Input: Just for a little context, I personally believe that dog owners should pick up after their dog because I like a clean neighborhood...but here’s my problem. 

Everyday when I get off from work (usually around 10:30PM), I take my dog out for a walk. I usually like to not have poop bags in my kitchen garbage so I walk  towards the communal trash bins to dispose of it there. My dog unexpectedly took another poop right when we were almost towards the house. I start to grab a bag to pick it up, but I couldn’t see where he had pooped. It was night time, the porch light wasn’t on, and my phone had died so I couldn’t use my flashlight. 

It was a long day so I was kinda like “ehh fuck it”. My neighbor saw me try to walk away from the mess and called me out. I explained my situation and told her I couldn’t see it. She then turned on her porch light, and what I saw was hundreds on dog turds on her lawn. This wasn’t little dog turds, but giant ones. My 20 lbs shiba’s mess  looked like nothing there. 

I told her it was absolutely ridiculous she’s causing such a scene when she had so much shit on her own lawn. She basically told me that this was her property and she was free to do what she wanted with it and that she demanded me to pick up after my dog. I did it of course but I thought she was nit-picking for no reason when her own lawn was covered it feces. I don’t understand how me leaving my dog’s shit on her lawn would even impact her life or her ungodly lawn.


TL;DR: My neighbor wanted me to pick up after my dog but her lawn is already completely covered with dog feces.

Am I the asshole?
