#### going down in our neighborhood - about to go MOP on someone (1 Viewer)

[Fennis]

can someone get the guy's FIL who ####s on his lawn to comment?

 

[eoMMan]

Are you sure it's poop? Did you taste it?

Very uncool to not clean up after your dog...

I've come to realize that poor people just can't have nice things.

Look at the retail establishments in poorer neighborhoods. #### everywhere. On the floor in aisles. Dirty. Go to nice neighborhoods and everything is in it's place and spotless. Poor subdivisions? Lawns unkempt and weedy, old #### scattered around the lawn, etc. Nice neighborhoods with nice lawns, tidy lack of clutter. You can say it's because of money, but how muck does it cost to mow your lawn, pull some weeds, and throw away that rusted tricycle with a missing wheel that's been sitting out next to your sidewalk since the Bush administration? None. No excuse.

It comes down to taking pride in your home and neighborhood, and having a little self respect. Some people have it. Some people don't.

Yeah. Poor people are the worst.

I take my dog for a walk in the late evening when it is dark out. That way, homeowners do not see him taking a dump in their yard.

First started seeing bags of waste by the sidewalk. WTF? pick it up but leave it? Is this some new biodegradable compost conspiracy theory or something?

I think I've been guilty of this once or twice. I'll leave the bag if it's towards the beginning of a run or a long walk with the dog where I really don't want to be carrying the bag the whole rest of the way. I have good intentions when I'm leaving it there - fully intend to come back that way and pick it up on the way back. But once in awhile, I forget all about it.

That's really the only way I have of explaining the bag it but leave it situation.

And then there's the nighttime mystery dump where I'm sure the dog went, but I can't find it anywhere afterwards, even using my phone's flashlight.

They do tend to have bad lawns.

I stepped in some jackasses dog poop in a pair Nike's with the thick white waffle soles a few weeks ago, incidentally in a nicer neighborhood in LA, on my last work trip down there. It was an older pile that had semi-hardened. It took probably 8 hours to get everything out of there.

I would have beaten the guy and his dog with a rubber hose if I could.

There's a #### load of rich people who live on Park ave. in NYC who don't pick up their dog ####.

Pretty sure that's their lower class servant's fault.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I can't stand the ####### dog owners that don't pick up their dog's ####.

This is the epitome of pathetic. Just picture some guy looking around a devil's strip at night with his cellphone light.

You walk up, concerned. "Hey, you lose something? Wedding ring? Wallet?"

"Dog crap."

"Dude....go home. Mix yourself a strong drink and bring it and the bottle to the bathroom. Suck it down while taking a hot bath. Make crock pot chicken. Then take a long hard look at your life."

Jesus this isn't about a class war, it's just about having some manners and decency. I normally don't agree with icon but he's right. Nicer neighborhoods are generally homeowners who so give a crap. Poorer neighborhoods are a much higher percentage of rentals who neither the landlord "doesn't have to see it" nor the tenant "this isn't my yard" give a crap. As if they'd actually clean it if they owned the lot.

Seriously though, yeah, if it's on the side of the road next to some woods, I'm not even trying. But if it's in front of a neighbor's house, especially near their mailbox or something, I have the courtesy to take 20 seconds to try to find it.

Had to look up devil's strip, though. NE Ohio thing, huh?

It's regional lingo, yah. Not sure what the neutral term is. I actually paused before using it, but that grass-line-between-the-road-and-sidewalk wasn't going to get it done.

Literally.

Live in a nice, borderline FBG worthy neighborhood in So Cal. Been here 15 years, love it. Seeing a lot of turnover as older folks that held on to their homes during the housing crisis now being able to sell and downsize. So we take our beloved 110lb 18 month old chocolate lab for at least 2 walks a day. This dog is a machine, and it's not uncommon for him to take 2 to 3 healthy steamers on his morning walk. Of course I pick it up immediately and sometimes am toting multiple bags back to the house, which I dispose of in our dumpster. The rest of the neighborhood did the same, always clean.

Things have changed. First started seeing bags of waste by the sidewalk. WTF? pick it up but leave it? Is this some new biodegradable compost conspiracy theory or something? Now we are seeing dog #### everywhere. On the sidewalk. Smaller dogs. Obviously from more than one. I haven't caught anybody in the act yet, but it's driving me insane. If you own a dog, and live where other people live, keep it on a leash and pick up after it. Common sense and decency. What's my next step? Post signs throughout the neighborhood calling people out? Go in PI mode? Collect it all and then when I find out which homeowner it is leave the pile on his doormat. Better ideas?

Update?

LOOK AT ME!!!! I HAVE A 110 POUND DOG!!!!

This kind of #### didn't used to happen so often. Just treat people as you would want to be treated. Too many people are self-absorbed and believe that they are owed something.
