As a humble expat immigrant, I quickly learned that it is extremely un-Swiss to leave dogshit lying around. I appreciate this to no end, especially because I come from what I believe to be the dogshit capital of Europe. Another thing I have learned, which I also dearly appreciate, is that Switzerland is very friendly to folks with limited mobility. I understand there is always room for improvement, but again, coming from where I am, what I see here is amazing infrastructure. Now, I am not a dog owner myself, and I am fully capable of walking, but I ran into a corner case. For the past few months a man in a mobility scooter has been walking his dog through my corner of paradise. I don’t know how far the man’s disability goes, and I fully understand that this is none of my damn business. But the dog is fully ahem abled and leaves the regular amount of poop behind, which the man does not pick up. This is a typical Naherholungsgebiet right under my window, and I do see other folks regularly tut-tut-ing, or whatever the Swiss name for it is, at the droppings. If you will allow a crude joke, the whole area looks shitty. How does one address this? I’m of course terrified of direct contact (full integration here, I guess), but I do wonder: do such folks just get a pass? Or is it time to search for places that can laminate paper and write a passive aggressive note? submitted by /u/new-to-zurich
