Human Excrement

Totally agree. These are probably the same morons who poo half way down the curly slide at the park so that our kids get covered in it if you don't spot it...... Doesn't happen often but I've seen it twice and have had reports from other parents too.

I recently read an article by a leading psychologist who says that many of those few who defecate in public places are not simply desperate but may well be mentally unwell. Few joggers run so far from home that they cannot hold onto their motions until they get back to their house. This may be a recognised phenomenon of a mental disorder. Leaving faeces where it will be found, eg on a children's slide, is perhaps a call for help. Perhaps, therefore, this person needs help from a mental health professional.

I run 3 times a week, when I was a competitive fighter I ran 6 days a week. This is for the last 17 years and not once have I felt the need to do this. You how shall I put it, empty yourself before going because more than anything stopping during a run is nt good. Whoever did this is a horrible trouble making little scumbag who needs a damn good hiding.

That's true but the dog doesn't know its doing wrong, the human does.

People do not need to poo outside generally! Although walking my dog at the weekend I came across a pile of human poo with a soiled tissue next to it!

Completely agree re the dog mess Rich Kid. I have recently acquired a puppy and have been walking in all the 'dog hotspots' and have been shocked by how much dog mess is left lying around, tons and tons of it. I really don't understand it, many places, Austenwood common, Gold Hill, the alleyways, the green around the play parks, all over run with dog poo. It is disgusting and irresponsible, we are all educated enough to know that not only is it foul to step in, it spreads diseases. Prior to having a dog I complained about this problem on here having run my pram through dog poo on the pavement several times and was told in no uncertain terms that dog walkers are responsible and maybe it's fox poo, tripe. I'm one of you now and most of 'us' aren't responsible. Most people aren't even watching their dogs properly, chatting to each other, on the phone, etc. What can be done to combat this problem?
