As I move around the city each day one sight is a constant. People standing next to their leashed dogs as the dog takes a shit. Not something I want to see and probably not something the dog wants me to see either. Credit to the owners though as they always clean up before moving on.
Now heres my problem. The aftermath of this incident is that tons of people are walking around with a bag of shit in their hand! When our paths cross and we stop to talk, what's the etiquette for this? Do I ignore the fact that you have a steaming pile of shit hanging in from your hand in a see through bag? Or do I say, "hey Pastor Ron, that's a nice bag of shit you've got there."
What if it's my cute neighbor? I know she's very recently reached down and glommed her hand onto the dog logs she's now carrying. So I should .... what? What if I briefly stare at the bag of shit and look up and she's staring at me?
Is this an issue of a societal dignity regression or simply me being disgusted by shit?
