Lazy dog owners are being slammed in passive aggressive notes taped to lamp posts on walking routes.
And while some have shown their support towards the string of notes, others have been leaving "next level petty" replies under them.
Sharing the notes on Reddit, user u/Mick03321 wrote: "Someone posted these passive aggressive 'pick up your dog poop' signs in my apartment complex and someone else got next level petty with them."
The top notes read similar to "pick up your dog's poo" and "clean up after your dog", while their replies state "we ain't picking up a m'fn thing" and "pick up poop blah blah blah".
Most users have condemned dog walkers who fail to clean up after their pets as well as those who go to the effort of bagging up their dog's poo just to hang the bag on a railing or throw it in a hedgerow.

One user said: "I'm having this issue right now. There are lots of dogs in my neighbourhood and I don't mind if they poop on my front garden, but someone keeps leaving it! I always clean up after my dog.
"One of these days, I'm going to spend a whole day or evening by the living room window to hopefully catch the asshole who is doing this."
Another user added: "The scumbag who is leaving dog poo around is an a***hole and should have dog poo put through his/her letter box."
A third user said: "I’ve gone and made “signs' from sticky notes and little sticks to mark each pile of poop outside my apartment and left a note on the concrete saying, “please pick up after your dogs.
"I just carried rubbish to the bin and stepped in dog poo! As you can see, this volume of poop is insane!
"Left it a few days, and then cleaned everything up. I gave them all a clean start again but they continued to not pick the poo up.
"I finally, called management. It took monetary fines to make them pick it up."
It comes after a disgruntled homeowner taped an abusive note to their wheelie bin to stop dog walkers from using it to throw away their poo bags.
Wanting to put an end to strangers using their wheelie bin, the homeowner wrote: "I will find out who you are throwing your dog s*** in my rubbish. Shame on you take it to your home. Rude b****."
While there is no clear law against using another person's bin, it could be argued that it classes as fly tipping because you are not taking it home or disposing of it at an approved location.
Some owners have confessed to discarding their dog's smelly waste in someone else's bin to simply free up their hands because they couldn't find a public bin for miles.
One user argued: "My opinion is don't do it. Bag it, take it home or use a public bin.
"Nine times out of 10 it's fine in someone else's bin, but that one time means you've put it in the 'wrong' bin and they won't be able to have their bins emptied.
"Other people's wheelie bins are theirs, and importantly their responsibility, they're not there for your convenience.
"I don't personally ever use them as general public waste bins, and certainly wouldn't for 'offensive' litter like dog poo."
