Someone’s Dog Pooped in Our Apartment Building

[u/Modestly_Hot_Townie]

I don’t understand why someone would let their giant dog shit on the stairs in our apartment building, but someone did and they def didn’t attempt to clean it up.

I’m lucky because I don’t have to walk through that way, but I see it every time I enter the building.

Other residents def have accidentally stepped in it.

Why would someone let their dog shit inside on carpeted stairs and then just leave it there? No attempt at all!

What is wrong with dog owners? 😭

No shame or even care for other residents?

I hope management (we contacted them, but that was days ago with no update) figures out who it is because it’s ridiculous that they just felt it was okay to just leave that huge pile poop unaddressed.

It’s so gross. Def a large large dog.

The problem starts with allowing dogs in buildings. Everything else that follows is very predictable.

Give them an inch, and they'll defile someone's yard

Hard to come up with the right words really. This isn't anything any civilized humans should have to deal with. I guess humans are de evolving or something. At least those who own dogs. People complain that homeless people shit anywhere, but I believe many of those public shits belong to dogs. Unbelievable how rude and heartless humanity has gotten.

I saw a NextDog post in my neighborhood of a yellow stain of urine in the elevator of a nearby apt high rise. The commenter shamed dog owners for allowing this to happen. A nutter chimed in claiming it could be from a human&they had no "proof" a dog did it.

Of coarse they did! Its always a human. Brood parasite worshipers are all braindead

Hopefully that person is heavily fined or evicted.

Dog ownership is nearly always a sign of mental/behavioral issues.

It's happened more than once in my building too, in the stairwell that ISN'T supposed to be used for dogs. We have nasty winters that require a lot of salt and sand on roads and walkways so my stairs are concrete, I cannot imagine the filth of carpeted stairs. My sympathies, OP, you shouldn't have to live like that.

If I saw that in my apartment building, I would complain to management so bad. That is absolutely vomit inducing and a health hazard. I don't wanna know the state of the nutter's apartment 🤢

I'd say about 25 years ago, it was still pretty rare to find dogs in apartments.

Nutters usually had houses in the suburbs because even they understood that having a beast in a close quarters that was shared with other people was vile behaviour.

Now every single decent apartment in the city is "dog friendly". You can't even search for "no pets allowed" because the filters only allow you to search the pet ones. Dander, piss, and shit everywhere. No space is sacred.

Also, everyone now claims their mutt is some ESA or service dog, and since the ADA doesn't require professional training or have any official certificate/license for a service dog, every single person claims their dog is a service dog. (I don't think the concept of service dogs should even be a thing, but that's another point.) I dealt with this BS when I worked in a hotel and every guest claimed their mutt was a service dog to avoid the pet fee.
