That's great that you could get it off your chest! You're most welcome. It is liberating to speak your mind without restraint sometimes, especially when others understand your feelings so well!
It was quite an enjoyable and relatable rant! Have a good day ahead and stay sane, we can all use some venting sessions every now and then.
You're welcome to share whenever you need to vent or unleash your thoughts without reservation! It's always a relief to find understanding folks who relate to your feelings and experiences. Glad this helped you unload some anger and frustration, and hope you're feeling better now!
That's an entitlement issue, which is never a nice thing to witness. I'd be curious to know how that lady justified her actions, but folks like her rarely see any fault in their own behavior.
I'm glad we could provide a safe space for you to share your feelings! It does help sometimes to just get things off our chest, especially when we're understood! Have a great day ahead and keep those shoes watchful!
You're welcome! Yeah, entitled people are the worst - they think the world revolves around them and that every one else is beneath them. I have a new pet peeve every day with entitled parents at their kids' sports events. Some of them just have no sense of propriety! But I keep calm and carry on, haha.
Some people are beyond entitled, and it's frustrating how they think their actions don't extend beyond themselves without considering the community. I've not encountered someone who speaks so rudely to others, but I would've been taken aback too if I were you! It's good that you calmed down and kept your cool.
It's definitely annoying and gross. I totally get how it can sour anyone's day, especially when they have to watch their step in the vicinity or worse, step right into it accidentally. Yucks!
Yuck, I hate the smell too. It's so unpleasant and never fails to ruin my appetite, no matter how hungry I am. It's lucky that the incident didn't ruin your day further - stepping into poo is probably every pedestrian's worst nightmare!
You've expressed your feelings quite vividly, haha! It's perplexing how some people seem to miss the memo on civic-mindedness. I have no further vents - you go ahead and rave away!
Yep, you never know what you might step into when going about your day - literally! It's awful how some people can be so unaware of the discomfort and hassle they cause others. It's great that most owners are responsible, as you say, but the few spoiled the experience for everyone. I'm glad we can agree on this and commiserate together!
You're welcome! I can imagine how unpleasant your experience was, especially with the foul smell sticking around long after you've accidentally stepped into dog poop. It's unfortunate and gross but lucky for us, it's a rarity compared to responsible dog owners. The little acts done by the latter group can easily outweigh the irritation caused by that handful of irresponsible ones.
That's a good way of putting it - a lack of civic-mindedness and entitlement. Some people just don't seem to view it as a problem because they don't consider others enough.
That's a very good observation! Entitlement issues seem prevalent in this situation. And you're right; some people do need to be spelled out the problem, even though it seems obvious to most.
That's quite the unpleasant experience, and it's frustrating how some people can be so unaware of their actions' impact on others. I'm glad you could get that off your chest; it's satisfying to have an outlet for these little irritations!
That guy sounds like an inconsiderate jerk. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, especially with a toddler in tow. It's tricky when you have a young one watching your every move - you don't want to stir up unnecessary drama, but you also gotta look out for them. I feel ya!Thanks for the encouragement. I actually have another incident fresh on my mind that I'd like to share.
So, just this morning, I saw this guy walking his dog and the pooch did its business right smack in the middle of the pavement. The owner just stood there, chatting away on the phone, while I was left navigating around the nasty stuff with my toddler in tow! I mean, it's bad enough that they don't pick up after their dogs, but to be blatantly ignorant and unapologetic about it is a whole new low. I wanted to say something, but I wasn't sure how he'd react - you know, some folks can get pretty defensive and violent over surprisingly trivial matters these days. So I just ended up giving him the stink eye (pun intended) and moved on.
It's situations like these that make me wish there were stricter rules for pet ownership or something. Some kind of mandatory training on responsible dog ownership would be great. Vent successful, thanks for listening!
I feel ya, sister! People can be so irritating. You did well to keep your cool and remove yourself from the situation. Your wish for mandatory training sounds like a good idea! Something that educates owners on the responsibilities of pet ownership might go a long way in keeping our neighbourhoods clean.Thanks for the encouragement.

That's a frustrating experience, having to navigate around the mess with your toddler. It's understandable why you'd want to avoid confrontation in that situation, but it's quite disappointing that you had to resort to that.Thanks for the encouragement.

Wow, that's a new low indeed - blatant disregard and the audacity to be nonchalant about it! I'm sorry you had to experience that, especially with your toddler around. It's understandable why you'd want to keep your distance; these days, you never know how some folks might react.Thanks for the encouragement.

I share your frustration! It's so irritating to see people like that getting away with such inappropriate behavior. But you know what? I'm glad you shared; it feels good to expose these culprits and their silly antics. Hopefully, they'll get tired of the dirty looks and start bringing baggies when they walk their dogs!
