Had an £18.00 25 minute job today. Good payers no problems. However, they have a dog crappy garden. They never seem to clean it up. Always a good weeks worth strew about. 

Avoided it today or so I though. Couldn't do the skylights because where I stand was covered. If they ask why I will tell. On reeling my hose in you guess it. That smell, my hands were covered and it was up the inside of the pole. Was under time pressure at the moment and I swore never to do the job again. Now considering it is a well priced job and they pay on the button would you dump or keep?

[Steven Shoreditch]

Dump being the operative word.

Dump being the operative word.

Indeed.

[Ross G]

yeah it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it

[Steven Shoreditch]

What about using their hose to wash and scrape it off your boots?  Could taste nice in the summer when they're fooling about in the sunshine and they play with putting the hose in their mouths.

[Richard Neal]

How about telling them? a lot of people just dont realise, not worth loosing a good custy if they dont even know there is a problem.

[Steven Shoreditch]

Sadly, their allegiance is likely to side with pooch not the low-down scumbag-chav window cleaner.  Trust me.  People value their animals more than humans.

[Tom White]

Dump 'em.  Dirty gits.  Dog poo is a health hazard and getting covered in the stuff really spoils your day.

Once you see the yellow of patches on lawn... go the other way.

I went to a farmhouse yesterday where the manhole cover outside the front door was gushing water out with bits of loo paper in it, i just went on to the next job.

[Newannaive]

same thing happened to me today!! grrrrrrrr 

[jouk45]

i have the same problem here, but do have to consider the snow has been laying here for nearly 6 weeks, it is thawing now, and i have never seen so much sh&% in all my life    mines fields not the word for it, most customers are very clean, but with the snow and ice at its hype could not go out with the dogs, not there faults really so have to bare with it for now, until they get it cleaned up,

[Londoner]

I have dropped customers in the past because of dog mess, several in fact.

Some houses seem to be unbearable, why do they let the dogs mess all over the patio? Other houses never a sign.

One house I dropped they didn't even have a dog but their front garden was an absolute quagmire, bit of a mystery that one.

[Neil Gornall]

I used to have exactly the same problem, didnt want to lose the job as it was a good payer.
In the end I wrote them a polite letter explaining the problem and the health issues involved, we came to an agreement that I would text them to let them know when I was in the area, they now keep it clean (for that week at least)

[Ian101]

DUMP without hesitation .... not worth it 

[Jackal]

iv got a couple of them im trad so if im careful its workable but as for wfp and your hose getting covered,i wouldnt care how much it was worth dump em or write the letter

Once you see the yellow of patches on lawn... go the other way.

yep.

[bobby p]

not sure why ,but that poop made by labradors that looks like gingerbread is the very worst

 one "grain " of that in the tread of a shoe will stink to high heaven for weeks

[davids3511]

Just to clarify, this customer knows in advance I am coming. I have to ring them the night before so they can leave the gate open. They are also aware it can be a problem because sometimes I turn up and they have put little plastic cones over the poop. Usually they don't have enough cones anyway.

That is another bonus of a hot system, you can get some anti-bacterial soap and give your hands a good wash.
