'It’s disgusting and I shouldn’t have to deal with it': Woman reprimands neighbor for not picking up after his dog on her lawn, neighbors say she's overreacting

Growing up in suburbia has its many perks. There are usually kids your own age to romp around with, plenty of space to run rampant and terrorize your neighborhood, and usually, your neighbors are friendly enough that it feels like a real community. Even if there's one neighbor who is famously tough to deal with, it gives the whole neighborhood something to rally around. But there are rules to follow when you sign yourself up for suburban life. Respect your shared spaces, pick up after your pets, and do whatever else your Home Owner's Association requires of you.

When a new neighbor comes to town that doesn't respect the balance, the entire neighborhood ecosystem is put in jeopardy. People create factions, lines get blurry, and soon, it's hard to determine what's right from wrong, especially in suburbia when there's nothing better to do than to be all up in your neighborhood's business. OP is seeking advice for her own neighborhood predicament when her new neighbor refuses to pick up after his dog after the dog does its business on her lawn every day. Is OP right to speak up about it? Or is this something that comes with being neighborly? Read for yourself to decide.
