NFT: Neighborhood drama WWYD?

pjcas18 : 5/8/2018 1:03 pm
or maybe WWYHD (what would you have done, instead of what would you do) if you were any of the three neighbors involved.

this is a true story, names have been changed to protect all parties. All the below are male.

Neighbor A: Hardworking, friendly, knows everyone in the neighborhood

Neighbor B: friends with Neighbor A, lives directly across the street, socializes with him, kids play, wives get along, etc.

Neighbor C: sort of isolated, lives on the fringes of the neighborhood, towards the main road, neighbor B does not know neighbor C, but Neighbor A knows Neighbor C casually.

Neighbor C's fence fell down, he owns a large German Shepherd that he used to let out in his backyard now needs to walk it while fence is being repaired.

Neighbor B works from home and his office faces the street.

Neighbor C is walking his dog and Neighbor B observes Neighbor C's dog take a dump on Neighbor A's lawn. Neighbor C has headphones on, but stops and looks at his phone while the dog relieves himself on Neighbor A's lawn. Neighbor B tried to get Neighbor C's attention to tell him about the lawn defecation but due to headphones Neighbor C doesn't hear.

Neighbor A gets home and Neighbor B goes across the street and tells Neighbor A, that Neighbor C's dog dumped on his lawn and Neighbor C left it there.

Neighbor A is pissed gets a shovel, scoops up the poop, walks through the neighborhood with the crap filled shovel and flings the poop onto Neighbor C's driveway.

Neighbor C sees or learns about it, comes out of his house with some kind of paddle or bat and walks over to Neighbor A's house and confronts Neighbor A.

An altercation ensues, law enforcement is called.

So needless to say the neighborhood is abuzz with talk of Poop-gate, not to be confused with the superintendent who crapped on the school track.

If you were neighbor B would you just have kept it to yourself?

If you were neighbor A would you have just picked up the poop and disposed of it? Or maybe considered talking to neighbor C?

And neighbor C? Is the the most to be blamed?

Neighbor a is right I would of done much worse

the altercation when the guy came back. their house is being painted so they were home and outside and heard the commotion and I guess in true 2018 fashion decided that recording the incident was the thing to do. to their credit they said they had no intent and did not post it on social media.

neighbor A is a multi-millionaire and takes impeccable care of his lawn. lots of people run and walk dogs in the neighborhood though and he's had issues in the past, so he has this sign on his lawn, under a tree, making it slightly less tacky.

But point is he's had this issue before and is one of those lawn zealots who spends a lot of time and money on his lawn.

He should go the next step and get a fence then , a nice picket fence or something wholesome
My father did what Neighbor A did  
RiffRaff : 5/8/2018 1:24 pm : link
but a little worse I think, but I'll let you decide that. In my dad's case, he witnessed his Neighbor C's dog take a crap on his lawn. This was in the 70's when dogs in our neighborhood in Rochester, NY could roam freely without their owners. Either way, my dad was not happy. So he picked up the poop with a shovel, and actually went to the door of neighbor C and rang the bell. Neighbor C answered the door and took a step out. At that moment, my dad said, "I think this belongs to you," and turned over the shovel to allow the poop to fall to the ground. Unfortunately or fortunately, it fell on Neighbor C's foot instead. A fight did not ensue because both gentlemen were both apologetic. My dad for dropping the poop on his neighbor's foot, which was not what he had intended, and Neighbor C for his dog's indiscriminate pooping on my dad's lawn.

Regarding this whole encounter, I think what Neighbor A did was fine, and Neighbor C is a gigantic lazy asshole. Plus I don't agree with eli4life, Neighbor B did the right thing looking out for his friend and neighbor. That's what we all should do for each other when we live in a community. Look out for your neighbors when the need arises. Wouldn't you want your neighbor to tell you if someone is vandalizing or damaging your property? I would.
Since I'm not an asshole...  
Mike in Prescott : 5/8/2018 1:26 pm : link
...Unlike most of the alphabet, If the dog went on my lawn without the owner knowing about it, I would a: clean it up, disposing of it properly. Then b: go to neighbor C's house and have a polite discussion and ask if he could please be mindful of the dog. Perhaps make a joke of it. Ask how the back-yard fence repair is going, and possibly turn an annoying, but not really tragic situation into a new neighbor relationship.

WTF has happened to the idea of manners and looking out for each other as neighbors? Seriously, what a bunch of selfish dick-wads.
Agreed with Mike  
Mad Mike : 5/8/2018 1:30 pm : link
Clean it up and then tell the guy - hey, your dog pooped on my lawn and you left it there. Don't do that again.

The first guy should have been paying more attention (if indeed he really didn't see it happen), but there's no need to shovel it up onto his driveway in retaliation.
If you ask me  
T-Bone : 5/8/2018 1:30 pm : link
Neighbor C is at fault. It was HIS dog that shitted in Neighbor A's yard. He should've been an adult and accepted the blame as far as letting his dog shit on Neighbor A's yard. I wish a dude would let his dog shit in my yard... and when I put HIS dog's poop in HIS own yard (whether it be the driveway, walkway or front porch)... he come at me with a paddle trying to do something.

Neighbor C fucked up. Own it and move on.

I agree. I'm conflicted, I grew up in a very different neighborhood, it was really projects raised by a single mother and we lived mostly by the "snitches get stitches" code. Not to be overly dramatic, but that's really how it was.

but now, living in suburbia, there is almost nothing that pisses me off more than finding a steaming pile of crap on my lawn. I don't let my dog crap on my own lawn, and I don't let my dog crap on someone else's lawn. No idea why, but it infuriates me.

So if I was neighbor A, I'd definitely want someone to say something to me. But based on how I was raised I'd probably mind my own business. Not sure. Like I said, I'm conflicted. I'd want someone to tell me, but not sure if I'd say something to someone else.

I definitely wouldn't be neighbor C.

How is he innocent? He let his dog take a crap on someone else's lawn and didn't pick it up. I don't know what the law is in that area, but in most communities around the country, if you don't clean up after your dog, you can get a hefty fine for it. It's illegal to just let your dog take a crap any where it likes. Cleaning up after your dog is one of the responsibilities of ownership. If you can't do that, then you shouldn't own a dog.

Neighbor B is not the worst. He was looking out for his neighbor and tried to alert Neighbor C that he should clean up after his dog because he knew Neighbor A would go ballistic.

Neighbor A on the other hand should have just thrown the poop out and then had a conversation with Neighbor C to please clean up after his dog. If Neighbor C copped an attitude at that point, then bombs away from then on out.

Ditto here. I like T-Bone's solution too.

pjcas18 - I hear ya about the differences in neighborhoods. Different cultures and norms to follow from each place. Where you grew up, keeping your mouth shut was a self-preservation thing, and completely understandable. Granted it does allow assholes to do whatever they want to whoever they want with impunity. I haven't lived in that environment, so it's easy for me to say that. I imagine if I had to live in the projects, my attitude / opinion would be different about it.

Hopefully things will cool down, and things won't escalate any further with these Neighbors.

Model4001 : 5/8/2018 1:49 pm : link
Years ago some lady kept crapping her dog in my folks' front yard, all over the ivy and sometimes near the flowers, and never picked it up. My mom saw her one day and said "can you please not do that here?" (my mom's too nice) and the lady made a face and walked away, but it was still going on the next week.

I was stopping by one day that summer when she happened to be there with the dog and I let her have it - "get your fucking dog the fuck off my yard, how about I follow you home and take a shit in your yard," that sort of thing. A bit of an overreaction on my part, but she never came back!

You have to provide benefit of the doubt to him 1.) Narc passive neighbor B to scared to shoulder tap him about the poop 2.) Maybe he really didn't know or see

Neighbor A should have then either cleaned it up one time and confronted the Neigbor C about it in the future , or instead of cleaning the poo and throwing it on the driveway, putting it into a paper bag, ringing the door bell, and saying hey I know this was your dogs poo, please don't have him Poo in my yard again bro, okay? Like a true Alpha male would do ..

Instead everyone became an emotional wreck and called the cops

Sounds like neighbor B sucks balls. And is a drama queen.

Neighbor A is probably an arrogant twat who thinks he is George Zimmerman neighborhood dictator. AT the least, he could have dumped the shit after bedtime and none the wiser.

Neighbor C is probably millennial selfish trash who thinks nothing but of himself. And uses violence to sort problems bc he is of lower intelligence.


Sadly there is probably one neighbor on this street who just wants to be left alone and doesn't harm anyone and gets stuck dealing w these people. Those unicorns do exist.

1) Neighbor A is an asshole who overreacted to a situation that is most likely an outlier. He should have at least inform Neighbor A of what his dog did and allow him to correct his error instead of going rambo

2) Neighbor B did nothing wrong except he should have ran out there to stop Neighbor A after he narc'd out Neighbor C

3) Neighbor C needs to be more considerate and/or attentive and he also overreacted to what Neighbor A did in retaliation. He could have defused it by contacting Neighbor A (after his stupid reaction) and simply inform him that it was a mistake that didn't require Neighbor to go full on Asshole

He's let his dog shit on my lawn plenty of times, and on a few of those instances, I ended up stepping in it. So I got a paper towel, picked up the shit, and left it on my neighbor's front step. After the second time doing that, my neighbor doesn't let his dog shit on my yard anymore.

A welcome byproduct is that the dog doesn't piss on my lan anymore either. Because I don't know what the hell is in that urine, but everywhere the dog pisses, the grass dies.

allstarjim : 5/8/2018 3:00 pm : link
I kind of think Neighbor B should've just addressed the issue right away with Neighbor C...given him a plastic bag and told him that you need to clean up after your dog.

And Neighbor C knew that his dog was taking a dump. He may have acted oblivious, but as a dog owner, you know when your dog is dropping logs.

Neighbor A, I feel, should have picked up the poop, tied it off in a nice plastic bag, went over to Neighbor C's house, rang the doorbell, and given him the bag when he opened the door, and said, "I think this belongs to you. In the future, please pick up your dog's shit, my lawn is not his toilet."

If you say it politely enough, everyone probably walks away, although neighbor C might be pissed, neighbor A has the moral high ground. He kind of lost that when he flung it at Neighbor C's driveway.

Neighbor C is clearly the most in the wrong, and is a jerk for not cleaning up after his dog.

deserve some blame here, but IMO, neighbor A gets by far the most blame. Neighbor C the second most, and neighbor B the least.

If a dog is constantly shitting on someone's lawn, the owner of course has a right to be annoyed, and should confront if they find out who is responsible. Here, unless I'm missing something, it looks like this is a one-time incident. Neighbor C should've kept better watch on his dog, but neighbor A acted like a psychopath and escalated way out of proportion. What's wrong with just going to Neighbor C's house (since he already apparently knows neighbor C), letting him know what happened. Most likely result would've been an apology and it wouldn't have happened again.

Seems like neighbor A would rather act like a tough psychopath rather than just resolve the issue.

Simple.

The guy who's dog shit on the lawn is the one who is most at fault. The neighbor whose lawn was shit on is also at fault for handling it like a child.

The middle guy didn't really do much wrong.

There's really no good that is going to come out of turning it into a poop flinging contest.

There's a spot around the corner from me where a lot of the dogs go - and unfortunately, every now and then, someone doesn't pick up after theirs.

One of the neighbors that lives over there thought it was my dog and decided to bag some of it and put it on my front porch, so I confronted him about it when he made some sort of remark about me making sure I picked up after my dog a couple of days later.

I held up the poop bag and said "listen, I know you threw the crap on my property - I've lived here for a while and always clean up after mine, so please don't do that again"

I could have just stormed over there and threw it at his house or at him but what's the point? He felt like a dick and apologized.

How the hell do you not see your dog take a shit. He more then likely had his dog leashless. It's just asking for trouble.

But sounds like neighbor B is the worst.

Followed by neighbor A

Neighbor C sounds innocent, however has a bad temper



Neighbor C is innocent? If he followed basic etiquette and picked up after his dog (no way you can walk a dog and not know its shitting) the whole thing is avoided.



You have to provide benefit of the doubt to him 1.) Narc passive neighbor B to scared to shoulder tap him about the poop 2.) Maybe he really didn't know or see

Neighbor A should have then either cleaned it up one time and confronted the Neigbor C about it in the future , or instead of cleaning the poo and throwing it on the driveway, putting it into a paper bag, ringing the door bell, and saying hey I know this was your dogs poo, please don't have him Poo in my yard again bro, okay? Like a true Alpha male would do ..

Instead everyone became an emotional wreck and called the cops

Sad


Good lord. When you're walking a German Shepard, you know when it shits.

hands down. Certified piece of shite that should be sent to North Korea or have his dog taken away.

A is ridiculous loving his lawn to the degree that he does and then being a low class dung slinger. Its a lawn.


I have a cashmere zoysia lawn requires tremendous maintenance with herbicide, fungicides, a little weed control etc. I put way too much energy and time into this part of nature. At the end of the day I know its only a lawn and if my neighbors kids play ball or have a party and someone parks on my lawn BFD. It grows back. It's life

PS I feel sorry for the dog. Send C to North Korea

you should hang up some block party flyers in the next few days with A and C's phone numbers on the bottom. Be the first to call and RSVP with some wings.

The person I would least want as a neighbor is B. The guy watching out his window all day and then tattling. If he really had a problem he could of gone up to the kid and taken off his head phones and fixed the situation. Or just pick it up. Be the change you want to see in the world, right? He wanted to stir shit but did it like a sissy.

Neighbor C, while justified to be angry, over reacted. Probably made worse because neighbor B was nagging him like woman the minute he got home from work about some other guys shit. Bag it and go knock on the guys door if you have to vent. He was least to blame but most likely has some anger issues he needs to work through.

Neighbor A is an ass, but maybe it was one of those times the dog poops twice and you have only 1 bag. As far as the bat he is definitely in the wrong. But he is also the type of crazy neighbor I'd rather stay on his good side and have him watching over my house.

They need to all shake hands, have a beer and be thankful it's just poop.

Dammit I confused A and C.

Are all dicks in their own right. B for snitching, C for being an ass and not cleaning up after his dog, and A for handling it the way he did.

Had B told me what happened and I was on speaking terms with C I would have said “hey bud, can you keep Kujo from dumping out on my yard if you don’t have bags for clean up?” I feel like his reaction was rooted in some other strong feelings he was harboring for the guy.
How is B a dick?

Because he ran to A and sparked the whole thing. Had B gone to C and said “hey I saw your dog shit on As lawn you might want to pick that up” it could have kept things from popping off. Instead he ran to A and said “Cs dog shit on your lawn and he just left it.” B was the escalator.

How the hell do you not know your gigantic dog just took a dump on someone’s lawn?! That’s a load of shit, no pun intended. And even if he did truly miss it, unacceptable! There’s no talking your way out of that one. The dude fucked up. I’d rat him out too lol. Fuck him.
Although honestly now that I really think it over  
djm : 5/8/2018 9:38 pm : link
I wouldn’t say a word unless it happened more than once. One time deal I’d probably let it go especially since I’m not that close with any of my neighbors to the point where I’d be talking to them every day.

But regardless the line that the guy didn’t know his dog was dumping is total bullshit.
Just some background  
pjcas18 : 5/8/2018 10:31 pm : link
on A, B, and C, from my perspective. New stuff I learned that maybe helps explain the motivation for B.

A is an awesome guy, well connected in the town, the kind of guy everyone knows and he's not an asshole at all in my experience. I belong to a gun club with him and he's a solid citizen in my experience. I think this was out of character. he does drink mich ultra's which is sort of feminine, but I can usually get past that.

B also a nice guy, and he's the neighbor who gives me all his old tools. He bought a chainsaw, without a tree on his property to remove a shrub. I said dude, just get some bypass loppers and a shovel, you don't need to buy a 22 inch stihl chain saw to remove a shrub. anyway, I now have his chain saw and weed whacker (he couldn't figure out how to change the trimmer line so he gave it to me) and had no use for the chain saw. He's very generous and always brings us vegetables from his garden, brings in our mail if we're away. He's generally a good person to have in the neighborhood from my perspective. My youngest is close with one of his kids.

B, I didn't realize had a history with A where his kids were walking their dog and B's dog crapped on A's lawn and his kids left it. Neighbor A didn't make a big deal about it, but he saw the kids just leave the dump there and in that case did the right thing because it was kids and he likes B.

So I think Neighbor B was trying to just trying to stay in neighbor A's good graces and didn't tell him to tattle (at least I don't think) I think he told him to say, see I got your back, I'm looking out for you. Apparently he tried to stop neighbor C, but he gave up after a short time b/c of the headphones.

Neighbor C I had only been nod neighbors with (when he drives by or I drive by or we pass otherwise we nod to each other), but he's got kids my older kids age and they said they see him at the gym sometimes and he's a monster at the gym. he doesn't seem obviously big or strong to me, but I guess I could see it. They think he would have kicked neighbor A's ass.

And that's the worst thing about this, while it didn't come to blows, it became public and it sets an awful example for the kids.

Anyway, thanks for the constructive responses. I was trying to figure out who was wrong, who was right, or just thought it was an interesting story to share.

None of these people have ever caused any issues with me, and the neighborhood is really quiet and a good community. In 5 plus years this is the only incident I ever know about happening and in the big picture it's pretty minor.

I have a backyard hockey rink and the whole street is there all winter. I don't even know some of the kids, they'll knock on the door (if it's a reasonable time) and ask me if they can skate if no one's out there and I always say yes and turn the light on, give them the nets, pucks, etc.

one of the neighbors hosts a halloween party, some of the parents congregate there the kids trick or treat and they have a bonfire and parents drink by the fire.

just a typical suburban neighborhood IMO.

Exactly. If it was a common occurrence then you rat. Otherwise that just seems petty.

very popular in new england.

rink in a box and nice rink sell them.

I made my own mostly (someone on here has an incredible one, maybe I am ninja, mine is basic).

I bought the brackets from rink in a box off a teammate from my men's league hockey team who moved and didn't have a good yard for it anymore. I made plywood boards (stripped plywood into three pieces), put up the brackets behind them, and every year I buy a new liner then flood it when it gets cold enough for water to freeze.

mine is 24 x 40 which is decent size, but not huge, you don't use real nets, they're like pond hockey nets and the kids are out there from time they get home until I kick them off. I have an outdoor flood light and I even have LED lights under the ice for the blue lines and red line.

it's a lot of fun.
Here is a picture  
pjcas18 : 5/8/2018 11:32 pm : link
it was in the front yard initially. most level place on my property. All I did after this was put the liner in and flood it. I had a fire pit and a couple benches to put your skates on.

And I agree with Tbone's way of handling it.

I've had a phantom shitter for a few months on and off and I finally came home to see who is probably doing it. Some woman with her terrier taking a piss in the same spot. Only dog that I've seen get walked on my street. I startled the two of them with my opening garage and they were forced to flee before the phantom could strike again.

Not that I'd say I'm beyond doing that, but I did start a bragging thread about my home rink right after I built it a couple years ago. And then someone (I thought it was I am ninja) posted theirs and it made mine look like garbage.

This is contradictory. If B took your advice you would not be able to act.

I haven't read all comments, I as B would go to C under the assumption that he wasn't aware of the defecation cause he was busy with phone or music etc (even if not true lets him save face) and have a discussion (hopefully he disposes of the poop).

If he tells me to mind my own business etc I would probably dispose of the poop and probably discuss with A and thus increase C's isolation as a poor neighbour.

...Unlike most of the alphabet, If the dog went on my lawn without the owner knowing about it, I would a: clean it up, disposing of it properly. Then b: go to neighbor C's house and have a polite discussion and ask if he could please be mindful of the dog. Perhaps make a joke of it. Ask how the back-yard fence repair is going, and possibly turn an annoying, but not really tragic situation into a new neighbor relationship.

^^^^^^^^^ This
When did we become a society that assumes the worst intent from everyone's actions? Clean the poop out of your yard and ask your neighbor politely to please clean up after his dog in the future. This shouldn't be an issue until at least the second time Neighbor C leaves his dog's poop hanging around.

WTF has happened to the idea of manners and looking out for each other as neighbors? Seriously, what a bunch of selfish dick-wads.
Another reason Neighbor C is an asshole  
Ron from Ninerland : 5/9/2018 12:37 pm : link
The OP said that the only reason Neighbor C was walking the dog is because his fence is being repaired. Lazy MF'ers like this should not be allowed to own dogs. A German Shepard is a large social dog that needs a lot of exercise and preferably some contact with other dogs and humans. Take him for walks, take him to the park. Just letting him out in that tiny yard isn't enough.
rat? snitch?  
PaulBlakeTSU : 5/9/2018 1:04 pm : link
that's ridiculous. Neighbor B is friendly with Neighbor A and saw douchebag Neighbor C let his dog take a shit in Neighbor A's lawn without cleaning it up. Why shouldn't Neighbor A be entitled to know who the asshole was that did that?

Did Neighbor A need to escalate the situation? No. Could he have handled it better? Of course. But this is starts and stops with Neighbor C who decided he didn't want to clean up after his dog and doesn't care about his neighbors' things.

I love dogs, but I hate people who don't clean up after their own or curb their dog in a city. It's so damn discourteous. On a related note, I can't stand when people just litter cigarette butts wherever they want. Such lack of respect or consideration for the neighborhood and community.

B should mind his own business and never should have gotten involved in something so trivial. It's one thing if it had become a reoccurring issue that A was trying to figure out the source of but by this description it was one time and he felt the need to inject himself in other peoples lives.

A's inability to control his emotions and actions makes him sound unstable. He greatly over reacted to something that, lets face it while annoying is far from something that any homeowner has not also experienced. There are grown up ways of dealing with it without acting like a lunatic.

C sounds like a typical selfish person who isn't even aware of how his behavior might negatively impact or anger those around him. His boorish behaviour put this entire ordeal in motion. But in reality there are countless people like him and both A and B handled the encounter horribly and as a result escalated the situation far beyond where it should have ever gone.
