my neighbors

whoops, I was a bit offensive in the original post.  Sorry about that and I do apologize.

Sorry, don't know what to tell you about your neighbors.  I was just wondering how someone goes about collecting watery dog poo.

I was wondering the same thing! Have to put cat litter on it or something to make it...easier to pick up once it "dries".

But that is pretty freakin' gross! Have you complained to your landlord?

Edit: You could write an anonymous letter to every tenant, saying something like

"To whom it may concern,

Please put your poop in the bin and not on the fence or under rocks.

Thank you,

Distressed neighbor"

;D

yeah, I just can't imagine who would be putting that mess out there.  Nor can I figure out who would want to scoop up watery dog diarreaha with a disposable glove and plop it down in the next door neighbor's yard.  Like I said the neighbors on that side of the house are NICE--they don't even have rowdy teenagers and it's been fairly quiet on their side of the fence.  They do have a teenage daughter, so I don't know if she has some friends with a sick sense of humor.  Or perhaps the neighbors can't stand the white trash tenants living in this apartment & are doing this in retaliation--I'm certainly not white trash, so if that were the case, then the poo would have to be put in the front of the apartment building.  I'm just scratching my head about the whole thing.  Also, the neighbors who live on that side have one of those small Pomernarian dogs, and I don't imagine it would be having projectile diarreaha all the time.  It's such a weird, disgusting, and completely pointless thing for someone to be doing to the backyard.

What I really want to do is put up a motion sensor spotlight and a camera to catch this hooligan in action. 

white trash (you said that at least seven times), butch lesbians, unemployed bum, rowdy teenagers... maybe you arent coming off as friendly as you think you are and someone is playin you.

that is really gross but a motion sensor? seriously?

I didn't like the unemployed bum bit cause well I'm unemployed and I am no where near a bum!

I prefer my letter tactic, and if it still keeps happening and it's directly effecting you, tell the landlord/lady.

Or night-vision goggles.  Then you could sit at the window and watch your unemployed white trash lesbian neighbours.

So basically you only like people who are like you, "wholesome". Wow.

What does the fact that the couple living near you are "butch lesbians" has to do with anything? And who says they are any less "clean-cut and wholesome" than you are...?

That and repeatedly calling people you don't know white trash, and saying you don't like them (even though you don't know them) makes me think you are probably the judgemental and unpleasant neighbour to be around in this scenario.

 In that vein, why does it matter that the man in the front apt is elderly? Or the woman on the 2nd floor middle-aged? The couple, married? She was obviously just painting a picture of the situation. The "butch lesbians" weren't the only people she described...

Also, judgemental though she may be, it has absolutely nothing to do with what type of naeighbor she is. I'd much prefer a judgemental snob over an accepting savage.

Why don't you invite all your neighbors over for dinner and drinks.  Get to know them.  They'll be less inclined to give you s***.  Literally.

Until she turns her judgmental attitude on you. 

It's really hard to read beyond the racism, homophobia and class ism in your post.  You certainly won't elicit any sympathy; perhaps it's time for you to move. 

I was thinking along the same lines as watergirl and meryl when I read this post. Your description of yourself as "clean cut and wholesome" almost laughingly (if it weren't so tragic) juxtaposes your descriptions of your neighbours. Boy oh boy am I glad I'm not one of them. I certainly wouldn't want to live near you.

"lol...I hate my neighbors as well.  I live in a charming little town with cute antique stores, cottages, a park, and a post office you can walk to.  It's also a blue-collar town where most of the houses are well-maintained with manicured lawns, but the house next door might be white trash.  That is the case with my neighbors.  They don't necessarily do anything *wrong* (a.k.a. play loud music at 3 a.m., drink & pass out on the front lawn, nor do they sell drugs or doanything criminal), but they radiate low-class & white trash from their pores. 

In the past 3 years they have lived there, they have left a tanning bed on their front porch because there was no room in the house, a toilet under the carport in plain sight, a washer & dryer on the driveway, then this past summer they cut down some of the trees in their backyard, but instead of digging up the stump like a normal person would do, they put a circle of stones around it & are using it for a campfire.  Who does that in their backyard???  The father is unemployed, the son dropped out of highschool when he was 16, the daughter moved back home with her worthless boyfriend and all I have to say about it is that white trash seems to migrate to white trash because sometimes it's like a Nascar motor speedway convention in their front yard.

I just don't understand how someone can stand to live like that.  Why can't they just clean up & be respectable citizens?  It's not that hard!"

This is a quote from a post in an I hate my neighbors forum. So tell us please, how exactly does one " radiate low-class and white trash from their pores"? My guess is they don't own a brand new car and they do their shopping at Walmart right? Get off your freaking high horse. I bet you never offered to help them haul that stuff away did you. and FYI honey we used to have huge ass bonfires in our back yard they were a way of having fun and getting to know our neighbors.

What if they were all clean cut and wholesome like you and you still had wet dog poop in your yard?

Some people can make a problem out of anything I guess.

oh shoot, I do apologize...I read over my post again & I do come across as a high-horse bigot.  I didn't mean to come across that way.  Let me clean up my original post.  I'm sorry about that--sometimes it's easy to just type down your train-of-thought on the internet without realizing how it will come across to other viewers & I probably shouldn't have put in the descriptions of my neighbors when it really isn't necessary.  

Again, I didn't mean to come off that way.  Sorry if I offended anyone. 

It's okay tahiti - I do appreciate that you've readdressed this train of thought. And yes, sometimes when we talk things out or write them down in the "heat of the moment" they can come across less than pleasantly. Props for having enough insight to acknowledge this in yourself rather than get on the defensive :)

You know when we are really angry about something-- sometimes we vent in our choice of language and I can understand that.

I did not mean to minimize the problem. It sounds really disgusting and I would be upset seeing it too. But to be honest, I would try to put it in perspective and not waste too much of your time trying to figure it out. Though it's a nasty issue to be sure, it's not worth your precious time to get angry over.

Take care,

I pick up my dogs poo and tie it up in little bags and put it in the garbage. My insane landlords then go through my trash and toss the little baggies of poo in the street (there's no grass here) thus causing me never-ending dirty looks from the people living in the buildings around us. 

What's up with people and poop?

 Judge me. I couldn't care less. Smear poo all over my yard... that's a different story.
