We live in an upper apartment and have neighbors with dogs right below us. For the most part they're fine, the dogs bark once in a while but never at a time (like late at night) that's bothered us. However, we have noticed an increasing amount of dog poo laying all over around their/our apartment.
There is a strip of grass right outside our apartments, between the building itself and where the parking lot starts. We have to avoid walking across it since we've stepped in dog poo more than once.
Then, just last week, I was going down our stairs (which are outside the building) to do laundry and saw this "pile" at the bottom of our stairs. I wasn't sure what it was at first; it had rained a lot that day, so at first I thought maybe it was a bit of mud. I paused to look at it and one of the people living in the apartment below us walked outside, saw me, and said hello. I looked up and said hello back, and he looked down, saw what I was looking at, and said...
"Oh yeah, they do that all the time."
Then he grinned and walked past me, without so much as an apology.
I mean, SERIOUSLY? There are also lots of piles of crap laying all over the cement slab outside their apartment, which is also where our stairs lead down to. Now we not only have to watch our step in the grass, but also on the sidewalk.
Finally I got fed up and called the leasing office. They are going to send someone over to talk to the people and tell them they need to clean up after their pets.
The guy I talked to at the office also told me another dog-poo story they recently had to deal with...a couple living in an upper apartment had a dog that they would leave out on their patio during the day. The dog would do its business and the people would take buckets of water and wash the poo off the side of their patio...where it would land on the patio of the woman living below them. It turned to sludge, and got into her apartment under the patio door or when she opened the door!
Really? I mean, how inconsiderate do you have to be?
