I am really getting sick of this.

"curb your dog": remove your dog's feces when it defecates in a common or public area.  (also, curb your dog at Urban Dictionary)

The development where I live mandates the removal of dog feces from common areas, and even provides free "stations" around the community that provide the necessary tools to do so (small garbage bags, etc.).  It's too bad that even though this is stated in the homeowner reference guide and strategically-placed signs around the community, people still choose to ignore this and let their dogs crap all over the place without picking it up.  Or, people do stupid things like take pine needles from the landscaping and put them over the feces:

Dog Crap

This DOES NOT HELP.  It's stupid, and it makes more of a mess.  Yes, that's right in front of my porch.

I'd wager a guess that roughly 2/3 of all dog owners do their job, are considerate of others and the cleanliness of the community they live, and clean up after their dogs do their thing.  However, that 1/3 ought to be ashamed of themselves.
