The Poo Avenger
Since we have a dog, I take a lot of walks around our Cambridge neighborhood. As a walker, it can be infuriating how many people don’t shovel their sidewalks and don’t sand/salt them when they ice over. It’s extremely dangerous.
I can understand that in our neighborhood, there are many older people. But it’s mostly wealthy families. Who apparently only melt the ice on their walks to their cars or their papers. I almost walked up to a porch and ice-melted a sidewalk myself—the container was on their porch, and the only pathway tended to was from the front door to the morning paper.
So I thought of an idea: the Poo Avenger. Drop bags of poo (in biodegradable bags, of course) on the lawns of people who choose not to clear their sidewalks for their neighbors. It’s nicer than calling the city and getting fined. On the other hand, if they never walk out to their sidewalk, then they’ll probably never notice the poo on their lawns.
Oh well. Thanks for the rant.
