There’s a baffling subtype of non-picker-upper of poop - the sort who picks up the poop but then leaves it, conveniently bagged, on an adjacent surface such as a park bench or a stone wall. WHY???? You picked it up, why not put it in the trash can? Is there a poop fairy roaming about collecting bagged poop?

Yes! I see that all over too. I’ve even seen people leave it at the end of other people’s driveways. Like, “I’ve bagged it. It’s your problem now.” It boggles the mind.

This! Great post---and so, so true. I could spend the next hour talking about the non-picker-uppers-of-poop that lurk in the courtyard of my lovely building. There are FOUR trashcans and a free and endless supply of poop bags, and yet there is always dog waste. Huh? Why? Huh?

Agree! And don't get me started on rude drivers. Today I pulled to the right for an ambulance, and the driver behind me swerved to his left to go around me and nearly collided with the ambulance.

Ugh, I know. I almost included something about drivers but decided there’s just too much. It would really need to be its own essay.

I look forward to the “Synchronized Tinkling” event in the next Summer Olympics (Winter Olympics weather would be too cold).

Yeah, if that event was held in the winter, it might be difficult for contestants to “give it their all,” if you know what I mean…

Let me guess. You live in LA or SF?

This was disgusting and hilarious. Some great quoteables. I think the fecal vigilante could be shortened to fecalante.

Disgusting and hilarious is exactly what I was going for! Those were great guesses but I’m actually in suburban Philadelphia. Our annual urine accumulation had been very low until recently. I love “fecalante”!
