A frustrated dog owner in Sydney, tired of having to clean up what she suspects is human waste off her dogs, has spoken out against the people defecating around Bondi Beach, or as she calls them, the "public poopers."

Taking to TikTok, Julia Sakr says she regularly takes her dogs for walks in the beachside suburb and often comes across "human sh*t".

"Gagging"

"People who have been walking around Bondi and just taking a dump in multiple places... I have never encountered the amount of human sh*t that I have in Bondi," she says while going for a walk with her pooches.

"You might be thinking, how do you know it's human sh*t?" she says before flipping her camera around to show her dogs. "Well, see my dogs there? They always sniff out human sh*t. And I know it's human sh*t because they make a beeline for it and they start eating it... like it's some sort of delicacy."

"The amount of times that I’ve had to clean human sh*t from their fur… it’s more than the fingers that I have in my two hands," she claims, attaching a photo of brown excrement rubbed into one of her dog's white fur.

The experience apparently leaves her "gagging".

Julia guesses that the poopers use the gutter as an ergonomic "little seat to sit on" as she always finds the "turds" tucked neatly into the kerb.

But she's still left wondering — why?!

"What I want to know is why are there so many sh*tters in Bondi?" she asks. "Is it because everyone is so healthy, they go on runs and they need to do a sh*t, so they just do it where they are?"

This poses another question for her... "Are you just walking around with sh*t between your butt cheeks? Because you obviously haven't wiped or washed your bum either."

"C'mon people, that's disgusting," she concludes.

"This has always been a Bondi thing"

According to the comments, Julia isn't the only local who has noticed this trend.

"I have caught two people in Bondi doing this… yep both were runners," replied one person.

And others jumped on the runner conspiracy, saying: "Must be all the early morning fitness freaks. There's no shops open and no public toilets."

Someone else suggested that runners should carry "jogger sh*t bags" like dog owners have to do.

Another said: "We stayed in a nice hotel in Bondi once and someone did a sh*t out the front."

And someone else revealed: "I promise you this has always been a Bondi thing. Even when I was a kid and why I left Bondi an adult."

"WHATTT ON EARTH!?!!! TOILETS PEOPLE," said someone else, while a different commenter acknowledged that while the urge can come on suddenly, people should "plan their route" better.
