What REALLY grinds your gears?

[Chico23231]

I have 22 trees on almost an acre...folks that's a lot of leaves and most are oak. I'm in Quality control at work so speed, efficiency and quality are always on the mind, this year took me 15 hours and actually did a little more on one side of the yard I usually don't.

Needless to say leaves are grinding my gears today. Such a tedious task

1. ppl who dont pick up after their dog. you are a POS person if you do this.

2. espn's odd obsession with showing highlights of rich white kids sitting courtside over-celebrating a play.

the only time you find me bragging about trees are the kind that are found in a jar.

My favorite is when people walk past our house and don't realize I look right out the window when watching TV and can see you do it. One time (admittedly drunk) at around sunset, we saw a neighbors dog dropping a giant deuce a good ten feet onto our property. I put on flip flops, grabbed a paper towel, walked outside, picked up the shit and said, "Hey, wait a second!" and dropped it right in front of them and walked off. Should have thrown it at them.

No one likes these neighbors anyway, so I was willing to deal with the awkwardness after that.

chico - i have so many empty jars i dont know what to do with them.

malcolm - almost exact situation. i have an end townhouse and along the pathway next to my house there is a ton of dog poop, same size (medium) and consistency etc.

a couple weekends ago im watching tv and through my backdoor i see a medium size dog take a squat kinda on my property kinda not. the guy has no indication of picking it up. i walk out and ask if he needs a bag. he says no and produces one.

2 days ago, i had a medium size poop right behind my car.

today i walk out and there are 2 medium size poops within 5 feet of my front door (def on my property).

i dont know what my response should be. i could easily smash this guy but at 37 im not trying to go that route. i could put all my dogs poop on his front door but that is just asking for a continual cycle of poop related retaliations.

ive decided (if i can pull this off), to approach him in a friendly "hey neighbor i have a 3 year old, there are a ton of kids in the neighborhood, can you please pick up after your dog".

pretty sure when i catch him i am going to curse him and probably punch him. once.

or my dog "fights" other dogs. maybe i should open the door to say something and just let my dog run out ....
