TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 16 -- The U.S. Postal Service said a mail carrier will not face penalties for delivering dog poop to a neighbor she accuses of failing to pick up after his canines.
Bruce Michaud of Tampa complained to the Postal Service last month when neighbor Toni Llauger, a mail carrier, knocked on his door while still wearing her work uniform and handed him a bag of dog feces, claiming they belonged to his dogs, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Wednesday.
Llauger and other neighbors claim Michaud doesn't pick up after his dogs, rather he mimes the motions with plastic bags and leaves the waste behind.
Vicki Plummer of the Postal Service's consumer affairs division said the fecal delivery was a personal issue because Llauger was not on duty at the time of the incident.
"Ms. Llauger has been instructed not to wear her uniform when conducting this type of personal business," Plummer said.
Officials said Llauger did not break any laws and will not face any penalties.
At first I was sort of rooting for the post woman. Like who does this guy think he is, we live in a day 'n age where you can no longer just let your dog shit and act like no big deal. Then I got to the part where it said "Michaud doesn't pick up after his dogs, rather he mimes the motions with plastic bags and leaves the waste behind" I must admit I started dying laughing and I completely switched sides. I am now onboard with Bruce Michaud. I have 100% done that move while walking my friend's dog. Just scoop the nice clean grass, maybe flash a quick queasy face, tie the empty bag, and leave the nice steaming pile of shit right where it landed.
A little tip to this Postal Service worker, when it comes to delivering a bag of dogshit, its light it on fire or bust. You can't just hand it to them.
