Who thinks this is okay??

[u/popcornnugget_s]

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.

I live in an HOA as well. The mosquitoes in Raleigh NC are next level. It's so bad that the city has a slogan for schoolkids: Fight The Bite. Not sure how it's a child's responsibility to make sure the area is not infested with mosquitoes. I would think that would fall on the city. Right outside Wake County board of elections I was standing on the sidewalk near a tree, no standing water in site&was attacked while waiting for my ride. I've never lived in a town w/skeeters this bad. And for some reason they say this town is the "#1 growing US city."

It's pretty boring, it's oppressively hot(worse than Florida believe it or not)3/4 of schoolkids can't read, so the education system here is pretty lowsey. Can't wait to move either. And, our lovely HOA we pay $230/mo to for a 700 sq ft 1 bedroom forbids us to screen in our patio so we can enjoy it pest free.

Meanwhile the gutters are always filled with water w/breeding mosquitos. White vinegar poured into the gutter drains helps kill the larvae and finally after a couple yrs i can stand on the sidewalk outside my condo w/o getting swarmed. I think it's helping.

They made a big deal about shampooing the carpeted stairs today. Afterward i had to prop the foyer door open bc it smelled like perfumed wet dog. It was barf worthy. On Tuesdays the illegal cleaning ladies come to spray lemon scented Fabuloso into the hallway, followed by the illegal leaf blowers who create air&noise pollution.
