You're taking the dog for a walk in the woods. The sunlight dapples on the path, birdsong fills the air, and you inhale the sweet aroma of pine resin. The world is alive, and so are you.

Suddenly, a new scent alerts you to the fact that Fido has laid a stinky brown cable in the middle of the path. Do you:

a. Bag it up and put it in the nearest of the many dog waste bins provided, like a functioning member of society.
b. take a stick and flick it off the path into the undergrowth. It's basically just Deliveroo for dung beetles, and no one's going around bagging up fox shit are they?
c. leave it and crack on. Bit of a selfish dickhead move, but saves you handling dog faeces, and you will get home 2min earlier and might catch the last frame of the snooker.

or, do you go for maverick option d...

Bag the shit up, in the bag you purposely brought with you for that very purpose, probably getting a bit of hound turd under your fingernails in the process, and then carry the warm stinking bundle a few hundred yards, before hurling it into a bush where it will fester until the plastic rots down to shit-stained polluting microparticles.

If you choose d, you're a twat.

Anything other than picking it up and putting it in a bin means you’re a twat. Not everyone else is happy to live with dog shit everywhere.

don't disagree fella, but at least with the other options there's a certain selfish logic to it, even if it's just 'I'm an antisocial lazy bastard'. It's the going to the effort of bagging it up and then lobbing it that fucks me off most, just makes no sense at all on any level.

Not where I thought this post was going in the 2nd paragraph tbf. I thought the new scent was gonna be somebody smoking weed. Possibly one of the worst smells known to man and instantly makes me feel sick! At least back in the day people used to keep it under wraps and hide to smoke it. Now its everywhere. Really turns my stomach.

Id genuinely rather the smell of fresh dog shit fill my nose than the horrible smell of weed! Is there an option E) for bagging up and binning weed smokers?

Also, the council fine people that fine you for dropping rubbish/not picking up dog shit....
Maximum fine for not picking up dog shit is £800. Maximum fine for littering is £1200. So in picking up the dog shit (you've done the hardest part) and now littering the plastic bag containing it, youre actually risking a bigger fine!

I don't disagree but I've been out with my young nephews who like to run around and inevitably end up falling over, they should be able to do so with the risk of falling into a pile of dog shit.

Never have understood that! They’ve literally done all the hard work by picking the shit up! Just push yourself a little bit further and put it in a bin!!

That's grim. Though it's probably because if the couple said they'd had a bereavement they'd get a load of shit from some of the dickheads who comment.

Adverts. It's utterly out of control.

Every single streaming service has a basic service crammed with adverts, and you have to pay extra on top of what you're already paying for the service to get rid of them, and EVEN THEN there's always ADVERTS FOR OTHER SHOWS/MOVIES ON THE SERVICE at the start!!

Tried to watch a show on Amazon Prime yesterday. The show is 25 minutes, there was a 2.5 minute ad break before the show even started, a 2.5 minute ad break 8 minutes in and a 2.5 minute ad break 17 minutes in. Live tv was never this bad, and no they are not getting another £4 a month off of me, I am all in on this.

Tried to watch an eight minute Youtube video. 60 seconds of adverts at the start, another 60 seconds two minutes in, another 60 seconds five minutes in, 30 seconds seven minutes in... And whilst the video was playing, a little pop-up window of ANOTHER advert in the bottom-left-hand corner! How can you have both unskippable adverts within the video AND a pop-up advert in the video itself???

I was ranting about this last night and then ordered some DVDs. For YouTube, Firefox and an ad blocker will help you out; unfortunately, Chrome disables most ad blockers now.

I've never got on with Amazon Prime, you pay for the service but every search will show you a mountain of options that you need to rent/buy/subscribe on top of that, get fucked. Netflix has its issues but I know where I stand with that, if I can see it I can watch it. I've got the basic one with ads but it feels like they've not got round to including the ads on a lot of stuff yet so it's still bearable for now.

I cannot stand it either. I bit the bullet and paid for YouTube premium - I actually find the music platform to be pretty good.

The constant adverts everywhere does my head in. Even watching the ice hockey here yesterday, and they cut to adverts several times during a period of play.

Takes me hours to get to work now. There's no common sense used.

Leamington isn't great at the best of times in rush hour but it seems they've decided to have roadworks simultaneously on every route coming from the north side.

Think its due to them using up the budget before they have to submit again for the new financial year... like mosy budgets, if you dont use it, you loose it!

Putting an offer in on a property and it gets accepted. Knowing I need a quick sale. No chain eitherside. Cash sale. Property empty for over a year. Chasing Documents for over 7 months. Turns out the owner is in arrears on his mortgage and didnt have a plan in place!

What the actual F@*K!!

Went for a walk with my other half on Saturday as there was no game. Went round Wyken Croft by the river and noticed some had slipped in a big fresh one. We both said something along the lines of how would you miss that one.
Went round the corner a little further up and another couple were stood on the grass with her desperately trying to get the shite off her shoe.
As wrong and horrible as it is, it was still amusing.
