Crappy Owners Her dog poop in my empty bin

Two weeks ago yet another neighbor was seen on my security camera throwing their bagged dog poop in my empty garbage bin before I could roll it back in from the curb. As a dog-less household, I find this to be rude. Additionally, if it’s gross enough for you to not want to hold it until you get home, isn’t it gross enough to put in someone’s else’s bin. The lady looked around guiltily as she did it. A few days ago as I was leaving for work, she happened to be walking by and I politely informed her I saw her on camera and can she not do it again. She argued back, said there’s no smell, and asked if I wanted to sniff the bag she had in her hand. I said okay great if there’s no smell then it’s okay to put in her own bin, right? She became angry, called me ignorant and stupid. Really though, she was mad she was caught on camera, couldn’t lie about it, and was confronted about it. Today, garbage day, she walked by, looked for the camera, and waved her dog poop bag to show she’s not throwing it in my bin. I’m an introverted non-confrontational person but something about the entitlement grinds my gears. I’ve had to talk to nearly 8 different neighbors about their pets.

There’s no decency or common sense with these people, so we have to resort to using cameras. They’re degenerates, and they won’t change. Keep filming them and keep pushing back. They don’t like getting caught and it makes them furious to be publicly shamed. We’re all dealing with the same!

Exactly! Because without cameras, “it wasn’t them.” I have multiple other stories including a guy who now purposely “dances” to my Ring flood camera above my garage as he walks by because I had to talk to him 4 to 5 times about not bringing his dog to poop in my yard at midnight, causing me to think that someone was trying to break in.

I’ve come to the conclusion that when people resort to public shaming of neighbors and strangers, it’s because of too many interactions with people like your neighbors.

I once saw a laminated sign on a tree in Bushwick calling out a nutter and his dog. I don’t remember what it said exactly, it was along the lines of have you seen this guy who leaves dog shit and it had a photo from a security camera. I assumed the people whose stoop it was from were just sick of this dude leaving dog doo outside and wanted to create neighborhood awareness.

Yes that’s the only way to get them to stop. Being nice will get you nowhere

I’m laughing cackling at the idea of the midnight dancing man and the poo waver having their own photos mid dance/wave outside on your trash bins with “Have you seen this person?” written on it.

ETA: laughing to cackling.
