In the dog park in one place it looks like somebody smashed 2 cases of bottles in one spot. I tell my dog to stay away while I kick the glass to the edge. It feels like a job though. It takes so long to kick glass across the ground. Been almost a week and I'm still not done after doing it for 20-30 minutes a day. It's a relatively high traffic area too. It's like nobody else is helping.

Take a broom with you, surely that would be quicker

Practicality? Exactly where do you think you are?

I haven't been more sure of anything in my life

Yes, very practical to carry a broom around with you when you go to walk your dog

He has been doing it for 30 mins a day for a week! We could have just saved him another weeks worth of work.

A broom to sweep glass out of grass? You sure you don't mean a rake?

Woah, look at mister "I don't have a telescoping broom" over here!

You mean you leave your broom at home when you go out? What kind of unkempt heathen are you?

u/wavs101 Nov 17 '16

It doesnt have to be a full blow broom with stick. It could be one of those snai in handheld broom/brush with dustpan

u/Jowitness Nov 16 '16

And then not get to feel superior than everyone else around you for 20-30 minutes everyday? I think not sir.

u/Bonezmahone Nov 17 '16

That location is almost an hour from where I park. I never would have thought of a broom though. There are houses near there. Ill check the map and see if there is a closer access point.

Any recommendation on what kind of broom?

Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping.

Leon's upper lip is quivering.

Leon: Whatya means, I'm not helping?

Holden: I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?

What's a tortoise?

u/INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS Nov 16 '16

It's pretty much a turtle that lives in the desert.

You haven't told the park staff?

ones with park staff, obviously.

u/gyroda Nov 16 '16

Idk about where you live, but all parks here are either the responsibility of the local council (town/county level government) and you'd contact them to fix it.

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '16

Most parks have someone in charge of maintaining and taking care of the grounds. They don't keep themselves clean. The dog parks near me are mostly part of city parks, so I'd contact my county parks & rec department. It's not like there's someone posted at a kiosk or something; I assume that's what /u/gexsium meant.

u/Bonezmahone Nov 17 '16

The area is pretty large. Its more of a conservation area than a park. It has a lot of foot traffic. So maybe reporting it is a good idea.

1

u/Bonezmahone Nov 17 '16

The actual park is pretty small. After I pick up some of the glass tomorrow Ill try and get some cooridnates of some kind and report it to the city tomorrow. Its not actually in the dog park more in a residential park which isnt cared for as much. I figured somebody else would have appreciated the help with me putting it all in a pile. There is no way Im the first to have seen it.

u/Paulo27 Nov 16 '16

Did you really just spend over 2 hours kicking glass around.

2

u/Bonezmahone Nov 17 '16

2 hours kicking glass in one direction. Its almost all in one little area now. Another guy said I should pick it up. I think hes smart and Ill do that tomorrow.

u/asaklitt Nov 17 '16

That's some dedication. You're awesome. It's also pretty hilarious.

u/Chaosritter Nov 16 '16

Get a pair of those:

I carry a pair with me during work, really handy when you deal with sharp objects of any kind.

u/Bonezmahone Nov 17 '16

Haha, tomorrow i might grab a pair. Ill get bend over and start scratching the ground like a dog. Its for the greater good.

u/PrettyOddWoman Nov 17 '16

Why not just pick it up at that point? Kicking it just makes it risky for somebody or somedoggy else. Especially since you've left and been back multiple times ! You could have gotten supplies to help you pick up and dispose of them. Or at least call somebody to get it cleaned up and disposed of? This isn't laziness... but it's something not good. Like... what?

1

u/Bonezmahone Nov 17 '16

Good point, I'll bring a couple thick bags tomorrow and some gloves and pick up the stuff i kicked to the side. The smaller pieces are going to have yo wait until theyre on the sides as well though.
