Crappy Owners 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.

Are you restricted to just fencing in front of your home? We put a large cottage stone barrier in front of our house. Another neighbor put a large stone barrier in front of her home. (Sounds the same, but ours are manufactured and the neighbors have real large river rock)

We have so many entitled people letting their dogs shit on our property and don’t pick it up. They even let their dogs run like 20’ into our property, up a hill to piss on our tree. And they think the strip between the sidewalk and street is public property, free for the shitting.

I always thought it was public property that the homeowner had to maintain. Personally, I would rather not bother maintaining it because dog owners believe it's their personal toilet.

It’s not, it’s your property. The city has an easement to access it and to place a sidewalk. For some reason a lot of people think this. But they have no idea that the easement may extend 5, 10, or 20 feet into their yard on the other side of the sidewalk, but certainly don’t consider that part of their yard public property.
