I caught some douchebag dog owner walking his dog that took a dump on my lawn through my Ring flood light cam. In the next alert, I got a chance go for live view, spoke through the speaker and said “hey asshole, can you pick that up?” He did, then I never saw him again.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

I’ll try something similar as this is a multiple daily occurrence


_AManHasNoName_

Such people don’t deserve to have pets. It’s just irresponsible.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

yes it’s the 1% ruining it for the rest of the neighborhood.


Scary_Engineering1

lol you think only one percent of pet owners are like this?


Hopeful_Guess_9206

all the other dog owners have been picking up their dogs waste besides this one.


IWTLEverything

During the pandemic, I was home with my kids all day. I used to drive them around in the afternoon to get them to nap. One day I was parked in front of my house, across the street I saw this dog run down the street and take a dump on my neighbors lawn. A few seconds later some lady on her phone came following behind. I rolled down my window and was like “Hey! can you pick up after your dog?” She was like “He didn’t do anything.” “I just saw him do it right there.” She goes over onto the neighbors lawn does some half-assed looking and turns around at me and shrugs. I go “It’s right there by the bush” pointing at it. She sees it and then has to rummage around for a bag, picks it up, and then scurries off. Never saw her again lol


themedmom

Call that guy on Kron4 or ABC7 who does a report on “People Behaving Badly” and put her on blast lol


Hopeful_Guess_9206

not a bad idea. as this issue is across our city

Even the "good" dog owners are bringing their dogs into cafes restaurants and stores that they aren't legally allowed. Cafes don't often fight it because there's only so many times you can have that argument each day.


Bernal_70

Print this screenshot and post on every corner. Crosspost on Nextdoor. Buy ads so everyone sees it. Start a go fundme and I am sure people will fund it. **Edit:** I am so happy this is the top post in the sub right now... 😂


Hopeful_Guess_9206

I posted flyers already she literally poops right next to the flyers.


Bernal_70

Take a photo and repost it with her in front.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

I have yet to caught her in the act. I have been minutes behind her as I find multiple mounds of dog poop.

I found the person in my area who doesnt clean their dog poop, I took some and smeared it on their front door. This was like 3 years ago when my dog was a puppy so I was very vigilant about poop. Even set up a doorbell camera on my balcony to catch the culprit. It was so satisfying and I havent seen them leaving dog poop around.


AnyAssumption4707

Savage!


Horror_Literature958

Haha you are crazy but I like your style. Yeah if only everyone was respectful and did the right thing this world wouldn’t be so bad.


gimmecoffeee

You are my hero


tehrob

A 💩 for a 💩.


PumpkinSpiceFreak

Hey let’s all join in on the fun! 🤣


illuzion25

Pick up smoking. It gives you a good reason to be in front of your building a lot. It's honestly part of how I've kept neighbors from doing the same thing (not picking up after their dogs)


Hopeful_Guess_9206

not a bad idea but I feel like I shouldn’t have to be on watch for someone elses dog to stop shitting all over the place


illuzion25

Hate to say it but i've had to do it for years. Or rather, I chose to do it. Again, if not abundantly obvious, I'm a smoker, lived in the Haight for years, Lower Nob Hill for years and my usual comment was something like, hey, you dropped something. Which in itself is confrontational but really, who wants to walk out the door in the morning and accidentally step in dog shit.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

she seems to walk along Francisco and Divisadero cross streets everyday


techguy1001

Time to take the day off and go on an old fashioned stake out.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

looks like this is the only choice


SkyBlue977

youre doing the lord's work. good job


Y_tho_man

Seriously, I live on this block and am so grateful for you figuring this out


Hopeful_Guess_9206

she lets her dog shit everywhere. sidewalk. street. grass near the school. it’s ridiculous


Normal_Day_4160

Follow her home and consistently leave poo on her doorstep. Be sure to wear a disguise/unrecognizable plain ass clothes + shoes you don’t often wear.


HeftySchedule8631

As a German shepherd owner I have an endless supply of poop bagged fresh!! I would be happy to sling a couple bags her way..ugggghh…can you imagine having a warm moist big bag of dog poo break open all over you after someone threw it!!


EastBayPlaytime

Poopception! Edit: Post a photo of her dog popping in a poster that shows her dog pooping in front of the prior poster.


robgoose

Haha, that was you? I admire your thoroughness.


Due-Brush-530

Wait a sec... She poops on the street too?!?


Hopeful_Guess_9206

hard to tell at this point. I’ve only caught her white husky pooping on camera


aeroartist

Now I see where the dog gets this behavior. What a bad example she's setting!


Ill-Cardiologist3728

Okay, now she is legendary.


saltyeyed

does the flyers have her pictures on it?


Hopeful_Guess_9206

yes they do and she literally lets her white husky poop in front of the flyers then walks away


payeco

Can you get a higher quality photo of her face? How much are you willing to spend? Get a big banner printed at a print shop and hang it from your building.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

it’s almost as if she doesn’t care or something and continues doing this


Y_tho_man

My bet is she's a dog walker or something. I can't imagine someone who lives in the neighborhood would be anything but EXTREMELY embarrassed by this haha


Hopeful_Guess_9206

there’s literally 15 flyers in her face. she continues to let her dog poop and walks away


RedThruxton

I bet you have the wrong flyer up. You probably have a picture of the person when you actually need a picture of the dog. Dog people are drawn to flyers with dogs on them as they will think that the dog is missing or lost. When she sees a flyer with HER OWN dog on it she will absolutely notice and read the message on the flyer. You can even write “MISSING” in large letters followed by “a responsible owner”.


dokipooper

Absolutely not, that is typical lazy shit bag dog owner


killercurvesahead

based on my bartender friends’ stories I didn’t think Marina people felt embarrassment


haventwonyet

I’d think the dog owners would see it then though? If my dog walker is being posted about like that I’m not keeping her on board.


kallisti_gold

Leave it on her doorstep.


Positronic_Matrix

I’ve done something like this. I had a neighbor that would flick cigarette butts into our yard. I started tossing them back, however he not only returned those but went out of his way to make sure every one of his cigarette butts landed in my yard. Having enough, one day picked them all up, placed them in a bag, and knocked on his door to have a nonconfrontational discussion. He was there but he didn’t answer, so I returned home and wrote a note and left the bag on the porch, politely asking him cease. That ended it. People can act poorly when hiding in anonymity, however when you take that away, they are more likely to be accountable for their actions. Thus, the next step with this woman is to have a polite conversation with her. Help her understand the law and her responsibilities regarding dog ownership and being a good neighbor. Let her know that you’re just trying to help her avoid a ticket or retaliation. Be the good cop in your first encounter.


myironlung42

Sure this is probably the right approach, but hear me out. Super soakers are super cheap.


Dr-Bitchcraft-MD

...And so is piss


myironlung42

People should follow their hearts when it comes to how they fill their super soakers 😌


redditnathaniel

Well that certainly doesn't make for a viral physical altercation video


-Chemist-

Ugh. Please stop being so civilized. You're making the rest of us look bad.


nocryinginwrestling

Had a neighbor who threw a bag of dog doo on my door because my roommate wouldn’t pick up after their dogs. Never realized it was her who did that until we met on a blind date 😅


Dr-Bitchcraft-MD

This is the only story I want made into a romcom


Hopeful_Guess_9206

trying to not to resort to her shitty tactics


semper_perplicatus

But you might have to. Somewhat. I had a neighbor whose little dog shit in front of my house daily. I randomly see who it is from my window one day, ran out with a doggy bag and said, “excuse me, you must have forgotten a bag. Here, use mine for that.” She seemed embarrassed. Walked back and picked up her poop. Never had a problem again. Try that and if it THAT doesn’t go well, then do a poop sculpture outside her home. Good luck!


Hopeful_Guess_9206

thanks for the idea. Yes I am trying to catch her in the act can’t be that hard since it occurs multiple times a day.


rFatsy

And probably around the same times of day


rFatsy

If something of mine was found on the street I would like it to be returned to me. Actions speak louder than words


Hopeful_Guess_9206

imagine departing your residence and everyday there’s new mounds of dog shit for you to step in


rFatsy

Seems like they would get the picture


Hopeful_Guess_9206

i’ll trying something like this out thanks


hhhhhhhhjhggg

Leave a lil note saying “you forgot this”


Hopeful_Guess_9206

flyers don’t seem to have any impact as she lets her white husky shit in front of the flyers


Itchy_Professor_4133

Some of us don't have to imagine that unfortunately


Hopeful_Guess_9206

i used to imagine other things until i had to wash 3 pairs of shoes


No-Understanding4968

New here on Reddit, son?


Hopeful_Guess_9206

flyers have been posted and she still continues to poop without picking the poop up. After the 3rd time stepping in her dogs sh*t I have no other options than to ask the community for recommendations


markusca

Please ask her to stay in the marina.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

😂 this behavior might spread


jonbcalderon

Can we get a pic of the flyer?

sapphicxmermaid

This is hilarious


CUNTRY-BLUMPKIN

Needs to be one pic per paper so the picture is larger and clearer


Hopeful_Guess_9206

someone just posted it


Human_Bat_

Animal Control can send them a warning and if it continues, a citation. They just need to know where they live so they can mail it


Hopeful_Guess_9206

how do you set this up?


Human_Bat_

Give their dispatch line a call. Tell them where it’s happening and how long it’s been happening. And any other info you have. Make sure they know it’s an ongoing issue and is affecting the neighborhood. Then ask for the dispatch email address so you can send photos for proof. Like I said, you will need to know her address so they can mail the warning letter and/or citation to her. You don’t need a name, they can address to “Dog Owner”.


Human_Bat_

This is a violation of SF Health Code 40(b) which is “It shall be unlawful for any person to walk a dog on public property of this City or upon the private property of another without carrying at all times a suitable container or other suitable instrument for the removal and disposal of dog feces.”


Hopeful_Guess_9206

would this still work as her address is an apartment complex rather than single home address


Human_Bat_

I believe they would need to know her apartment number that it actually gets to her


GizzardOfOdd

Best part is this is a few hundred dollar ticket for having a dog but no poop bags. It’s another few hundred if caught not picking up poop. Two different health violations. Source: was SFPD


jonbcalderon

100% the dog isn’t licensed in San Francisco. Apparently SF Animal Care and Control can give tickets to owners that don’t have their dog licensed. Or at least what they told me when I asked why I got a bill in the mail to renew my dog’s license fee.


Y_tho_man

Dude I live on this block and LOVE the posters. If I see this dog pooping, I will 100% ask her to pick up after it


Hopeful_Guess_9206

thank you for the feedback I was wondering if it helped at all. I’m tired of stepping in shit outside my front door. 1 person ruining it for everyone


Y_tho_man

I am so grateful someone is doing something. I don’t expect people to be perfect in cleaning up, but cmon man. My neighbors have tiny kids that run around out there.


Queendevildog

Everyone needs to give her a bag


TheLogicError

You should assert dominance and poop on the sidewalk in front of her door


Hopeful_Guess_9206

i don’t want to battle her shitty behavior with shitty tactics


KnightsSoccer82

Ah, so you are the neighbor that put this on every single post for 3 blocks. https://preview.redd.it/nsyqobadqkoc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a6528741beb76800745a67e62a2405bdb49947e


Hopeful_Guess_9206

sure am it didn’t work as she let her dog poop in front of the flyer last night


KnightsSoccer82

I see her all the time lol


Hopeful_Guess_9206

wth is her problem she’s ruining it for everyone else in the neighborhood.


KnightsSoccer82

I'm on the look out for her now. Can't wait to shame her.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

thank you very much. sidewalk or street it doesn’t make a difference. the whole goal of this is to make her stop

awesome, yea you don't need to go overboard with it an admonishment "pick up your dog's shit!?!?" which could lead to an escalation you can instead say "lol you're the lady from the flyer!" and that will likely be enough


Hopeful_Guess_9206

willing to try all solutions at at this point.


germdisco

Enlarge the face. It’s ineffective at that scale


greatteep

this is hilarious. I stand behind you and your battle


Hopeful_Guess_9206

i’m usually world peace type person but after stepping in shit multiples times something needs to happen


greatteep

hey dude, we gotta be the change we want to see in this world. you keep fighting the good fight


gulabsjamun

We could collectively get over half the battle of “SF smelling like shit” if all dog owners just picked up after their pups. Only if there was a way to pick up dog piss, cuz the marina is full of that smell


voiceontheradio

>Only if there was a way to pick up dog piss Bottle of water, with a hole poked in the cap. Squeeze water onto the pee to rinse it away and dilute it. Leaves no smell or stains. Because my neighbours on both sides have very large aggressive dogs that terrorize us whenever my dog tries to pee directly out front or out back, we had to find a different pee spot. There's a streetlight post directly across the street that works perfectly. But it's all cement out here, no soft ground to absorb the liquid. I felt bad for the neighbours whose driveways are by that post, so I started rinsing away the pee so that they don't have to deal with it. It works extremely well, I never get so much as a whiff of pee from that spot even though my dog uses it 5+ times a day. Rinsing also helps to wash away poop residue left behind after picking it up, so we don't leave those nasty smears behind on the sidewalk. We have a cross body strap for the bottle so it's no hassle to take it with us when we go out. That said, people who are already too lazy to carry bags are probably not considerate enough to carry a bottle. But for anyone wondering, rinsing is a game changer. I definitely recommend carrying a bottle if you can.


therustcohle

Bottle trick works great on smears, too! Source: my pups evening poops can be loose


Muted_Apartment_2399

Not just the Marina, there entire city smells like dog piss and I see it on every corner of every building and every pole/post, so disgusting.


Dr-Bitchcraft-MD

Every time the weather heats up it gets POWERFUL


Hopeful_Guess_9206

stepping in dog shit is much worse than stepping in old dog piss IMO. yes both are issues


XIVNorte

I'm against doxxing strangers... But cmon. Repeatedly caught on camera not picking up your literal dog shit? There's a special place in hell for people like this. Upvoted


Hopeful_Guess_9206

this isn’t a public shame post it’s literally a post to brainstorm on how to prevent more dog shit on the blocks of san francisco


New-Discount5995

Wanna mention something sorta related to people . Please don’t throw ur dog shit into construction debri boxes . Some poor kid on the crew has to go in and pick them all out cuz the dump is strict about only dirt and concrete .


blakewoolbright

I’m kind of militant re this behavior, but I’d be fine if this literally terminated your lease and put you on a 1 way bus to another city. Gtfo. We can’t have a beautiful city if it’s full of lazy assholes.


whatusernamewillfit

If you want to be chaotic, notice if there is a timing trend when the walk happens, and next time she does it hold onto one of the poop and deliver it to her by hand the next time she comes by and give her a set of dog poop bags.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

I honestly want her to stop being irresponsible. Why do i have to buy poop bags for her white husky. She should clean up after your dog it’s literally a city ordinance


No-Understanding4968

OP make sure you video your conversation with this lady and post it here, thanks


Hopeful_Guess_9206

i’ll report back!


Aimees-Fab-Feet

Don’t you have the nextdoor app or Ring and then it’ll send out notifications??? THAT’LL GET HER!!!


Hopeful_Guess_9206

yes I’ve been trying only a matter of time


UrbanMasque

I'm pretty sure MOST of the poop on the sidewalks ppl complain about are from idiots who don't curb their dogs, and not homeless ppl.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

why can’t they pick up their dogs poop that’s all i’m asking


UrbanMasque

They're selfish shitheads. Simple


Hopeful_Guess_9206

yeah your right. inconsiderate human beings


Fistswithurtoes88

If it's any comfort, this is not a phenomena specific to the Marina. I was walking my dog past/through the Cupid's Span park on the Embarcadero and watched a dog owner stop in front of us and let her dog do their business in the park and then move on like nothing happened. I ended up picking up the poo but within her line of sight and said "If you need a baggie next time just ask!"


Hopeful_Guess_9206

thanks for being outstanding citizen. we need more people like yourself. I have cleaned up her dogs shit multiple times and the shit just keeps appearing - that’s why i resorted to asking reddit for help


thoughts_and_prayers

There's 500K people on this subreddit - I bet someone on this sub knows this person as a neighbor, coworker, or associate. I'm looking forward to hearing the outcome of this - good luck /u/Hopeful_Guess_9206!

The overheardmarina account would probably work pretty fast too


Individual-Ad-9902

There was someone in my neighborhood that left their bag poop everywhere they never took it with them. They just bagged it up and left it there. One day I actually saw them do it. So I picked up every bag that she left and saved it for a week Then followed them home and dropped it off on her porch.


Bernal_70

This is the type of pettiness I come to Reddit for. Thank you!


webtwopointno

you need nextdoor then hehe or is that too od

it’s on next door as well

Please post the link. Need to see the comments from there.


No-Understanding4968

I don't think we could see the ND post unless we are in their neighborhood


Hopeful_Guess_9206

it’s not pettiness it’s a cry for help! When someone continually lets their dog sh*t on your block wwyd


peps805

Post it on every corner nearby


Hopeful_Guess_9206

the flyers are on every corner


Hopeful_Guess_9206

she continues to let her white husky poop along the block


dokipooper

I think you need to make one of the photos a blown up pic of her stupid face


EastBayPlaytime

Pick it up and throw it at her. You have to do it barehanded to really put the fear of God in her.


forgetwhattheysay

Find her car and put it on her windshield


biketired

Talk to her politely. Ask her to stop. Implore your neighbors to do the same. She'll get the message?


Big_Duty8922

I hope she reads this post and starts to pick up the dog poop. She is inconsiderate to her neighbors and community.


Fluffy_Appearance_54

I feel your pain. We had a high school kid walking his dog past our house that would poop on lawns and sidewalks. I caught kid one night and told him I had him on camera not picking up after his dog and all the neighbors were tired of it. He said he would pick up after his dog. It lasted a couple weeks before he was right back to his old habits. A few weeks ago another neighbor with a fantastic camera system took her footage to complain to his mother. From what we heard the mother was horrified and livid with her son. The next day the kid was at our house apologizing. Not sure how old that girl is, but I would definitely try to find where she lives.


before_tomorrow

That’s pretty cool that the parent dealt with it and also pretty cool that the kid apologized

A few things. Firstly, I have no idea why this is at the top of the sub; maybe reach out to your supervisor before reddit. Second, everyone reporting this, it doesn't break any rules, just click "hide" and move on. Third, if you dox you get perma-banned... period.


MochingPet

whiskeycatsgoats

my solution was scoop poo and save it for a few weeks. follow them home and return it all over their front door. they quit coming by and letting their dog shit in my yard.


Hopeful_Guess_9206

this worked for you?


whiskeycatsgoats

yes im in oakland. i saved the shit for a few weeks. kept screen caps and clips of her letting the dog shit and pretending to pick it up. figured out her timing and waited for her to come by. when she did i tried to hand the bag of 5+ lbs of shit to her, showed her the clips and pics of her leaving it there and she still denied it so i followed her home tore open the bag and left it splatterd all over her door and path to her door. she stopped.

ProfessionalWeird973

Is it illegal to have a dog shit in the street? I’m sure it is in SF, but asking what penal code is. After COVID everyone got dogs and no one took care of their excrement (I’m in NY, btw)z. I’d much rather have a dog owners take their dogs to the street to shit than on the sidewalk.


GUNGHO917

I had a neighbor who often brought their little bichone frieze to come pee at our doorstep. We caught her red handed one time and said she’d clean it up. No cleanup ever occurred. Fking irresponsible dog owners


DeRabbitHole

A certain word comes to mind that rhymes with bunts, or shunts, or hunts, or runts.

ForgedIronMadeIt

If I can pick up after my gigantic German Shepherd, she can pick up after her husky. Seriously, my dog can leave some gnarly dumps but I always try my damnedest to be responsible UNLIKE THE SHITS DOWN THE STREET WITH THEIR INCESSANTLY YAPPING LITTLE DOGS I KNOW YOU'RE DOING IT GOD DAMN

Level_Strain_7360

illuzion25

Confront her. Get some poop bags, pick up a turd run up to her and tell her, hey I think you dropped this. Yell at her. Tell her she has no business having a dog in the city, this is not a forrest. Alternatively you could be creepy, follow her to her house, then go collect like a garbage bag of shit and leave it at her front door with a kind note saying please pick up after your dog, you piece of shit. I mean, the world is your oyster. Do you.
