When you make a big move, from a city to a suburb, for example, it's important to assess the neighbors and see what the vibes of the new spot are. When there is a dog involved in your life, it's all the more important! You've got to figure out who the annoying neighbors are, which of them complain about any and everything, and which complain only about real important issues. For one dude who recently moved from an area close to a dog park to a planned neighborhood, he discovered quite quickly which neighbors to avoid.
The original poster of this thread was taking his doggo out for a walk, getting to know his new neighborhood and surroundings, when his doggo found the perfect spot to stop and take a dump. Once said dump had been taken, OP naturally leaned down to package and throw away the evidence- BUT before he could finish with his disposery, an old grumpy neighbor requested that OP keep his dog from pooping on the neighbor's property. Look, it's a fair enough request, we just don't see the issue. Yards are meant to be fertilized, but maybe that's just the doggo-loving maniac inside of us speaking. Anyway, Redditors were fairly split on this one. From us, it's a moderate NTA, not a whopping NTA, but moderate.
Okay, okay, thank you OP, for the context. We get it, you are new in town and you are still assessing the vibes and seeing what feels right in your new and improved neighborhood. It's a process. It takes time, and a certain willingness to adjust.
It is clearly rude to leave your doggo's poop in someone else's yard, but OP picked it! We are just failing to see the issue here. Okay, to play devil's advocate, we guess the poop does leave SOME unpleasant residue in this guy's yard. But, but, fertilizer?
"I'm admittedly highly sensitive when a stranger scolds me (esp. because I consider myself very conscientious), but want to know if I'm in the wrong. I get that certain people take great pride in their lawns but this seemed extreme (and it was in pine straw so no risk of damaging any grass?)."
We do appreciate the willingness to learn and grow, we see you OP.
