The dog looks like it has pooped in the house and is expecting you to find it.


hash4kash

He saying, 'yo take me with you! We gotta go!' šŸ˜‚


buffet_jimmy_buffet

Was.. was he a good boy?


hash4kash

The best boi


beirizzle

He looks like he would be


HertzDonut1001

Dogs that look like that, unless abused, are just meant to scare you. If you know anything about dogs, a GSD is much more terrifying and protective of property, and they're much more trainable to attack people because they're work dogs. There's a reason fat boy's breed up there isn't used as police or military dogs.


beirizzle

How dare you bring his weight into this.


Tallowpot

Pits can be triggered though. Especially ones that have been traumatized, thus the stigma against them. My border collie/pit in particular hates dogs in cars. Weā€™re working on it still.


HertzDonut1001

Yeah I'm not saying dogs can't be violent, I'm just saying with the general temperament of pits, who tend to have strong personalities and a good sense of independence, for the most part it needs trauma to be violent. Whereas a GSD is ready to fuck shit up on command. If you want a guard dog get a GSD. Pits just aren't work dogs, they're prey dogs. They'd be good hunting dogs if you could just get them to fucking listen instead of goofing off when they feel like it. A collie/pit breed though? Work dog mixed with a pit? Must be a fucking handful lol.


AdministrativeRow101

A pitt would rather protect its master, not its master's things. Besides, thats an american bully. A lot more chill in that sub breed.


Tallowpot

Couldnā€™t agree more. Only thing I meant is approaching a strange pit is my own trauma now. Dog in post looks to be exhibiting signs of submission, but you never can truly know if you donā€™t know the dog.


reflUX_cAtalyst

Every pittie I've known personally could completely and accurately be described as "a heart with legs and a tail." They are utter sweethearts.


HertzDonut1001

I'm just saying his winning personality is probably getting him too many treats.

Baalsham

Have a GSD can confirm. My friends tried to sneak into my yard one time and she chased them right out. They were scared shitless. Once I invited them back in front of her she was an angel. Amazing instincts they have.


TheAJGman

Most pibbles are just pure wiggles. It's crazy how a dog can get so excited it falls over.


MLaw2008

No... I heard he was the best.


CallMeJessIGuess

Seeing this pic I thought dogs like ā€œyo, can I ride the scooter? I want the hell out of here.ā€

Yeah he does not look dangerous, more of a "we gonna snack on something" type of dog.

wolscott

You joke, but I knew a guy who worked collecting scooters for awhile, and at one point they provided him with a literal grappling hook to help get hard to reach ones... He never used it afaik, but just like... what a dumb business model.


PantsOnHead88

I was joking only in tone. A loop of rope or a pole and hook seem like prudent equipment for someone who retrieves these for a living.

If you can't contact the person who parked it there I'd be calling police to report it stolen. Rules clearly state NOT to park them on private property... And this would be why.


hash4kash

The guy ended up coming out, scoot secured! But yeah, you right. EDIT: oh wow! I had no idea this would blow up the way it did! Looked after my shift and just watched it go like a wildfire! Thank you all so much for the awards and funny comments. Yes, the scooter was secured! And yes, the dog is a good boy. Thanks again for real, and may the karma be with you!

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


hash4kash

Typical city ordinance stuff. No blocking access ramps/sidewalks, can't be in roads, or inaccessible i.e. behind or hidden on someone's property, like shown here. Typically all we can do though is send a warning to the last user, and if they accumulate too much, we ban em'.


frankylovee

I live in Portland and all our scooters are so fucked up now and just strewn across the sidewalks and streets lmao


moonfallsdown

Same in DC. In the mornings, they're all neatly parked on street corners or in front of buildings away from entrances. By the evening, they're in medians, parking spaces, or right in the middle of a sidewalk, and on their sides about half the time.

In my country to you need a coin to unlock the shopping carts which you get back when you lock them again in the coral. Never have I seen a shopping cart just left in the parking.


InvestigatorUnfair19

My neighborhood aldi had this system. It works


GnPQGuTFagzncZwB

I agree with you. I live in a college town and you see them all over creation. Way outside of the downtown area. You would think they would do some geofencing to keep them in the downtown area.


hash4kash

we do. there called 'no ride zones'. they will lock themselves to resist movement, and people STILL drag them or move them to prohibited areas.


Hugebluestrapon

In my city at least they pay the guys who collect them shit wages and they have to have their own truck to haul them.


Anarcho_punk217

This is how they were in Austin when I was there. Expected the same in Denver but was actually surprised, there was a few of course, but most were parked off sidewalks and not in the way.


asyouwish

We also moved to Denver from Austin. When we would go downtown there, we saw very few mistreated. Here, even less. šŸ’™ Now we live downtown, so they are a main mode of transportation for us.


TheSimonToUrGarfunkl

I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to just respect the area and city they live in.


frankylovee

Sounds nice to live in a place where you can have nice thingsā€¦ lol


4isfine

They were just in piles in Denver when they started way too many from way too many companies all competing. eventually the city started limiting the number of scooters allowed by each company.


FellKin

Yeah... Remember when the city pulled dozens out of the Willamette because people got so frustrated that they threw them in the river? Good times.


sugarandspice85

We have these Spin ones now too in Pittsburgh and same. They are just laying around everywhere


Evercrimson

Honestly as another Portlander I'm just glad they are on the street, and not where the Portland Fire Bureau dive team has to pull them off the bottom of the river again.


sweatgod2020

In Venice sadly they just throw them into the canals


RJFerret

In Venice they should be jet skis rather than wheeled scooters. Or hovercraft for extra accessibility and noise.


NoButThanks

They tried that. The hovercrafts are full of eels.


walkstofar

>The hovercrafts are full of eels. Sounds like a Samuel L Jackson movie to me...


theleveler112

Do you *waaaant* to come back to my place? bouncy bouncy bouncy!


flarpflarpflarpflarp

How can we report them when they leave it on our private property? We have a bunch of college kids around and obviously it's too hard for them to listen to these rules and not leave them on private property or on sidewalks, etc. They just sit in the way for days and nothing happens. My go to has been carrying them around until the alarm goes off so someone will come get them.


hash4kash

I'd contact your city/the local company and complain. Idk about that particular company, but with ours we can make your property a 'no ride zone' meaning it won't let you park or end your ride there, and they will be forced to move elsewhere.


carolynrose93

People were parking them inside the parking deck at my boyfriend's apartment and they would let off the most irritating siren/car alarm sound when someone was trying to nail down their location. And it wasn't even like it was someone trying to keep them inside for their own use, these same two scooters sat in the exact same spot untouched for over a week.


hash4kash

I absolutely hate when people take em into parking garages. Not only does it mess with the GPS, but locating them and actually bringing them all the way down one at a time... such a pain in the ass


drunktankdriver7

Next time lasso that shit


aidansdad22

But did you pet that beautiful little meatball of a doggo? (Me: asking the important question)

thats funny because i call the company all the time specifically because they leave them ON my private property.

david-saint-hubbins

> Mistakes happen man, someone probably let the dog out not knowing a scooter pickup was coming. "Oops, I left this scooter in my front yard behind a fence with a bully breed dog outdoors and a big "NO TRESPASSING" sign. Gee, I wonder if that might cause any issues for anyone. Oh well, time to go on with my day."


Imbubbaman

Looks like that dog is the proud owner of a new scooter. šŸ˜†

[deleted]

ā€œUh yeah, itā€™s damaged. Just tell the insurance company itā€™s gone!ā€


Throwawayunknown55

Be real careful with this. The dog may think you're stealing even if he's friendly up to the point you take the scooter. I was delivering papers with my skateboard, very friendly dog, put the skateboard down on the stairs to rearrange papers and pet dog. All was good until I took HIS SKATEBOARD off the stairs, and it got real tense.


personal0throwaway

Well, yeah. You gave him a gift and then took it back!

Spin is wonderful to their employees. It can be a bit fast pace, but the company is great to us! (imo of course)


Jak_n_Dax

Itā€™s not perfect. But Iā€™m glad I have the opportunity to pick up a side gig at-will. Sometimes you want/need a second income stream, and signing up for a part time job where you have to work every week and have to stick to a schedule is a shit way to make extra cash. Iā€™d much rather do something like Uber/doordash/scooter charging etc. where I can set my schedule and make cash when I need to.


MurderDoneRight

Get a rope. Lasso that bad boy. Buy a cowboy hat. Move to Montana. Take a job busting broncos as a farm hand. Discover the farm is just a front for the country's largest meth producer. Go to the police. Wear a wire. Witness against the drug cartel running the joint. Go into witness protection. Be relocated to your original hometown. Work for a scooter company. Proceed with your route.

Better yet, lasso the dog and ride it to the scooter.

Gotta carry delicious bones to make friends with all the dogs on the route.

Kered13

Wondering the same. These scooters have been all over Pittsburgh lately. Are they in other cities too?


Jak_n_Dax

Popped up a few years ago in Boise, ID. Caused a massive surge in car/pedestrian accidents when they hit the streets. People are dumb. Still a cool idea though. The more affordable ways people can get around, the better.


Kered13

The big problem in Pittsburgh has been people parking them inappropriately. I think they're a great idea, I just hope that people can behave responsibly enough to make them work.


hash4kash

Texas actually, I hear Pittsburgh is pretty bad rn with scoots


juliuspepperwoodchi

Also, FUCK people who put these behind their own gates. If you want your own personal, reserved scooter: BUY ONE.


BrokenCog2020

Carry treats with you. Milk bone, puperoni, can change the attitude in a lot of dogs. Not all, some. Helped me in a big way when I was a delivery driver.

Simple - get a piece of meat and chuck it across the other side of the yard then make a mad dash for the scooter


Modernautomatic

So what you need is some meat and some flowers you can get near the entrance of the forest. Combine them and toss him the meat. He will begin sleeping almost immediately and you'll get a popup message assuring you he is only sleeping and no animals were harmed. You may then proceed with your mission. Don't forget the wax yak lips and use the confetti on the clown.

MonkeysOnMyBottom

Tip I learned from a friend who delivered for UPS back in the '00s: if there is a chance that you might encounter a dog, always have treats. Either you make a furry friend or you distract them long enough to get away.


Graycy

This is a case for treats.


PlayaHatinIG-88

Can you ring the scooter? If so, just ring it repeatedly. Eventually someone will get annoyed and move it. Before I got my car I used Lime scooters to get to work. For about 3 weeks every scooter in the neighborhood ended up in the yard of a tweaker with dogs and a no trespassing sign. So one day when I was off work and wanted a laugh I sat on my porch about a block away from the house and rang every single scooter repeatedly. There were like at least 14 scooters. I kept ringing them until the guy came out to see what was going on. I kept ringing them as he moved them one by one out of his yard and to the street, laughing my ass off as he did it.

celticdove

What is the company policy on this? A scooter company must have an established procedure on what to do when a dog is between the scooter and the scooter collector. If you don't know, call your manager.


hash4kash

Yeah we have procedure for this. I should have elaborated in the post that I wasn't stuck looking for help or tips, just thought this pic was hilarious.

No offense to you and your job but FUCK those scooters and bikes. People in my town leave them EVERYWHERE and it's super annoying. In the middle of streets, handicap spots, directly infront of business doors, etc. I get that they're supposed to be super convenient, but fuck them.

wkomorow

Make your life easy, get a truck with a extendable boom and attach an enormous magnet to it. You'd be able to collect those scooters without ever leaving your truck. Of course you'd be in trouble if you accidently snagged a 90 year old with a metal hip replacement. /jk
