I can't believe I did this but I did and I'm looking for advice. So, I've had my nose stuck on the screens all morning, all kinds of crap going on, I'm fixing issues left and right (I work in IT) and I got a popup that said an Amazon order was delivered. So, I get up, I go get a cup of coffee, open the front door and I see this guy with his dog, dog is hunched over in pooping position, I though the dog popped and they walked off. I clean up dog crap out of my yard all the time, pisses me off to no end. I open the door, yell at the guy, he argues back and I'm just like whatever. . . but he said my first name as I closed the door.
Then it hit me, oh no, that's my next door neighbor with the dog that's had a TON of health issues and I'm horribly embarrassed and in shock for a moment. I turn around, put some shoes on and he's in the middle of my side yard, this time the dog is actually pooping but he has a bag to pick it up and I apologized profusely - at least a half a dozen times - because he's been through a lot with the dog.
Well, he's not having it. He's livid with me, starts going off, again, I apologized and he said "well, you were being a total d-ck" and I said "you know what, you're absolutely right, I was out of line, I was a total d-ck, again, I apologize and all I can do is ask for your forgiveness." I honestly did not recognize the man, he looked totally different to me (I think b/c he grew a beard) but now it's like - well now what?
Anyway, I apologized, I tried to explain myself (I picked up a TON of poop last weekend) but I really don't know what my next step is because he just stormed off, he would not really accept my apology at all. I've never yelled at any of my neighbors before and I feel like the biggest ##### on the planet. I like the whole family, they're very nice people and I would not have called him out if I knew it was him just because I know he's had a hell of a time with his dog, the dog is in really bad shape and I feel for him.
Now I feel like I just made this huge error in judgment, created a giant mess and I have no idea what my next move is. Any thoughts?
