There's a little dog on our road who comes down to our garden to poo so this morning I picked up the two little poos and put them in their mailbox! :lol:

Good for you. :thumbsup: I hope the owners get the message with their mail. You could try and sprinkle some cayenne pepper on your garden where the poo factory does its business.

Ooops...isn't it a federal offense to open or put anything inside a mailbox?

We have 3 little dogs...

AND we are totally with you on this. We hate finding other poo left by mentalist knob head tea bagging jizz monkies who simply don't control their pack & think about other uses of the park. I'd be tempted to avoid any issues with federal law and mail boxes, and just leave it on their door step...

When we were kids a neighbour's dog used to poo in our front garden. They used to open the front door...it used to run onto our garden...poo...then run back in again. Mum told them about it but they still let it out...so she used to scoop it up and put it on their front step. After a while the dog stopped coming onto our garden.

I'm trying to think how I can adapt this strategy to where I work.

I'm guilty of doing that. When I'm in CVS, the cashiers often call that out and the customers just stand there like they're afraid to leave the line they're already in. Not me, I want to get out of their ASAP.

This drives me insane on my street. Some people are just so thick I honestly think they have never thought of picking up after their dog. What I do now is offer them a plastic bag and, more often than not, they gladly accept the plastic bag. Maybe it's just a one-off thing, but I like to think that next time they will bring a bag and clean up after their mutt.

Standing in the check out line, someone opening up a register and yelling 'I can help someone' only to have the person behind me jump to that register :frown: OK really they can say 'I can help the next person inline' or better yet go ask the next person inline to come to their register aaaarrrggg!!!

:lol: they might as well say, "Stampede!"

Why is it that nobody seems to be able to put their used shopping trolleys away? I went to our local Trader Joe's this morning and as I pulled into a parking space, the woman parked next to me was busy bumping the front of her trolley onto the kerb in the opposite space. This was despite the fact that the return cart area was closer on the other side of her! :confused:

UTTER UTTER UTTER LAZY EFFING SELF ABSORBED LAZY EFFING WANKING LAZY BASTARD KNOB HEADS.

And whilst there is nothing in the Constitution against this behaviour, there's nothing for it either. It's just downright frigging lazy and a clear sign that these people believe they are the only people on the planet. Utter utter knob heads. Really. :frown:

It might be that that behavior is constitutionally protected.. Not sure of which amendment, but if there's one about whether or not the government can get lodgings in your house for government employees, there is bound to be one about shopping carts.
