ok, Sorry, I'am not that type of person to enter a discussion of this nature where one feels a "hurt" done onto them by another, and will not take the steps needed to remove the dung stepped on, from the bottom of their shoes since they will wait until Hell Freezes Over for the person responsible to capture the dog's do-do to arrive and do "the right thing" and clean the mess under your shoe.
For myself i will choose the path of quickest method available that will accomplish removal of stuff that will prevent me from a continuation of my journey thru life.
This attitude of mine to clean up after others is a direct result of my observations of what happens to those that refuse to.
So yes, stand you ground in front of that Dung Hill you observe.
Do not walk around it as a work around, nor pay you way over it.
But as you observed about you experience with it, it hinders you.
