    Moved into a new house, excited to meet neighbors.

    Decide to take the ole 10 y/o pup on a stroll.

    Dog ends up having one of her more "anxious" poos on a lush lawn.

    As I'm cleaning up, owner comes out and I say some quip about her, ready to introduce myself.

    "You need to make your dog learn when to shit, and it best not be on my lawn."

    👀

    "Alrighty, well I'll keep that in mind"

    "I taught my dog when and where to shit, and it wasn't on lawns."

    Repeated, told him have a good one, and continued on. He kept trying to get me to (I guess) admit fault, and I just kept repeating as I cleaned up.

    Haven't gone by that assholes green pasture since, and definitely just assume people with that kind of lawn suck.

    As someone in the mid-west: Lawns are nice to keep out insects and weeds. Clover is also nice.

    Mowing a lawn clears out flies like you would not believe.

    My dirt has not been visible for almost 9 months. Milk thistle and rag weed are my bane. I don't dare step into my front yard without overalls, gloves, and a face shield.

    On the other hand, I appreciate how my 7 foot weeds provide a shade barrier to keep dirt moister and cooler, for the water table.
