So, we pick up poo 3 times a day. If we walk our dogs, we bring with bags to clean up. We lived in RV parks for many MANY years, so this was a must.
Well, in our neighborhood, we have several NON poo picker uppers, and one very disrespectful neighbor across the street.
One year, I believe it was back in '06, we did not have rain here in Tucson for almost 9 months. We were not here, we were traveling. Upon our return, we drove into our neighborhood to find hundreds of poo piles circling the entire neighborhood.
Now, let me point out that each home has 1 acre, and there is 60 homes in our "u" shaped neighborhood. Imagine my embarrasment to think of our neighborhood as being the "poo" neighborhood?!
Lisa was very angry about this. In front of our acre there was at least 20 piles (since we were gone traveling for many months). We soon discovered that there were about 5 non-poo picker uppers, and confronted them about it. There response was "well noone else cleans it up". The worst part is that these were not young adults, these were poeple in their 40-60's. Also, the neighbor across the street just lets their dog "rosie" run around the neighborhood. Many people believe she is a stray, but she isnt. So she gets fed by other people in the neighborhood. They don't even have to feed her! So, she is one of the dogs who poos in our front yard.
After the confrontations, we have noticed that the poo is less in our frontyard, so I pretty much think it is rosie at this point. So finally after some good rains, the poo has been washed away (we live in the desert, and when the monsoons come all the water flows in very large washes). But we still see poo, to this day. Why are people so disrespectful? Did they not notice during those 9 months that there were hundreds of poo piles? Were they BLIND? Or did that just make them feel better that they were not cleaning it up? Also, note that their front yards were poo free. Hmrph.
