Yup. I actually did this after we had the same person do this on our camera 3x. After the third time we posted all three to Nextdoor. Pick up after your pets.

So I actually posted on Next Door about one or more people who were having their dog(s) poop on our front yard, the middle of the sidewalk in front of our house, or the strip of grass between the sidewalk and street and leaving it there every single day, multiple times per day. Like we would go out in the morning, and there would be dog poop. We would come home from work- 2-3 more piles of dog poop.

I didn't post any pictures and didn't try to out any particular person. I tried to be super polite and not rant, but basically just said that this has been happening for several months, we have small children and I have had to clean them up multiple times when they stepped in or touch dog poop going into or out of our house. It was really, really bad. We went away for a long weekend and when we returned I counted FIFTEEN piles of poop in front of our property. It was absurd. Another neighbor with a dog chimed in and said that she had noticed when walking her dog that it was really, really bad at our house. It's the one and only time I have ever posted anything on Next Door.

Anyway, it stopped. I have no idea why. I still don't know who was doing it, though I have my suspicions. It's been a couple of years and the problem has not returned.

I agree and I'm also a dog owner. We pick up 99% of the time. (I suspect one of my kids may not pick up the other 1% but I could be wrong....). But I still think this kind of behavior is way worse and a bigger offense to the community than not picking up poop. It is way, WAY worse behavior.

No. Leaving a pile of dog poop for someone else to clean up is WAY WAY worse than posting a pic about it.

We pick up 100% of the time. I'm sure your 99% is more like 60% given your opinion about dog poo.

Awesome. Shame those disgusting sh1theads.

Nextdoor needs to have a moderator to approve posts. One of my neighbors posted a racist complaint recently and it is still up.

I have the nicest neighbor. Every time somebody shame somebody on Next-door her family volunteers to help the situation. FOr example a man was recently widowed and his grass wasn’t cut so her son went over and cut it after somebody shamed him on next-door. Another neighbor had a trashcan the kept falling over and trash ended up on the street so she went out and bought him a brand new trashcan

Everyone does not have the same take on this. All these neighbors are busy-bodies, even those you are patting themselves on the back for "helping". A more generous approach is actually giving of yourself and getting to know your neighbors, these neighbors. If they are in trouble --- and need your help --- they know you, you have conversations, you help and respect each other.

You don't play puppet master from afar.

One of our listserv members posted that she had put pictures of the offender all along her fence, and another said she picked up the poop bags and put them under her neighbor's windshield wipers. I would be ashamed to have done these things and I certainly wouldn't announce to the community that I had done them. They are crazy inside, and way worse than not cleaning up after a dog IMO. If I had to pick neighbors I'd rather not live next to a crazy, vindictive bitch.

That's so awesome.

I just did the same this morning but without the actual poop picture. I'm installing motion activated sprinklers and a camera and wanted to give a heads up before one is soaked.

I'm sure the irony is lost on you, OP.

Your post makes zero sense. OP is not calling out Nextdoor posters for posting about minor matters. She is saying that she doesn’t need or want to see frequent photos of dog poop, and wondering why people feel the need to share them. This is a eminently reasonable question.

This PP -- or maybe it's many -- misuses the word "irony" again and again.

That’s really kind. I love them!
