A woman has been hailed for her smelly revenge on a neighbour who consistently fails to pick up after her dog.
She explained there’s a “big problem” with dog mess in her townhouse community as her neighbours are “too lazy” to clean up after their pets, assuming it’s someone else’s job.
To teach them a lesson, she took matters into her own hands and returned their dog’s waste straight to their front door. Sharing her story on Reddit, she said: “People not picking up their dog’s poop is a big problem. Constant poop everywhere, even though there are bag supply stations in many locations.
“Today I thought I heard someone at my door and decided to look down from the second-story window, but didn’t see anyone at my door. However, I saw the neighbour walking their Dalmatian. I saw the dog pooping and I decided to keep looking out the window to see if this woman would pick up her dog poop. You guessed it, she did not.”
She considered shouting out of the window to ask if she was going to pick it up – but thought better of it. She added: “I thought I’d give her the benefit of the doubt and she’d come back out and pick it up. I’ve done that before, but upon realising I didn’t bring a bag, I went back out to grab it. But she did not.
“I let the poop sit there for an hour or two to see if anyone in her family would go pick it up and now such luck. With that, she stormed outside and bagged up the dog poo before throwing it at her neighbour’s front door.”
She said: “They have a Ring camera and probably saw me do it, so maybe just maybe they’ll pick it up next time. However, I doubt it. Not the best petty revenge, but it felt good to toss it at their door. People not picking up their dog’s poop is a big problem. Constant poop everywhere, even though there are bag supply stations in many locations.”
Commenting on her post, one user suggested: “Next time put it under their doormat.” Then someone else advised: “Leave it on the mat without bag and first step out the door will be the most pleasant. They won’t forget.”
