Got to work yesterday and nearly dropped the bike (again) as my foot slipped, I assumed that was due to the recently painted, shiny concrete floor, gathered my belongings, both feet sliding around like mad, and trudged up into the office. And there I discovered what was lubricating my boots so efficiently had been a thick layer of canine excrement.
Ever had to clean dogshit out of the soles of TCX boots? Crap squishes into that ultra-fine tread pattern with the aim of staying there forever. Took me half an hour with a bottle of bleach and a bogbrush borrowed from one of the work loos. And then I took the brush and bleach down to the basement carpark and decontaminated the footrests, brake and gear levers... and the surrounding area which looked like Mr Hanky had paid a visit.
So, it's probably been listed here before, but what Gets My Goat is: dog owners who let their mutts shit anywhere.
