In Chicago when we say “curb your dog” we MEAN it! :rolleyes:
OK, I’ll admit it. I’m not a big fan of dogs using my yard for their needs but if I feel a need to escalate beyond a garden hose then something is wrong with me!
“You kids get off of my lawn” – now with teeth!
What a fruit loop. It’s not even like he has a nice lawn.
Having said that, “Next time you pull out a pistol, why don’t you use it?” is pretty near the bottom of the list of Things I’m Likely To Say To a Pissed-Off Ex-Marine With A Gun.
But, but… he won the south suburb’s beautification and lawn upkeep award!
Is it wrong that I think he should have shot the guy just for wearing that douchehat like that?
I feel like printing out this article and leaving it in my mailbox for my postman. 
The area I live in has very strict leash laws and most people obey them. Also, in all the parks and at the beaches they have free plastic poopey bags accessible every few yards so there’s really no excuse to not clean up after your dog.
With that said, I STILL see a few people that let their dog crap everywhere and then walk away without cleaning it up. There have been a few occasions when I’ve pulled a bag out of my pocket and said to the offender “Here you go, you must have forgotten to get extra bags.” They’ve taken the HINT and cleaned up their dog’s mess.
I also had a neighbor that let his dog come over to our yard to do his business. I finally caught him at it and confronted him. He said he couldn’t really control where his dog went. I then said that I couldn’t really control myself when I threw his dog’s poop onto his nice, pretty sidewalk. I was just returning his property, you see! 
Needless to say, it didn’t happen again. HeeHee! No guns needed…
This guy must have lived in the same neighborhood I did when I was in high school. There, someone supposedly once got hate mail for not keeping their lawn up to someone else’s standards :rolleyes:
And my parents wonder why I don’t want to live in the suburbs.
I did some landscaping half a lifetime ago, and I’ll never forgot this one incident…
We had a steady customer (Joe) who was, to put it mildly, a pain in the ass. We were a quick-n-dirty crew, and made no claim to anything else. We were inexpensive, and while we did a nice job, you weren’t going to win any neighborhood beauty awards off of our work. This guy always wanted a little extra work done, but never wanted to pay for it.
So, one day he tells us that his neighbor had gone away for a few weeks and needed his lawn mowed. Yeah, it certainly needed it – it looked like no one had touched the place in two or three weeks, and it was pretty badly overgrown. Ok, my boss told him a price, he agreed, and we spent an hour knocking through the bush.
As we were packing up, a car pulls in the driveway, a guy gets out, and wants to know what the hell were doing in his yard. We explain what the neighbor had said, and the guy blows up. Turns out Joe was just sick of looking at his neighbor’s overgrown lawn, and decided to get the job done for him.
We didn’t really care about the reasoning either way, the big question was “where’s the money for the job”. Joe’s neighbor said he sure as hell wasn’t paying for work he didn’t ask for, and I didn’t blame him one bit.
The whole thing ended with Joe and his neighbor coming to blows, the cops being called, and my boss having to take Joe to small claims court to get his money. Needless to say, we got rid of our worst customer that day.
Wow, that is simply ridiculous.
Yes sir, no sir, won’t happen again. Goes home and calls the police.
At least the kids will have the dog to remember their father by. They can rename it Darwin in his honor.
At least he had the decency to shoot the asshole neighbor and not the dog.
Asshole neighbor? How do you figure the guy was an asshole?
The dog urinated on his lawn and you think that is worthy of a man or a dog being killed? WTF?
No, actually, I don’t. In fact, I think the whole “you have to pick up dog crap” thing is taken way too far. But if you do have a problem with the actions, then at least recognize that your problem is with the pet owner, not the pet.
Why on earth would you make such an asinine comment? What could be decent about that? Nobody should have died, human or dog, over a little bit of piss on the grass.
I know this is a serious story about a seriously disturbed person, but I actually opened the thread because I saw this thread title “Not on MY lawn!” immediately following the thread, “WHERE was the most exotic place you’ve had sex?”
It made me laugh.
