We do too. We don't tend to find a lot of dog crap on the front lawn or poo baggies, which is odd to me. But what we do have, is idiots who don't know that a crescent means they can go 1/4 of a block up, and enter the crescent from the other end, thereby ensuring they can park on the other side of the road without having to do insane turns in the middle of the street. These same idiots figure they'll just whip a u-turn in the middle of the street and run up across the edge of our lawn, and our neighbors lawn, which ruins things much quicker than the dog doo does.
My other favorite is when they figure it's ok to whip into my driveway. Last year, my daughter had just pulled onto our property with her mobility scooter. I asked her to move it and leave it parked in our driveway, butted up against the tongue of the utility cart, because my husband was going to be loading it up that night to take it to the shop to check it over. Dudebro in a jacked truck came flying into our driveway right after she had parked it - she hadn't even made it back to the steps yet, and slammed on his brakes, stopped within 3-4 inches of the scooter.
I may have given him a bit of a haranguing on why that made him an arsehole. Yeah, I know, his insurance would pay for a new one if he'd munched it, but what if she happened to be on it the time he doesn't manage to jam on his brakes? People flying into and using our driveway to turn around happens so often, that we've taken to moving our green & blue bins onto the street in front of our driveway, pretty much daily, to stop people from doing what jackwagon did - they even do it with our car in the driveway - will be an interesting call to insurance if someone manages to rear-end our vehicles in our own driveway, lol. It's a hassle to move the bins, but it saves the lawns & keeps people from "accidentally" mangling anything in the driveway.
