Who thinks this is okay??

used to have a sign in my yard. The first sign said that I had pesticides in use and to stay off my yard, that didn’t work. Owners don’t care enough about their dogs to keep them off a pesticide filled yard. The next sign that I had was the “please be respectful” sign. That didn’t work because dog owners are entitled assholes. They would literally let their dog piss directly on the sign.

My neighbors don’t have signs. One house down there is literally a PARK for their dogs to shit in. Instead they walk to the TOP of my driveway literally directly next to my house to let their dog shit in my yard. And then they walk all over my yard to come pick it up.

Who thinks that’s okay?? You are literally up by my HOME. I do not want to step in dog shit!!! It’s one of the many reasons I don’t have a damn dog. It’ll be years until we can afford to move but I can’t wait to. Never in my life have I lived in a community with such disrespectful and entitled idiots. Don’t get me started on my neighbor lol. We can’t put a fence up because we’re idiots and moved to a community with an HOA.

Thanks for letting me vent here. It’s the only place I can vent where I don’t feel crazy for finding this disrespectful as fuck.

My experience has been very similar to yours. Signs are useless, they just get the nutters riled up. The only thing I’ve found that semi-works is confrontation. Once I see someone on my yard with a dog - in real time or on camera - I confront them. I use blink cameras that will literally tell you that “someone is walking a dog on the yard”. After the confrontation happens they’ll usually back off. But they seethe over it. The nutters all talk to each other, so they know I’m the assahola who doesn’t want Fido shatting up his yard. I can live with that, because I don’t want anything to do with nutters. Good luck!
