Making Enemies

Why are people so disrespectful? Once again, I had to nicely approach someone walking her dog through our neighborhood and ask her to not let her pooch wander into front lawns. "But I pick up after him?" she said. "Yes, and we appreciate this. But your dog just peed all over this house's flowers," I said.

As the women walked away, I wanted to continue with, "Besides that, your dog should be on a leash." But I didn't. I'm sure she'll return tomorrow with gasoline in hand. She looked that mean.
