To be cross with this driver?

Deb Exactly the same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. I was just about to take out my little black plastic bag when a man shouted very loudly and aggressively from a van "pick it up"! Very annoying.

Slightly differently, a driver stopped at a zebra crossing and I crossed. Usually, I would acknowledge this but I had the dog's lead in one hand and a shopping bag in the other. As he drew away, he shouted "What about a thank you". It is compulsory for a driver to stop when someone is waiting to cross at a zebra crossing - on a driving test, a failure to stop would mean a failed test - and yet some drivers seem not to understand this.

Thank you all for calming me down. Soutra your response made me laugh; oh I wish!

There's nothing worse than being falsely accused - especially prematurely!

Pity you couldn't have lobbed it through his open window ( tied up of course) !!

Like you, I always have bags to pick up after the dogs, and would not ever leave a mess behind. But sadly, just too many dog owners do not care - and I can understand why many people get truly fed up with this. It is of course much worse in France!

DebnCreme, I know exactly what you mean, I have had that kind of thing happen to me and it is unsettling.
