We have a herd of deer that live in our neighborhood and those assholes poop in my yard all the time. They never pick it up either. Jerks.
I got lectured once for letting my dog walk over someone's rock-hard-frozen mulch on a walk around our neighborhood in the dead of winter, and since then I only let him walk in yards if I'm personal friends with the homeowners. He is a special snowflake who won't poop on a leash so at least I'm not leaving poop crumbs behind us.
I used to walk dogs in the area of Northern Liberties/Olde Kensington. A lady yelled at me for letting a dog pee on a tree, because she keeps it clean "for the squirrels."
I live in a very "different" style of neighborhood. It's basically the Truman Show. We have trash cans and poop bag stands all over the place, so it's really shitty (pun intended) when someone doesn't clean up after their dog. We have a lot of parks and community spaces, but also sidewalks, so it's kind of expected that dogs will do their business between the street and sidewalk. On any given day, I'll see 50+ dogs being walked.
Anyway, we also have a FB group where people complain about everything. This one woman posted a screenshot of a dog peeing on the tree in front of her house, between the sidewalk and street, saying "I don't let my dogs treat your lawn like this, you shouldn't either". It did not go as she intended....
I don't have anything to add to the dog shit conversation except that my local beer distributor once caught security camera footage of a random woman pulling down her pants and shitting in their parking lot one night after store closed. It ended up on Facebook.
Anyone here that thinks it’s only dogs that shit in public or on other people’s property hasn’t spent much time working in a retail establishment that contains a fitting room.
Nothing makes you lose faith in human being faster than working in retail. My gosh the stories I could tell.
Never had to clean up human poop but sure have had to clean up more than my fair share of kid puke. Have also had to handle too many pieces of clothing with stains that could only be from one thing but "have never been worn."

Not dog poop related, I don't get the hype of smart watches that tell you everything your phone does. I gave up wearing a watch in general because watching the time stresses me out. Being that connected to email and texts etc would make me crazy. Well that and the price of an Apple watch lol.
My unpopular opinion, social media can be an incredible benefit to people and society in general, if harnessed appropriately. A carefully curated FB/Instagram feed can feed your soul, encourage your heart, inspire you to make the world a better place, and literally save lives. (It can also destroy lives and can be the source of so much destruction and devastation...that *if* is an incredibly important part of this.)
I agree with this. I love following stuff on Instagram that I find educational, interesting, and beautiful. Stuff that feeds my soul, as you put it.
This. Instagram is my happy place. Mostly cats, celebrity chefs, and other things that are joyful to me. I do a lot of arguing on FB and twitter though.
I do not understand the allure of Nashville (the city).
I have similar feelings about Vegas. I went for the first time this summer. It was meh. I have no desire to go back.
I've been about 1/2 a dozen times since I used to live in Los Angeles, so Vegas is a 4 hour drive and it's just something people do for the weekend. Now that I live on the east coast, I have no plans to return.
Oh, hot cocoa is like nails on a chalkboard to me, it’s hot chocolate.
Same as Starbies for Starbucks
I've recently heard grown adults use the term "chicken tendies" which grates on my nerves. I don't think I'd let my own child say that because it's so f-ing annoying to me.
It’s prob best I didn’t have kids. The stories of them freaking out over getting a shot greatly annoy me. Suck it up kid! Lol. My 11yr old niece had an absolute meltdown and my SIL had to cancel her original appt, she finally got it, but get your shit together, kid!
D3 got so worked up over getting the flu shot that she threw up. I was so annoyed at her. Like, their reactions to things are ridiculous at times.
I had the nurse give her the flu shot while in the hospital on pain meds. She didn’t feel it.
One time I was walking my part time dog at my parents and when I picked up her shit the bag broke and it was…on the soft side. I got it all over my hand and didn’t have another bag or a napkin or anything to wipe it off-but my parents live on the water and the tide was high and almost up to the street so I dunked my hands in and scrubbed with sand and salt water. Then the fucking dog shit again. And I had to use the broken already shitty bag.
I can't believe there are people who defecate not in a toilet. Or urinate. Or... 🤯(referring to the fitting room comment)
Just imagine that we're probably passing these people in the grocery store and sitting next to them on the bus *faints*
When I worked retail I went to clean up the fitting rooms and someone had tried on a dress, crumpled it on the floor and took a shit on it. I mean if it didn’t flatter you, just don’t buy it.
Literally LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
I worked in a supermarket in high school. It was in a neighborhood full of old battleaxes, so not like any pleasant supermarket you ever shopped in. There was a man that came in that would often shit in the aisles. It would just roll out of him and down his pant legs I guess, like georgeglass ' dog. I often thought that I might have turned out to be a very different person if I had worked at The Gap in high school instead of that Thunderdomeesque supermarket, but maybe not!
ETA: lilafowler, another LOL I'm going to have to start bringing a backpack on our walks. Hand soap, extra large bottle of water. Roll of paper towels.

It might make you feel better to know that our dog pooped in the house once, and then the Roomba proceeded to run her scheduled cleaning. I was glad my DH was home for the aftermath and not me.

After I posted this I started worrying that I was going to get flamed for rinsing my hand off in the ocean and contaminating it with dog shit.

This is my husband’s greatest fear, but with cat shit or vomit.
Oh I have more. You are not double or triple vaxxed. You are either fully vaccinated or vaccinated with a booster.
If you’re American stop saying jab, it’s not cute.

The whole “jab” instead of “vaccination” thing is also a trend I’ve noticed in right wing death cultists to try to undermine the larger message of vaccines being effective. They’ll call it a shot or a jab because it doesn’t offer perfect immunity.
I'm having flashbacks to the 80s when my parents would loudly complain all the time of all the dog owner neighbors whose dogs would poop in our front yard and on the strip between the sidewalk and road. Picking up after your dog was not a big thing back then from what I remember. I think the one neighbor to the left of us sometimes picked up her dog's poop (can't recall the name of this dog), but the one on the right side definitely never picked up Kissy's poop. Kissy used to often be tied to a tree in their front yard, but the leash was long enough to extend a bit into our yard and hence she/he? would poop there.
And this is one of the huge reasons they were/still are a "no shoes inside" house.
I really want to know the intersection of those who want dogs to shit on the sidewalk and want to wear shoes inside

I mean, there’s a lot of shit, literally and figuratively, on the sidewalk, not just dog poop. I don’t know anyone who wears shoes in their house though.
