Am I Going To Be A Heartless Bar Steward?
55 Answers
I was out doing my bins early this morning, when I spotted a small dog on a lead cràpping on my bit of front lawn.
The owner merely waited for it to finish and then began to walk off.
I enquired (to a retreating back) whether she was going to clear up the mess - and was treated to a reply from a quite elderly lady, with a seriously cut-glass accent, which was along the lines of :
"Dreadfully sorry young man, but I simply can't bend down to pick things up"
and with that she swept away - moving quite briskly, I thought, for someone with a bending problem.
Now I'm torn - I have a photo (phone cameras are quite useful) which could identify her I'm sure and I really don't want her dog using my lawn as a toilet (apart from anything else it encourages other people not to clean up either).
But, if she really is incapacitated, it seems harsh to report her and possibly stop her walking her dog.
On the other hand I've just had a smelly and unpleasant job in cleaning up the poo - and am more than a bit grumpy about it.
What would you do?

Put it down to experience, dave. My guess is now that you've caught her (or rather her dog) at it, she won't be passing your way again any time soon. At least you know who is crapping on your turf. The neighbourhood toms have been using my very small plot of back yard greenery as their local cat-litter for some time now. And i sometimes have the misfortune to step into my yard just after they have deposited their waste. What a smell! No wonder i hate cats.
Hi, Dave.....I was going to suggest you treat her to a Handiscoop as in Hc's link.......but at twenty pounds maybe not.....just print the info and hand it to her when you next see her.....and point out the notices. Our dog wardens are really helpful if you need to phone them......
However......Young man?.........Hmmmm....maybe she has a sight problem too....;-)
