REPORT IT!
I cant stand littering

Like the rest of you, rubbish being thrown from cars (incl cigarette ends) really angers me. I like the idea of reporting it on the link above but
does anything really happen when you do so???

I did actually find that website to report it and did fill it out, however it doesn't ask for the registration of the car, so I don't
really think they do anything about it, I think they just want the information for statistics on where the litter is being dropped.

I see this continually, everything comes out of car windows.... it's also the bottles full of urine that come from multiple occupancy vans that
are quite frightening.
You can try and legislate morality, the Bliar ASBO was the usual type of response, but most of the readers here will have had this instilled in them
at an early age. I guess the Me-Me generation don't give a.... as usual.

It seems as perfectly reasonable course of action once you've wasted time cleaning poo off your kids shoes!
We have a neighbor who's dog regularly crapped on my front lawn, even though it was on a lead! told the owner to pick it up, and next time I saw
it happen I would shovel it up and put it through his letterbox, tries to shrug it off and walks away...
Would love to have seen his face when he found his dogs turd on his hall carpet and the mess round the letterbox!!
Hasn't happened since, and he walks a different route now.

Pete, my sister and I did exactly the same thing to a neighbour who used to open his front door, and let his dogs do their business on very ones front
gardens
His dogs never got let out again !!
He was a nasty piece of work, and a complete cnut, so im sure he never knew who did the deed to him,
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

I read a story about a runner who did just that. He was wearing some sort of gloves so he picked it up and shouted "hey love you've
dropped something"
She turned around, held her hand out, and got it filled with poo. He just carried on with his running.

these are brilliant stories!!! I can't stand dog owners who don't clear up after their dogs!!
If you're not willing to pick up the little brown parcels then you shouldn't be allowed to own a dog!!! SIMPLES!!
Even when our dog had the "runs" from eating apples off our tree (doesn't happen that often now thank god), I still tried my best to
clear that mess up and I carried water with me to rinse it away as best as possible.
Here's my little story...It's only happened a couple of times, but when I'm out with our dog and I see people not cleaning up after
their dogs, I just walk over to them with a poo bag and ask them "have you run out of poo bags because I've got plenty spare if you want
one"..........so far they've all claimed to have "just used their last bag". They have however taken my poo bag............but
the looks on their faces when they realise I'm not going to move on until I've seen them pick it up is priceless!!!

What about me today.....
Driving to work and a mother pushing a push chair on the path up ahead, with her other little darling about 20 yards ahead of her. So I move to the
middle of the road, because I hate to see young children on the path next to the road by themselves.
As I pass the little cherub turns and throws a stone at my car. I slow down and reverse up to ask the mother if she thought it was acceptable ? She
first said she didn't see him , rubbish, then obviously is embarrassed, then gets all defensive. "he is only 4 blah blah blah".
Well if he is only 4 years old, then you should have him under control near a road.
Unbelievable attitude

What I don't understand is why some of the people who do bother to pick up their dogs poop then proceed to hang the bag off the nearest tree or
hedge like some sort of brown and smelly Christmas tree decoration.
Does this happen elsewhere or is it just the idiots around where I live?
I still like Ronnie Barkers' line about walking down the street and picking up a small brown Richard the third, placing it on a wall .... and
then watching it fly away.
