So my wife is upset that when I walk our dog and he takes dump, I don't pick it up, I am I crazy? It's biodegradable so where is the problem here?


(Edit: to be clear I don't let him do it on people's lawns or property only on side walks, bushes, bark, etc..)

 

[RPGamer92]

Now that's some shit.

 

[Tathanen]

You son of a bitch.

 

[JoJoShabadoo]

Leaving dog shit in your neighborhood. That's the problem.

 

[lucebuce12]

What the shit?

 

[wild wild rice]

You really have to ask this? Do you happen to live where there are other humans? Ones that walk on the ground?

 

[shadowsdarknes]

Dude go pick up your dog's poop. Smfh

 

[Ray Wonder]

Unless you're walking him through the woods, you should be picking it up. I never did when I walked my dog either though.

 

[robochimp]

The problem is for everyone who can potentially step in your dog's shit.

 

[KarmaCow]

People don't like seeing/smelling/stepping in shit.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Some poor kid is gonna step all up in that shit, you shithead!!

 

[Astarte]

you're a demon

 

[BlueSteel]

How long have you had a dog?

[Jeronimo Jones]

And this is why we don't trust dog owners.

 

[J-Rod]

Then let him shit in your own yard.

 

[LiK]

Dude, clean up that shit. Your wife is right.

 

[thecosmicfly]

Bet you have a great dane as well.

 

[Forerunner]

That's real shitty of you.

 

[psaman17]

Wow you fucking monster.

 

[marrec]

You're a bad person, pick that shit up.

 

[old manatee]

You are the reason that I'm not allowed to bring the dog to any of the beaches and trails near me.

Your wife deserves better.

It's gross. Makes neighborhoods look trashy. As I understand it, it also can contaminate ground water, sprinkler systems and the like.

I always try to pick it up unless I'm hiking on a mountain.

 

[True Underdog]

Pick up your dog's shit, OP.

 

[Sephzilla]

what?!

 

[Darth Pinche]

That shit stinks and will end up on someone's shoe thanks to you.

Pick up your shit.

[br3wnor]

That's a shady move, your wife has every reason to be upset with you, it's common courtesy to clean up after your dog in public. It's biodegradable but someone will step in it and it's a huge pain in the ass to clean dog shit off of your shoe.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Typical dog owner

 

[SonnyBoy]

It's just the decent and considerate thing to do. If you're fine with being neither of those things, don't. lol

 

[Mr Swine]

Would you like it if someone pooped in your garden or at your doorstep and you step on it? Yeah screw all the pet owners that don't pick up their pet poop

 

[malingenie]

If I was drunk with power i'd ban you from this forum. You ruin my walks to work.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Pick up the dogshit. What the hell is wrong with you.

 

[jonno394]

OP is the real animal here.

 

[nynt9]

Would you pick it up if your dog shat inside your house?

 

[Tony Iron Man Stark]

Did your dog poop on the lawns or sidewalks?

 

[How About No]

1. You're an asshole
2. You made this for attention
3. You're an asshole
4. Pick up your dog's shit you asshole

 

[SeanC]

Yeah, it's biodegradable, but it takes weeks for it to disappear and chances are someone will be stepping in it before that. It's just courtesy.

[le.phat]

Do you walk your dog where other people walk their dogs ? Or other people walk ? Because if so then i hope from here on out you come home with massive, corn-spiked, creamy shits underneath your shoes every single time you go out.

 

[Pinko Marx]

What shitpost, OP.

 

[kmfdmpig]

Yes, you are crazy, if this is in a residential area.

People don't want to be surrounded by shit in their neighborhoods. If you're walking in a forest or something then that's fine, but every decent person picks up their dog's shit in residential areas as a courtesy. Your neighbors don't want to wait for the bio-degradation process to take care of it.

Also, I suspect that laziness, not the eventual bio-degradation is the reason you're not picking it up.

 

[Beatrix]

Troll thread? Yeah you should pick up after your dog if it shits lol. I can see the reasoning if you're in the woods/middle of no where field where no one really walks but if you're in a neighborhood or park then yes you pick that shit up. Is it really that hard to understand? Biodegradable isn't a good reason lol

 

[nicoga3000]

Then let him shit in your own yard.

This.

OP, you're a bad person. I've called people out for this around my neighborhood because it's bullshit and fucking rude.

 

[Doomshroom]

You throw your cigarebutts on the ground aswell?

 

[andythinkpad]

Tag fishing.

Poop is biodegradable but, a. it takes time to degrade, and b. there are other things in the poop that can be harmful in terms of water run off and that sort of thing. Lastly, poop being there is just ugly. If it's on your property and you don't care, that's one thing. Otherwise you're being a dick.

 

[andymcc]

Like unless it's a tiny dog, that's inexcusable.

I always carry bags when I walk.

 

[rjinaz]

Typical dog owner

No. And it's actually against the law in most places for a reason. You'll get fined. Most dog owners pick up the shit.

You're the reason I occasionally have someone shake my hand for picking up after my dog. Not sure why you got a dog if you aren't willing to take on all of the responsibilities that come with it, but hey, you're only one of many lazy dog owners. Who cares, right?

 

[Simon Belmont]

You are awful. Just don't have a dog if you won't take responsibility for one.

 

[Ray Wonder]

It's good for the dirt
Not wasting plastic bags
Dog poo is about as offensive as seeing a pinecone



If it's on someone's property I might have
