The Midnight Crapper Has Been Apprehended!

YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS.

The elusive Midnight Crapper has finally been caught brown-handed (I know that’s gross.)

You are NEVER... EVER… going to believe who it was.

So I’m sitting there eating my waffles Sunday morning, and I see a white dog take a dump in the grass and walk away...

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my breakfast to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.


I looked out to see who was at the other end of the leash...

Lo and behold...

IT WAS THE PROPERTY MANAGER OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.

Are you kidding me?!??! This is the same woman who I emailed and talked to on the phone about the problem back in the day when it was happening right next to my front door. And now SHE’S doing it in the grass right in front of the building?!?

This is the view from my dining room window… SO OBVIOUS!


So now I don't know what to do. Confront her? Contact the corporate office? Send another email to the office and pretend I didn't see her do it?

I could just play dumb and complain again to her, and pretend I didn’t catch her.

I'd be like "Hey i know I talked to you about this before, and it stopped for awhile, but someone's dog is crapping right outside our door again..."

What do you guys think?

OOOHHH… SUCH DRAMA!

2) I would conftont her. Start out with something like, "Hey, I couldn't help but notice your dog took a crap in front of my house while I was eating my waffles!"

3) Seriously, someone needs to check their medication.

Back to the issue at hand. Find her car and deposit the offensive evidence in or on the vehicle. Okay, I probably wouldn't really do that, but it would be sort of satisfying. Personally, I'd take it up directly with her. But that's the type of person I am. It depends on what type of person you are. Maybe you could secretly mail her some of those doggie poop bags with some literature about picking up after one's dog. We could mail it from here so she can't connect the address/stamp.

4) I agree with BeanCounter37 - wtf?!

This calls for a passive aggressive note.

5) First, Denny is Danny. Now Betsy is Leslie? Can you guys please let me know when you change your names so I can update my Christmas card list!

6) I woulda ran outside and confronted her when it happened.

I would go confront her personally and let you know you caught her. If she doesn't resolve the issue, you will have not choice but to take it to higher management.

She should be setting an example, not crapping all over her job.

7) Wait, let me get this straight. Was it her dog or her?

9) I wouldn't care WHO/WHOM was taking a crap outside my dining room window, but you'd better believe if I watched it happened, my ass woulda' been out the door to confront the crapper faster than you could say Eggos!!

11) Since you have already complained to her -I would take it to higher management. She obviously has no respect for her renters or her job.

12) I'm a very non-confrontational person but this would goad me into some action. If you choose to remain anonymous, maybe type a letter and seal it in an envelope and stick it to the office door. I know it would feel better to confront her but it's your word against hers and she could make your life miserable. If you are more in the confrontational mode, I'd ask her if I could come by, sit down and tell her what you saw and ask if that isn't against policy. I think the more belligerent you are about it, the less you will be heard. If you go at it calmly and with a concern, perhaps she will listen and explain why she doesn't have to abide by the same rules as the rest of the tenants. If she can't, then tell her you will take your concerns to higher management to get their response.

I agree about this confusion of names. It doesn't take much effort to look at the top of the screen to respond. I'm horrible with names and forget who said what all the time but I can move to the top of the screen to respond with the correct name--or keep my comments to myself.

13) That's messed up.

14) I'd go directly to her and hand her in writing an account of what occurred. Tell her that unfortunately you were left with no option but to send a copy of the information to the director of the management company. Be sure to document the fact that you reported prior incidences to the woman not knowing that her dog was the perp.
Angie- beancounter is confused. I haven't commented at all today.
Shoo-you are hilarious!

15) I'd set up a camera, video the act and send the tape to the corporate office.

16) I would put the poop in a bag, give it to her and say 'hey you left this by my door'

17) Can you do a Billy Madison flaming poop in a bag thing? I think she'd get the hint...

Or maybe I've already been around teenagers too long.
