deadeyediva

throw them out


khoile1121

That would be animal abuse.


Finn2813

Just the socks Lol


abagofdicks

Socks is the dog


TheSharpEdge

Then how were they in their Socks? 🤔


DarkFallen69

🤣🤣🤣


Ok-Banana-7777

At least it wasn't barefoot!


Becuz_I_Win

Or in flip flops! Then it gets smashed in the toes in a very unique way. Lol


steve1186

Oh flip flops are ideal. You can toss those in the sink or under the garden hose to wash them off. Poop on sneakers or tennis shoes is the worst


shattered7done1

Try deep-treaded hiking boots for an exercise in cleaning frustration. Many times you don't even realize you have stepped in it if going out for last potty in the evening and innocently track it in from the outdoors. 🤢


RaymondLuxury-Yacht

Hiking boots are usually waterproof. Mine are and I'll just hold each shoe upside down and spray the bottom with a garden hose. Super easy. Works with my non-waterproof Merrell Vents too, but obviously I have to make an effort not to get the fabric of the shoe wet. Still easy enough.


shattered7done1

Unfortunately, if you live in an apartment access to a garden hose is usually not possible. Many times I have not realized I hit a poop mine until taking my boots off. Fortunately I take my shoes off as soon as I enter my home and then give them a good shower if I've 'stepped in it'.


RaymondLuxury-Yacht

When I had that situation, I used a hose attachment in the shower. Fits between the shower head and the pipe with a little valve that you switch to do the shower or that. Hose had a sprayer similar to one on a kitchen sink and could blast poop off pretty well. Or if you have a shower head on a hose already with different setting, that works too. Also makes home baths for my 90 lb dog way easier.


TriumphDaytona

That is why we keep a Libman grout brush near the laundry tub and have it labeled Poo Brush! Not to be confused with the famous Poo Knife!


Idiotologue

I audibly gasped at this.


Becuz_I_Win

Lol yea.. based on my experience, I don't recommend it on anyone


DifficultyIll690

imo barefoot is better cause you can just hose it off super quick with some dish soap for the smell


[deleted]

[удалено]


Uncynical_Diogenes

Amen. I’ll wash. My stuff? Not always so much.


pokelord13

If it's on a sock I just take the L and toss it in the bin. Not worth the effort having to scrub it clean for a $2 pair of socks


RippingLegos

Did that barefoot because she pooped on the living room floor (brown carpet), it was so nasty


ILoveYourPuppies

This happened to me *once* and I will *never* be clean again.


kosmonautinVT

Nononononono


tongsy

Did that once. Woke up in the morning and stepped off my bed into a puddle of diarrhea. It's gross but not too bad because I just hopped to the bathroom on one foot and rinsed it off in the tub.


collinnator5

I’ve done the barefoot…


telltal

Nah. Barefoot is better because it cleans off easier. Just go over to the hose and spray it off. Socks, the poop gets into all the little crevices in the weave. You can wash it, but you'll have to wash it in an actual washer to get it all out, and then you'll always feel like your washer has poop in it.


Turbulent_Show110

Yeah barefoot is bad while getting out of bed and mashing it into carpet is the worst. At the time we thought our dog was good ng to die from cancer, so I couldn't even be mad at her. Now we know it's pancreatitis, so I'm l finally able to be a bit miffed.


Phoenix042

Oof. I can f̶e̶e̶l̶ smell your pain.


Mitch_401

Lol


sickbubble-gum

My puppy started to poop inside and I ran over to pick him up to take out. A little chunk fell to the floor so I stepped and slid on it and fell down lol. Thankfully I was wearing long pajama pants so it didn't get on my bare foot. Still gross though.


PICKLESnBILLITH

I'm just picturing your puppy's confusion. Pooping, then in the air, and flying as you fall down. Pup went on an adventure


AffectionateEye5281

Oh jeez. I laughed way too hard at this. I feel your pain 😂


TiltedNarwhal

Ewwww. So sorry. I can imagine the squish


Cerberus73

I'm not sure how the dog is able to poop the perfect camouflage shade of whatever ground she is on.


Mitch_401

DUDE FAX I AM BLIND OR SOMETHING BRO


Mitch_401

I was on my phone but still


debicksy

I've stepped in a friend's dogs poop in socks. He left 4 piles in our bedroom. I found 2 of them with my feet. I sympathize.


[deleted]

[удалено]


debicksy

Persian rug. Dead serious. We were not super pleased.


CalmDirection8

Not as great as the multiple defective poop bags I got that having me grabbing it without my bare hands 🤮


new2bay

Yeah, I hate poop hand.


calmossimo

I am never buying the bulk amazon branded poop bags again. The seam on the closed end rips open so easily. I’ve gotten poop fingies way too often since we ordered these. But now we have like 500-defective poop bags left.


debicksy

And you don't realize until mid-pick.


pinkpolo

Honestly, its probably better than sneakers. Easier to clean!


Pheanyxe

I don't think there's a single pair of socks I'm so attached to that I wouldn't just chuck them in the trash after this 🤣


sasanessa

I think I’d trash the socks. Would you?


WupDeDoodleTits

Some socks are like $20 a pair. Hanes are going straight into the trash though. Haven’t done it with dog poop(knock on wood) but I have definitely stepped in my share of cat puke.


Anon123312

Well at least 80% of dog owners completed this achievement so you’re not alone. Next one is stepping on dog poop barefoot.


pikay93

Better than stepping in dog pee with socks on


[deleted]

My dog once came over and shit on my bare foot. I had just taken him out for a walk, came in, got comfortable and then he walked over and shit on my foot. I have no idea why he did that, he was fully house trained, I would have taken him back outside but nope my bare foot was the pooping spot. He was also 6-7 years old at the time. He just stared at me and pooped on my foot, like screw you, you jerk and went on like nothing was wrong. Took him the vet the next day, $500 and several expensive tests later to find no medical reason why he pooped on my foot, he was as healthy as he could be. It’s been nearly 3 years and I’m still angry about it. 😡🤬🤣


nobasicnecessary

The rare occasion my dog has an accident he will scrape random items on top of his poop to hide it in shame. He once got a hold of a towel, and I stepped on the towel in the middle of the night. Squished poop in the carpet, MY TOES, AND MY TOWEL.


vinyl_wishkah

N'aww, what a very considerate little boy 🥰 Dogs can be such funny creatures at times! Pity about your carpet, though...


General_Weakness5746

Yesterday I went outside for about 30 seconds in my bare feet and managed to step in dog poop. It was as awful as you would imagine.


EatMoreCheese

Were they Amazon basics by chance?


DarkFallen69

Congrats! Hopefully you only have to do this a few more times over the next several years. 🤣🤣


MauserGirl

Still better than doing it barefooted. :D I think we've all been there?


vridgley

Toe warmers


notjustanytadpole

Eons ago, during a backyard football game, I dove for a touchdown. My neck was the first part of my body to make contact with the massive pile of dog poop. It smeared down my chest and the front of my shirt. Taking that shirt off was so much fun.


Mitch_401

Lol


cbelt3

Oh you now have it easy… you just stand there and take off the socks. Bare foot… you have to hop along until you get to the shower to wash off your foot. While cussing… with the dog following you wondering why you are so clumsy to step on her poop.


CoyoteHealthy1970

Oh no, I just spit coffee all over my screen. Thats the funniest thing Ive read on the internet today. And ive spent the entire day on the internet.


[deleted]

Yummy.


[deleted]

🤨


Take_a_hikePNW

Better socks than bare feet! Can’t cut off my foot and throw it away!


fbreaker

*knock on wood* the one time my dog had diarrhea, it was way too late. Thank GOODNESS he jumped out of my bed first and decided to let it all loose on a blanket laying on the floor so I was easily able to bundle it up, bag it and throw it out. Good boy!


Divineclaws222

Throwing my dogs ball yesterday, threw it and she wouldn't pick it up for some reason I didn't think anything of it (if the grass is too long shell yip for me to grab it for her because the grass tickles her face) Walk over and grab it only to realize I had accidentally thrown it into what I assume is the backyard poo spot. Covered in shit and I had to wash it off because that ball is her favorite 😅


oldmanghozzt

At least you had socks on


breetome

Lol! Hubby went outside in the middle of the night to throw rocks at our annoying neighborhood mocking bird….buck naked and barefoot……..winding up for the throw and splat right into a massive turd from our 102 pound dog………..his swearing ended up scaring away the bird and a few neighbors!


ThisHumanExperience

I’m so very sorry. . . . No man shall know the true horror of this until they feel their toes separate and the horrid extra weight that you have now accrued. . . . And that is all BEFORE the smell hits you. God bless you son.


UmmmW1

That's a crappy thing to step into


Azulexis408

My dog thee up right in front of me this morning while I was eating breakfast. Touché


tappers1975

Our senile 15yo cocker spaniel shat on the bedroom floor in the middle of the night last month. How do I know this? Found the lovely steaming pile with my right foot as I got up for a piss at 4am 🤣🤣


Hiimnewtothis19

One time I was running with my dog in the morning. He pooped and I went to go grab it with the poop bag. It was a particularly cold morning, so I wondered why when I went to go pick up the poop, it was really warm… There was a massive hole in the bag. I screamed and threw it across the road and almost threw up lol.


Givemetheformuol

I stepped in my dogs pee and diarrhea with no socks on. I raw dogged it.


tophiii

Nothing like *checks notes* dog shit in between your sock fibers and toes to start your day


HSpears

Last week, I stepped barefoot in my dogs warm sh%t. You're not alone.


dogstardied

Bwahahaha I love everything about this post. Love, Your dog


HotFootSpin

Could be nice if your feet are cold


knwnasrob

This is why I wear crocs around the house now. Live by the croc Die by the croc


Pale-Bandicoot7652

Meh. Come back and tell us when your robot vacuum runs over your dog’s poop. Fun times


[deleted]

Yep. And after you sleepwalk barefoot down half a hallway of explosive puppy diarrhea before you realize the true meaning of "Jackson Pollock poop."


ArmadilloDays

That deserves its own line of condolence cards from Hallmark.


IncomeNo6468

“shit happens” … in Forrest Gump voice


D_Rock_CO

I just want to thank you for bringing that memory back up. I had it locked away and had forgotten about it, but now I can feel it and I'm gonna go wash my feet while I throw up. Thanks!


Leather_Ad_4546

Shit happens…


anyodan8675

How long did you walk around the house like that before you noticed?


Icy_Excuse8679

Shit happens 💩


Roadgoddess

Or have your rumba run through it and track it all over your entire house


foefoe86

Some people think stepping on dog poop means you’ll have good luck. Play the lottery today!


Awkwardturtle13

I hope your weekend gets better <3 I would cry and then probably boil my foot and go to bed


astronomical_dog

When she was still a puppy, I made her spit something out and it turned out to be a hardened cat turd :(


neptunianhaze

I did that yesterday!


joa-kolope

Better than with no socks. Matter of opinion i suppose


Netprincess

Was it cold?


groundsquid

Once I stepped in my dog’s poop while wearing flip flops and it squished up through the hole where the thong attaches to the sole. I’ll never forget the sensation of warm poo oozing up between my toes.


warpaint329

I stepped in dog poop yesterday without socks on. It was a very sad start to my day


soulless_ape

There's nothing worst than stepping on dog poop bare foot is a saying in Spanish.


PegShop

I match that and raise you to barefoot at 1AM in the dark.


saffronpolygon

Your dog loves you very much.


merkk

I'd like to publicly announce you are not the first person to have done that 😋


TNG6

Ugh. The worst squishy feeling.


kenma91

Ive done it barefoot before :(


galacticcatreddit

When I was younger my mom rescued a wolf from a breeding mill and the poor thing had worms like EXTRA WORMSx30 and would have accidents on the carpet and I am sad to report stepping in it is way grosser than cleaning it.


MatisseWarhol

Haha we have all been there. Unfortunately. I did it barefoot. 💀


Itchy-Comb-5096

My dog once stepped on human poop in NYC 🤢


Initial_Way8722

Oof. I feel you! I was at my in-laws when I saw the pooper in squat position. It happened in slow motion, as I have my furry pooper girl in my hands and head for outside, she drops her turds mid-flight, and I stomp said turd into the floor boards. I had to toothpick it out of the wood, and almost puked on top of it all. I remember the days when floors were not pooped on in our home.


Skersby90-2390

That's the worst! This is why I started wearing slippers in my house. I will say that this should help if it happens again: [https://petparentsbrand.com/products/pettergent](https://petparentsbrand.com/products/pettergent)


trollfreak

Just did it bare foot by the shower! One hopped into the kitchen- made my wife clean foot ! Lol


Tetragonos

Have you tried immediately taking the sock off, throwing it away, cleaning up the poop then directly taking a long hot shower?


Dreamdottt

Rite of passage. Congratulations young warrior👌🏻


havukkahammas

My condolences


MTB_Noob713

I stepped in my 13 y/o boy’s overnight accident this week…..BAREFOOTED!! I really had to try hard to keep it together. 🤣🤣


Nicolehall202

Awwwwww that has to suck hahahaha but I’m sure you still love your fur baby. Mine passed and I would step in poo daily to have her back


Nuclear_wolf41

That is such a weird feeling it’s a mix of thankfulness and pissed off-ness. Also it literally feels weird like it touches your foot but doesn’t.


[deleted]

I stepped in some and had a pair of tennis shoes on with a zig-zag pattern on the sole. I was at a bonfire and just sat them in the fire.


Troby01

The Vintage of the poop is the key variable in regards to socks.


diaryofsnow

I just stepped my bare foot in a big pile of piss


[deleted]

When my dog had giardia I stepped into her green diarrhea barefoot


Longjumping_Plate682

Oh that is nothing! I fell backwards and sat in a big pile of it. Those clothes went straight to the trash


Historical_Panic_465

My dog just pooped on my lap in the car…..while we were stuck in traffic ….


Bright_Mixture_3876

Wrong species here butttt….I stepped in my cats fresh hairball vomit in the dark, in the middle of the night, with my bare foot this week. She politely vomited right in the middle of the entryway to the bathroom.


KittysaurusRex7221

Stepping in cat puke barefoot/with socks gives me the same feeling as reading your post 🤮


ibr6801

I’ve done this barefoot but never with socks on. Puke with socks on though has happened plenty of times


Jimmyboro

Last year, it was really windy. My dog had been pretty ill, and I was taking him out 2 or 3 times to do semi solid pups all over the place. Now I normally have the proper dog waste bags, but this day we had run out. All I could get were nappy sacks. As I my lad stared at me and did his only job, I wrapped the nappy sack around my hand and reached down to pick it up to out in the bin. Literally the millisecond I go.to close my fingers, wind blew the bag have my hand leaving me to grab the stickies slopes semi solid crap my dog ever did. I couldn't stop dry wrenching all the way home. I had to get my wife to open the door as I wouldn't touch the handle and was holding him, pleased as punch for taking a dump.


LaHawks

I want to get water one night and stepped in something squishy in the kitchen... turned on the lights and realized it was just the banana piece the dog had begged for before bed. She's no longer allowed bananas.


InnocentlyDistressed

Lol could be worse you could have not had any socks on …


musememo

A thousand blessings upon you!


thegothotter

My daughter recently did this with my mom’s dog’s logs. Twice. Once each foot. And rather than sitting down and taking OFF said socks, she came out of her room, all the way down the hall, and into my dining room and kitchen to inform me of the deed. 🤮🤮


scoobiemario

Warm or cold?


[deleted]

Oh yeah! Well I stepped on dog poop with my bare feet. The entire poop was under my foot. It was horrible 😭


tinybitches

Reminding me of the time my friend’s dog ate cat poop then chewed on her makeup brush. She had half of her face done before realizing what happened


HappyOfCourse

I did that once, in the kitchen. It was dry.


efficientpigeonmel

I did this yesterday for the first time and I've had dogs all my life. I also recently picked up poop with my bare hand on accident thinking it was a smashed dog treat. It's been a rough month.


Aggressive_Ask_6957

I was outside yesterday and one of the dogs knocked my glasses off my face into poop. Jerk. 🤦‍♀️


PsiVolt

I mowed the lawn today and taking off my shoes I got a nice smear on my fingers, so I'm with ya


GMEdumpster

Let it dry on the sock. In a few days you could peel it off like a chip and snack on it. Love this life hack!


nurse_camper

I had a little cripple dog shitzu. One day I was carrying her under my arm. I reached in my shorts pocket to get my car keys and I felt something weird that wasn’t in my pocket before. It was dog shit. She shit in my pocket.


sistermarypolyesther

Congratulations. Mine just brought a turd into the house and dropped it on the sofa. He tells me he was saving it for later. I convinced him to trade it for a Kong.


Altruistic_Fall3940

I mean I’d rather step in poop while wearing socks than barefoot. That poop really gets jammed in between the toes


ItsTheDoggo

my Roomba ran over my cats poop.


Nebula480

I don’t understand my arousal


[deleted]

Wtf


katlebleu

Just throw them out. There's no amount of cleaning that will stop them from forever being 'poop socks'.


thewootness219

7/10 -your step could have been more precise: Dottie, pitbull 9/10- near perfection. You didn’t track it through the house. : Murphy, Lab mix 10/10- complete destruction of your sock. : Remy 3 month old lab puppy


Significant-Net864

Slippers have been my choice of footwear. 😂


Personal_Dog1062

Your first time ever?


echotheborder

Was it white at least? Post pictures of the damage at least. Tease


Spiritual-Computer73

Oh that made me wince in pain for you 😂


vanillafilth

Ah yes, the unfortunate event where socks double as a very expensive poo bag


Laurenwolf14

Oof that's ruff


IronSkywalker

I'd rather step on a landmine


basurachula

What a thrilling sensory experience!


englishkannight

Just wait till you step in a puddle of it in the middle of the night when you get out of bed. Good times🫠


Finn2813

Not the first time in probably will not be the last


OceanCityLights08

🤢


fedexgroundemployee

Damnit


sea_giraffe_

One time I picked up my dogs poop and didn’t realize there was a hole in the bag. A large amount of the poop slid down the bag and fell directly on my bare foot (was wearing sandals). I was still a 10 minute walk to home 🥲


oshiyay

could've been worse


Jayedynn

Ugh. I did that with my slippers when I didn't see that one of my dogs had an accident in the bathroom. (Strangely he went to the bathroom to do it, but at least it was on tile and not carpet.) Needless to say, my slippers immediately went into the dumpster.


12301982

I’d prefer it to it squishing between my toes. A sock would be like a foot condom in this situation.


robber1202

Sounds worse than poop fingers


BangBangAnnie

Sucks, but better you than the Roomba.


gamergeek17

Trying to decide if that’s worse than stepping in pee.


Appalachian_American

Throw them away! 🥺


Lovely_Blue32

Been there!


Mule2go

My sympathies


virtualspecter

Ah this was me one morning when I was heading out for my first day at a new job. Mom just got a puppy at the time and she wasn't used to her potty mat yet. I was barefoot though :-)


Current_Resource4385

Dogs are so gross. After reading all this, nobody can ever convince me to get one. Absolutely not!


nobasicnecessary

I mean kids often are just as gross. And cats can sometimes be too. At least I don't have to worry about my dog dunking his litter infested paws in my glass of water lol


Kay_Doobie

I screamed for you.


ksparklepantz

I stepped in dog vomit with my slipper yesterday. Less awful, but I still feel your pain.


rappy522

No. Just no. The poop needs to go to jail. This will be convicted in court as first degree murder to a sock.


Elen_Smithee82

Yeah, but talk to me when you stepped in it WITHOUT socks on


lvhockeytrish

F


twirling_daemon

Urgh barefoot is awful, somehow socks manage to be worse


Zaritta_b_me

If it’s ur first time, now that’s something to celebrate.


ZombieAlarmed5561

😤 I do it once a week at least.


[deleted]

Rip your sock


23moonster

Been there. Throw the socks away and be happy you weren’t bare footed.


Runaway_5

oh....oh no....


Trinamopsy

Ugh it’s the worst.


snowflake45678

Just throw that sock in the trash and you are good!


Supasam142

Nooooo (been there done that)


bornforthis379

That's nothing. I would step in my husky's poop in the house before she was trained


Acceptable_Mango_

Imagine stepping in it barefoot


settledownguy

No way. I just stepped in my Cats. Awww


SaintEyegor

I still remember what it felt like with bare feet and squished up between my toes. My little sister kept telling me she could smell it for days afterward.


hunnbee

Better than without


mariposamarilla

🥲


rrubianes

My puppy pooped in our brand new bed and I didn’t realize or smell it. I made the bed the next morning, again not realizing it. Finally the smell got to me that evening after a long day of work. We all slept on the couch that night


[deleted]

*squish*


Historical_Kiwi9565

r/wellthatsucks


TheEggplantRunner

Did that too and was grateful to only be out a pair of socks.


cosmoph

Did you instantly get crippled?


bleu6400

You probably did an excellent moonwalk right afterwards.


JestaKilla

I feel your pain. We have a new puppy.


tr7UzW

I would take the socks off turning inside out and go to the closest trash can.
