Anyone have neighbors that pretend to "scoop the dook?" but it's just for show?
Hello everyone. I am new here and mostly just read, but I have a question that I wonder if anyone else has encountered? (sorry, long)
I live in a townhouse, and there is a large grassy area in front of our house. Many people walk their dogs through the complex, and there is a rule to scoop the dookie of their animals. Most do. But Friday, I was in my office and happened to look out the window and was watching a woman with her dog while he was squatting out in the large grassy area doing his "thing". She had one of those blue plastic bags that newspapers come in on her hand, so I figured she would scoop; she didn't. She walked away like nothing.
So now I know the blue plastic bag is a ruse. It only exists to take the pressure off of her when the HOA lady from h.e. double toothpicks sees her walking her dog so she can say "see I carry a scooping bag, it's not MY dog leaving a mess". I know I will probably get flamed for this, but I KNOW her dog did his business, because I went and scooped it (kids in the complex play out there, they don't need to step in that).
So yesterday evening, I was sitting outside with my husband and a friend and here comes the ruse scooper and I recognized her from Friday. I opened my front gate and pointed and said to my husband and friend that "that's her, that's the ruse scooper" quite loudly. She then picked up a piece of garbage she had just set down in a neighbors lawn and walked swiftly away. Of course after a few beers, my husband and friend were laughing, but I found it rude that she is a pretend scooper. She hasn't been back in the area, presumably because she was exposed.
Does anyone else have a pretend scooper in their area and how do you handle it? Please no suggestions of scooping it and putting it on her car (the thought crossed my mind, trust me, but, two wrong scoops don't make a right). The HOA woman is a horrid human being, so as little contact that I can have with her is best, but, I also don't want to have neighborhood kids playing out there and having to deal with that either.
If you made it this far, thanks for letting me vent.
