One thing I've never understood...

Germany is a country that appears to spend a lot of time and money keeping things clean, particularly sidewalks, particularly by hiring people to actually sweep the sidewalks both night and day.

So why in the world is dog poop an exception? Seriously people.

I would much rather step on, say, a Bounty wrapper than dog shit any day, but maybe that's just me. And ok, if cleaning up after your dog is not a cultural thing, that's fine but maybe try to have them aim at the side of the sidewalk instead of dead center?
