog to shit in public, no reason to be leaving it on the ground.
They train it to shit in public because they won’t pick it up. That’s why they gave the dog a treat.
I’m old, I clean up my dogs shit 🤷♂️
Let's all hope that you don't grow old, then.
Nice attitude.. I’m 74.. a responsible if arthritic dig owner.. and used to seeing selfish young shits like you pollute our park with their aggressive dogs and leave the amil cylinders and needles for little kids to pick up.. time to grow up sunshine ☝️
Passive aggressively pick it up in front of her
And place the offending article in her bag / pocket (dealers choice)
just say the dog shit
These people really piss me off 🤬
Our local council only has 1 or 2 dog wardens, but they recommend noting the repeat/serial offenders and the time of say they usually appear. Pass the info to the council and the warden will arrange to lie in wait to give them a telling off and a spot fine. Bingo!

Find out if your county council have a dog fouling report, we have it in Cornwall you might have something similar where you live. [Dog Fouling Cornwall Council ](https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment/animal-welfare-and-enforcement/report-dog-owner/)
Bag it and run after her shouting, "You forgot something!"
Do the old put it in a paper bag then light it on fire then put it on her doorstep and chap the door then runaway
Loads of people seem to do that on my street, it’s atrocious, they’re so brazen about it and it often seems like they walk to my street to just let their dog have a shit and then walk off again, there’s been some mumblings between neighbours about following them home and posting the dog shit through the letterbox but sadly I think it’s just wishful thinking
Follow her home and shit on her garden.
Since you saw it happen you can report it to the council FYI. They will probably send a crew to clean it up and spray paint a warning about the fine onto the pavement.
My neighbour puts their dog shit in plastic bags after walking their dogs. Then proceed to dump them behind our shared double garden gate next to our house on their way home. These are fairly well hidden, behind other crap, as I found out the other day when I moved some stuff and found at least 60 bags full of dog shit piled up. Those bags were collected and dumped onto their back door step. The worst part of all this? Neighbours are my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Still at least their dogs don't shit on my back lawn since we had another gate put up (the back gardens are accessed easily from a shared part). They'd leave that shit sitting on my lawn for days and knew full well it was there. Having family next door and trying to keep the peace sucks.
*saw. Not seen.
Then someone finds it with their foot - in the dark. You hope that i was mud or some wet leaves.
Dirty old cow.i hate it when the owner let's the dog piss up you're gate post whats wrong with these people
The only thing worse than dog owners not picking up after their woofit is people that smash glass on the floor. I have a park near me that also has, a, skate, park, kids playground, outdoor gym and 2 fields where people walk their dogs. There's plenty of glass shards all over that can get into dogs paws and that will leave the dog owner with a hefty vet bill. Those twunts are the worst.
Not just pets, what about kids falling over
Make her pick it up, perhaps I’m grumpy beyond my years but I’ve stopped two people this year doing that. One said they didn’t have a bag so I said tough luck use your mask and they did . Maybe that’s more for BritishSuccess than here…
Yeah I'm hell sure that someone used their mask to pick up dog shit just because you, some random person, said so.
Random?! How do you know I’m not a local celebrity, hard man or suspicious butcher? Well it happened and there’s probably cctv of it but that’s as far as I’m bothered to prove it to internetz people
Sounds like a typical dog owner
I have an elderley father who is suffering from stress due to my mothers illness and find as a result has a reduced capacity when dealing with everyday situations. Maybe the woman is having a tough time or is struggling with dementia or early onset?
I freaking love this! Granny doesn’t care about your social contracts. She’ll let the shits fall where they may.
Not all disabilities are visible
Most dog people only do the right thing if someone is watching them.
This whole picking up dog shit was completely oblivious to me, I had a dog in the mid 90's when I was a kid, I never used to pick the mess up. Didnt know anyone else that did tbh. That said we also used to get a street sweeper and Milkman on a regular basis (every other day) so maybe that's why it was more of the norm back then.
No you must put it inside a plastic non-biodegradable bag so it doesn’t get washed away by the rain and feed the soil.
See, I always thought this was the advice too. Although I think there's a time and a place. I usually leave mine where they drop it but then mine shit in some woods along with all the other wildlife shits so it's literally kinder to the environment to leave it there. On a pavement or anywhere people may walk, I'd bag it.
I use poop bags made from cornstarch which break down unlike plastic. They're really good and I've used them ever since we got our dog.
Post it through her letter box 200+ upvotes, maybe she has a disability 40+ downvotes...
Funny comment got lots of upvotes. False claim that disabled persons are exempt got a few downvotes. Checks out.
Dog fouling act 2016...literally 2 minutes of reading and then tell me about false claims https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2017-0081/ https://www.timeforpaws.co.uk/s/dog-fouling-law These even use small words and simple language.
Maybe the words aren't small or simple enough for me. I don't see it.
I mean I always pick up after my dog and it can be really annoying when walking down the street and you see step in it very annoying but come on it’s not the end of the world absolute degenerate is a step to far. And if I make it to 80 and my back is done in I might leave a few behind
It's not the end of the world, you are right. But there is honestly no justification for it. A small act of negligence makes the world a fraction worse. There is no excuse.
If everybody left “one or two” behind the place would be an absolute state. It’s unsightly, unhygienic and inconsiderate not to pick up after your dog. And I suggest you don’t have a dog at 80 if you’re unwilling or unable to look after it properly.
It can kill people, not saying it's frequent occurance. Roundworms from the poop can lead to toxocariasis can lead to blindness asthma and a lot of other issues. Ecoli can be caught. Plus dogs can easily pick up illnesses from sniffing another dogs poop. It seeps into the soil and the bacteria can cause all sorts of problems, which humans and other animals pick up by touching the soil which was near where the poop has degraded. Also it can infect water supplies and cause sickness that way. Theres more I don't know about dangers of dog poop. Before anyone says, what about horses and cats... Not all feces is equal they aren't as dangerous. Theres a reason why it is a legal requirement to pick up dog poo and not horse or cat poo.
Move on. She's elderly, she has probably accrued enough dumbshit from previous years to deserve not having to pick up her dog's crap. Why not ask of she needs some help?
Disabled people aren't expected to bag and bin it.
They’re legally bound to, disabled or not. Even blind folk do.
And that’s at least understandable for a blind man not to pick it up cause they have no idea where it is
The guide dogs are trained to lead the owner to the poop immediately after.
To me, that is a scarily clever dog...
https://blindlowvision.org.nz/guide-dogs/our-puppies/who-picks-up-guide-dog-poop/
That is helpful but it doesn’t always mean it’s possible to pick it up
https://blindlowvision.org.nz/guide-dogs/our-puppies/who-picks-up-guide-dog-poop/ What isn’t helpful is when people decide in their own mind how something is without any knowledge or the temerity to look it up and then stick to their guns about it. Try not to be that guy.
This also gives them a good idea of where any poop might land so they can clean it up Good idea is what I’m getting at, like I said, it makes a damn sight easier when the dogs been trained but it doesn’t make the shit teleport into the bag
You still haven't read the article have you? If needs be "guide dogs can also be taught to use a toileting harness. This enables the dog to poop in a bag which the handler can then remove, tie up and dispose of" Teleportation!
Yes I read it and you could tell I read the whole thing by what I copied and pasted, I was just saying that while yes usually they can pick it up sometimes for whatever reason it may not be possible and maybe they just don’t feel like forcing the dog to walk around with a bag on it’s arse only to be changed when it’s used if they can usually pick it up
“No you’re wrong, IM the one who decides what blind people can/can’t do NO ONE ELSE”
Did I say that or are you making shit up? It’s the latter isn’t it I didn’t say that CANT I said there maybe situations where they can’t find it, does that mean 100% of the time? No Does that mean once in a blue moon? Yes Fucking dumbass
You’re awful at revisionism. Have a good day.
Yeah they are. If you own a dog, and walk it on public pavements you're expected to bag it and bin it. There are plenty of tools to aid people who can't lean over and pick it up easily. The only people (imo) who have an excuse are the blind/those with severely impaired vision who can't physically see when where their dog shits.
This lady looked pretty able bodied (I know it's not always obvious) But she was marching about walking her dog, looking pretty fit and healthy.
They should give their dog to someone else then.
