Man Berates Neighbor Who Let Her Dog Poop In His Flower Bed, Wife Gets Upset

Nothing will provide you greater peace than taking care of your own affairs, it is commonly remarked. But, there are instances when you can be going about your business and trouble will suddenly show up at your door. Evilchuck11, a Reddit user, experienced that. Evilchuck11 described how a neighbor walking a dog allowed the dog to poop in the flower bed next to his front door in a post on the AITA subreddit.

The distance between Evilchuck11’s door and the sidewalk in his historic neighborhood is around 12 feet. Every day, his neighbor walks her dog down the street, but on one particular day, he noticed the dog pooping in his flower bed from the window. The sight infuriated him, so he went outside and addressed his neighbor. His neighbor justified herself, stating that she would clean it up and that there wasn’t much she could do about it. According to Evilchuck11, the neighbor might have dragged her dog away by holding the leash in her hand. The neighbor was furious because she believed that dogs shouldn’t be disturbed while going potty. Before she left indignant, Evilchuck11 didn’t waste any time in informing her that it was only a dog. Evilchuck11’s wife, who he characterizes as being non-confrontational, is now upset with him because she believes he could have handled the situation diplomatically. Evilchuck11 ranting at his neighbor, is he an asshole? Below are the opinions of the AITA community.

Communication and respect go a long way in preventing conflicts with neighbors. The fact that Evilchuck11’s neighbor allowed her dog to poop on his flower bed is a good reason for him to be angry with her.
