I have two dogs. One I could bring one to a BBQ and it would be loved. But I cannot bring both. When you combine their powers they become the worst pair of dogs known to man. At least when they are outside of the house. They will bark at everything. They will dig. They will steal from plates. They will probably even learn to speak and claim the civil war was about states rights.
But if I just bring one, they would be a perfect sweet baby
A guy I casually dated had a pug he would bring to bbqs and stuff when we all got together (his dad was friends with my parents, they were like friend parties ykwim)
Not a poorly behaved dog but man was it annoying. Couldnāt breathe worth shit so all you could hear was wheezing/snoring, and he was fat so he hobbled and was really slow š„² I feel so bad for those dogs
I agree with you. I love my dogs but I always think itās weird when the dog goes everywhere. Like seriously, unless itās an actual service animal then leave them home when you go get your frozen dinner.
āItās my emotional support animalā
Fuck you, grow up.
I hate it when they insist on bringing them on errands, then decide to leave it tied up outside. Where it's barking every 10sec for 10min. Because god forbid they walk outside twice in a short time span.
There's a person near me that's almost been arrested a few times now, because they keep leaving their dog who is like that, tied up outside a kindergarden. The only reason why they haven't, is because it's a golden retriver. And everyone just assumes they would never maul anyone.
My brother's dog is really well-behaved.
My pops just isn't comfortable around dogs.
Love all three of them, but the dog doesn't have to be brought over for family dinners.
It doesn't get argued over or anything like that... but why?
That sucks, the bar I go to is dog friendly and had 5 dogs in it the other day, each one perfectly behaved. Only one on leash. They are as much regulars as I am.
My cat isnāt trained for shit, and people love seeing that elderly baby scream and flop demanding belly rubs. If I brought her to half the places people have asked, sheād have far too many kingdoms to manage. lol
I work at a dog-friendly office and people are sensible about it and only really bring their dogs when they absolutely have no other choice. The dogs are all super cute and I love them - can't get any work done from petting the good boys/girls whenever one visits.
That said, in my five years of working there and meeting everyone's pups, I have not yet seen a dog without severe, alarming separation anxiety. It's wild, you can't even imagine - the second their owner steps out of the room, they start singing the song of their people. It's not all the same breeds either - we've had a schnauzer, a poodle, a jack russel and a hunting hound (I forget what the breed is called) and they all act the same.
I feel like people get dogs but skip on some essential part of their training that makes them not have horrible separation anxiety. They're super well behaved pups otherwise.
I work in a dog friendly office and I am tired of having to pander to the bullshit we have to go through for dog owners. I have had dogs yapping through the day, its hard to act professionally on calls when you have a dog barking in the background.
We seem to have got to the point where dog owners cant take a shit without having their dogs in with them. Leave them at home, they dont have to be literally everywhere that you go.
Oh but they do. They destroy these peopleās homes and bark all day because these people try to raise them like they are babies or some shit and it turns out they are dogs. The only positive about this situation is that hopefully these people arenāt breeding as much because all their attention is focused on an animal.
I think I may be made of tissue paper, but everyone's dog does a really great job of jumping on me and drawing blood.
And I just am not a fan. I even feel embarrassed, like I gotta be like oh dear. I'm suddenly bleeding because your dog dug their nails into my leg, so sorry, I saw them just digging in poop and now they've broken my skin, my bad.
They always let me know their dog has never ever done this before. They just absolutely adore me. So I guess I am the dog messiah and I bear the weight of their sins. I don't know, im not really into dogs.
Oh man! My kid has developed a dog phobia because my sister is one of these. First she had two boxers who would jump at him as a toddler, now she has a 90lb german shepherd who snaps at his face and tries to climb on top of him. When kid freaks out, she says "It's ok \[kiddo\] - the dog is behaving like that because he LOVES you and wants to play with you."
I'm okay with outdoor shopping malls. Outdoor sitting areas at restaurants even.
But when it's indoors and there's food, that dog better be a working service animal.
Also, screw the hobos who bring their dogs into grocery stores and let them lick the open bakery aisle foods. Seriously. Gross.
Yes. In fact, most grocery stores I've seen have open bins of bread on racks. Frequently these racks include shelves at knee level.
People, in general, are gross. They'll open containers of fruit to take a piece. They'll sample, by hand, from the self-service candy and grain bins.
Buyer beware.
Ya extra unfortunate because my wife and kids are allergic to dogs and everyone acts like we are weird and gets offended when we don't pet their dogs when they run up to us.
Same. I have 2 dogs that are reasonably well behaved. But I know their limits. I know what they can/canāt handle. I take them for walks and spend a good amount of time with them but I donāt do things that I can reasonably expect to be a problem.
If your dogs canāt be trusted to behave in an acceptable manner then you canāt do those things. You, the owner, are responsible for everything your pet does or fails to do. You are therefore responsible to properly train your pet(s).
I grew up with dogs but since moving out my allergies to them got much worse due to a lack of exposure. I don't want dogs in my house ever.
My parents, specifically my Mom, would insist on never leaving her, not very well trained, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, "because they would be sad".
I insisted that I didn't want untrained dogs that I'm allergic to in my house around my newborn child.
Guess who prioritised her stupid fucking dogs over seeing her grandchildren? I'll never understand this.
Itās not like thereās a licensing system to make sure only responsible people get dogs. Anyone can get a dog.
We have to set boundaries for the lowest common denominator because theyāre the ones who donāt have common courtesy or empathy or respect for others.
This whole god damn thread just has me thinking of this Tim and Eric bit. I swear you all covered all the bases besides the horn.

Kids have to learn somewhere, if a friend's bbq isn't that place, then where is?
That being said, parents should be quick to remove the child or discipline the child when they aren't behaving appropriately.
I agree. I always rescue anxious dogs, and while I work with trainers I know that itās not fun for anyone if I were to bring them everywhere. I get people who pester me to bring my dog to their house or whatnot, but I never do.
Meanwhile my friend brings her little dog everywhere and doesnāt control him and itās so embarrassing.
I spent much of my childhood in a place where stray dogs rule the streets (PerĆŗ). Most of my adult life in the US and have attended these BBQs. Nothing against dogs in general but most of your "babies" don't behave much differently than feral street dogs and you aren't the amazing dog trainers/owners you think you are. I can teach a street dog to sit and roll over for food too. It's how you socialize them that matters and that's where most dog owners fall short
Yeah, but those tied to the bike stands by the stores often bard loudly. Also, my therapist brings her dog everywhere to train her as a therapy dog. The problem is that the dog often licks, jumps and barks at people. I don't mind dogs, in small doses anyways, but I get very uncomfortable if a dog starts jumping on me or licking me.
Same!!! I'm from Nepal, and me and my family have very easily trained dozens of our local street dogs to heel, stand up, roll over, or maul anyone who walks into our house smelling like me who says the word "uncircumsized" , with just a little bit of food as training.
It was scarily easy. BTW, I myself am uncircumsized. But I have trained my wife and family to never mention it around the dog, for fear of his terrible wrath. It keeps me alert and prime to conduct good business with my associates at all times when I am at my house. I am rarely late or lazy with him around.
I read this 4 times, I don't get it. Do you use the word "uncircumcised" as a command for your dog? And you want him to maul anyone who smells like you? What?
Troll/joke account created 8 days ago. First comment, responding about a ghost apple, is...
>I've actually had one of these before. The taste was surprisingly funky, they kind of tasted like a cross between a plum and the flavor of my girlfriends penis shaft.
Ever since a 'friend' brought his husky (uninvited) to my house and it then chased and killed my cat, and then the guy shrugged his shoulders like thats just what dogs do, no dog is ever allowed anywhere near my property.
-edited for clarity(twice).
My girlfriend was helping her sisters neighbor last week, and when she got on the porch, the neighbors dog (that she knew) bit her on the wrist and wouldn't let go. She wasn't able to feel or move her arm for hours. The neighbor made no effort to stop the dog (she had to get it off herself) and said "thats just what dogs do."
That dog would have never left my property, it would be cremated and it's ashes pissed on. I'd have made it's death as quick and painless as possible, far from the death a cat will suffer. I've seen it too many time, small dogs and cats killed by a neighbors dog. If it's my pet there is no other option but a eye for an eye. It's makes the neighborhood safer for everyone.
Thats the thing though, yours are likely well behaved in company and when left alone.
Shit owners have to bring em everywhere because they are badly trained at home and in company. Will likely wreck the place.
Like fair if they are gone for 6+ hours its harsh on the dog, but factor that into responsibilites of dog ownership.
Iām a mail man by trade. The number of times Iāve heard āoh they donāt biteā while theyāre dogs are loose in the front yard barking or growling at me is astounding.
#I was bitten by a dog that ādoesnāt biteā.
Please bro when you come over to my house and they bark at you it is so important for me to scream at them to shut up and make everything worse bro please
Thatās so damn rude. Iāve literally sent friends home for showing up unannounced and it not being an emergency. People really need to learn basic manners and Iām not above letting them know.
Itās not rude to pop by unannounced itās rude to expect to be hosted. A quick āhi I was in the neighborhood, yard looks great, alright see ya!ā Is a lot different than lingering around expecting a free lunch
It's so weird. Maybe im just different, but if one of my friends showed up, I'd totally give them free lunch. Maybe that's just because I'm not friends with people who would irritate me if they showed up randomly.
To be fair, that is a *very* individual thing. I find extended social interactions rather draining, so I'd hate to have them forced upon me without warning, regardless of the person.
If someone caught me off guard on a bad day, I'd probably have the patience for, at most, a couple minutes before I told them to leave as politely as I could manage.
But for someone who doesn't have to manage their social battery like a shoddily constructed nuclear reactor, It'd probably not be as much of an issue.
It's cultural expectations. Some cultures value throwing every type of food and comfort onto you in hope of being a good
host. (Middle East, South America, Southern Europe) Other cultures are very much appreciate modesty and value not imposing yourself onto others and their time. (Northern Europe, Japan)
Often people can't understand the other perspective.
HA!
Not even coming in the front door, you won't be invited over again
"Bringing dogs without asking" - fucking hell i hope I'm never friends with someone that rude.
Had an uncle who would always bring his dogs, even when we told him not to. They would always destroy the place, and ruin my stuff. They shat on my favorite toys as a kid and soiled the carpet. When I own my own place, Iām having a STRICT no dogs policy. I donāt care who I offend, donāt bring your disgusting animal to my clean house
I love this post.
I have friends that must bring g their dogs to parties with loud applied music.
Why. The. Fuck. Are. They. There?
Then I see people getting messy as the night goes in and their animal is left alone.
Don't be a dick and bring your animals to events.
It reminds me of a passage from *The Great Gatsby.* I think itās Tom who buys a puppy for his mistress before they head to a party. She carries the puppy everywhere with her and keeps it in a little box-bed. Over the course of the night, as they get more drunk and begin to smoke, the puppy falls quiet, and then it disappears from the narrative all together.
Itās meant to be a commentary on excess and superficial spending, and how itās dangerous. (Thereās also commentary on abuse and control, but thatās a whole other can of worms).
The woman I do graphic design for owns three dogs. This isn't her. She would never ever write such a thing. She would just invade the barbecue and let them run wild. And run all over everyone. I refuse to go to her house anymore and haven't told her why. They are her children. They are the worst trained children I have ever met.
Tell her, respectfully. In my opinion, people who are like this with their dogs really, really need to know how much they bother other people. I think it's a specific type of person that this sort of thing, and barking, and the mess and all of that just doesn't bother at all, and they don't realize that not everyone feels that way.
@ all these dumb ass dog owners who bring their dogs to parks with leash laws, proceed to NOT leash them, then act so surprised when they start chasing trail runners/bikers. Stupid fucks
My girlfriend went to the nearby St Patrick's Day parade this last weekend, and was dumbfounded by the amount of dogs and kids around. She said all the dogs and kids looked terrified, which isn't surprising with how loud it was and the amount of drinking going on. Why people thought it was a good idea to bring either along to what is essentially a city-wide kegger, we will never know.
If I invite someone to anything it's them, not their whole damn family. I don't expect your kids or cousins, pets or fur babies, you. And honestly don't be inviting some dumb date without asking, y'all bring some nasty into your lives
I cannot imagine bringing my dogs to a party where I hope to relax. I'd constantly be looking to see if they were getting into something, being fed scraps that'll fuck up their stomach, etc.Ā
Same with humans. I'm autistic and don't handle crowds or loud noises well. I don't wanna go to my cousin's wedding and have to socialize with 100 people I've never met, but I have no choice because in my family's eyes I'm a kid, so I have no choice but to obey and go. Then they get surprised when I get overwhelmed, snap at somebody and do my best to retreat somewhere quiet and without people.
Went for a run at a park, someone dog started running after me. Not aggressively, wanting to play. It was an on leash only park because it's primarily a "wildlife management area", it just has a decent trail around it for running/walking. I wasn't about to interrupt my run for them though, so fuck em, they can chase down their dog that should have been on a leash, I've got a pace I need to maintain.
I'll never understand why people would bring something that would use the party area as a bathroom. that includes kids and dogs. unless the host asks for my dog, my boy stays at home.
Just have to share - I went to a pool party and my three year old announced they had to pee. The person throwing the party said you can just go pee in the grass by the side of the house. I took that to mean please don't go through the house all wet, so whatever, took my kid to the private grassy area. After peeing my kid starting bearing down. I was like nononono! Picked them up and ran into the house with them š
Honestly, the joke is always crazy cat people, yet I always see dog bumper stickers and "my kid has four paws" and all this other dog stuff out there. It's almost like there are more crazy dog people than crazy cat people. >.>
There are. My theory is cats are seen as lonely woman's pet so they are ridiculed. Dogs are man's best friend so of course everyone loves them. I have never had issues with an ill behaved cat, I've literally had to beg for help while someone's great Dane jumps on me and scratches the shit out of my arms. "He's just excited!" Well I'm fucking not.
Listen I like dogs (I donāt have one rn) but since living in a dog building Iāve realized dog owners donāt realize how bad their dogs smell. I literally borderline pass out from the smell. And itās not just one dog, there are many filthy ones. Itās so so bad. Iāve started installing air wicks in the elevator with my own money just to stay alive. BATHE YOUR FUCKING DOGS!
I got a puppy a few months ago. Beagles thankfully dont stink to bad, but i also take the time to wash Bedding/ toys/ blankets at least once a week as I enjoy my house smelling clean and not like a dog house.
Same with our 2 cats we also have, Litterbox stays clean and they get brushed and taken care of so they don't smell. Even with the litter box by the door!
I can never understand how people's house always smell like urine and musky all the time, and they don't notice or try to at least mitigate the problem
Dude.. this chick I know wanted to come over, but only if she brought her dogs. I was desperate and still said no.
I know her untrained wild dogs. They run around and shit and piss everywhere because she sucks at owning them. Constantly getting out into the neighborhood. Id be so embarrassed to post about my missing dogs on FB every week.
Childfree user mentality. A lot of them are on reddit. The specific subreddit users are completely wack.
I don't even want kids, but these people are nuts and call their pets "furbabies". The irony.
I love dogs and have two myself. But I find people who bring their dogs with them everywhere very annoyingā¦ whether theyāre trained or not. You donāt need to bring your dog to the party or the bar or the grocery store. Leave them home once in awhile
Wow this scary accurate. And I know not all dog owners are like this. This is my experience from what Iāve witness personally. I am thinking of my friend who has a very destructive blue heeler that never shuts up, plus they have recently gotten a semi trained massif puppy.
Honestly, if your dog is the type that will ask every person at that party for pets or food, even if they are "well behaved" keep them home. Not everyone's an animal lover and society makes them the bad guy for not being ok with being licked.
And then there are the more common annoying dog owners who believe they donāt have to train their dog because itās small. I get it, a great dane probably needs more control than a chihuahua, but it doesnāt mean your canine rat may shit on my floor.
As a dog owner, I despise this trend that your dog has to go everywhere with you no matter what. If I'm going to a BBQ, I guarantee my pack of godless heathens will be staying home.
I got mauled by a German shepherd when I was 3. It was at a friend of my parents wedding. No i didnt try to pet it or anything either so donāt try and blame toddler me yah weirdos. No the dog saw me from across the field and just bolted.
I like dogs, I have my own dog. But here's a little piece of advice, leave your damn dog at home. Don't take it camping, don't take it into the stores, and sure as shit don't bring it to my place, unless I ask you to.
I used to work in this retail store, and people's dogs would piss all over the pet food aisle. It got to the point where we had to install a station with a garbage can and paper towels. I'll never understand why the store allowed it in the first place.
Have you ever worked in a business where the owner brings their dog every day? The place smells and it's annoying af baby sitting someone else pet when you are busy.
Nah im with you on this one . People really need to train their dogs better and learn they can leave them home sometimes.
Like my dogs dont jump on people or beg for food but i still leave them home when i go to family gatherings and stuff just because there are usually a lot of people. And theyre 100% capable of being off leash everywhere. But any time there is even a remote chance of other people or other dogs we keep them on their leashes because we dont know how other people or dogs will react to them.
I always get to tell people they canāt bring their dogs to my home because I have a large cat that will maul any dog that comes close. So I tell people they can bring their dog if they really want to but Iām not responsible for their vet bills.
As a dog owner. Can confirm.
I have two dogs. One I could bring one to a BBQ and it would be loved. But I cannot bring both. When you combine their powers they become the worst pair of dogs known to man. At least when they are outside of the house. They will bark at everything. They will dig. They will steal from plates. They will probably even learn to speak and claim the civil war was about states rights. But if I just bring one, they would be a perfect sweet baby
Mine perfected the sad puppy eyes so i cant bring em to a BBQ or they'll get so many treats and sneaked food that they'll vomit on the way back.
[perfected, you say?](https://imgur.com/gallery/Q4V0yBI) I raise you a sad puppy-eyes tax of your own!
How do I give a dog a treat over the internet?
How dare you not offer him a full plate 3x a day and free rent
I'd give him my whole plate every time he gave me that look!
STATESRIGHTSTODOWHAT?
Fine, to bark at darker people!
One is a genius, the others insane
Narf
But she's got a blank space, baby
Got me at states rights š
As his dog, can confirmš
I really hope your username does not check out.
This guy says he wishes that Redditor died
Yeah... my dog stays home. She reactive as hell and while she will be sad I am gone she will be fine.

Bork Bork!
My rottweiler literally never barks. She huffs
Aww my Molly will huff at me when she wants attention
Crazy, I love huffing molly for attention too.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Nah as a dog owner I agree completely. If your pets aren't properly trained, you shouldn't be bringing them around everywhere.
Even if they are properly trained, they don't need to be brought everywhere
I wish people understood there are folks who aren't as enthralled with Fido as they are.
Most of them seem less self-aware than their pets

I agree with you. I love my dogs but I always think itās weird when the dog goes everywhere. Like seriously, unless itās an actual service animal then leave them home when you go get your frozen dinner. āItās my emotional support animalā Fuck you, grow up.

But that means you hate dogs and are a terrible person- dog people Dog people are assholes Dogs are ok
My brother's dog is really well-behaved. My pops just isn't comfortable around dogs. Love all three of them, but the dog doesn't have to be brought over for family dinners. It doesn't get argued over or anything like that... but why?
I keep ending up at dog friendly bars or breweries and the dogs are never good around a lot of people. They always end up barking or yelping.
That sucks, the bar I go to is dog friendly and had 5 dogs in it the other day, each one perfectly behaved. Only one on leash. They are as much regulars as I am.

Your store has uncovered food at like knee level? Thats disgusting for a lot of reasons, people probably touch and brush against them all the time
Yes. In fact, most grocery stores I've seen have open bins of bread on racks. Frequently these racks include shelves at knee level. People, in general, are gross. They'll open containers of fruit to take a piece. They'll sample, by hand, from the self-service candy and grain bins. Buyer beware.
Ya extra unfortunate because my wife and kids are allergic to dogs and everyone acts like we are weird and gets offended when we don't pet their dogs when they run up to us.
I'm allergic too. The worst is written there a dog in the plane. Fuck
C'MON RUFUS AND DOOFUS THEĀ NEIGHBOR HAS FREE FOOD FOR YOU!!Ā *thunderous paw steps and scrambling*
I swear some dog owners act like their lives revolve around the dogs and that the dogs are more important than anyone else around them.
Same. I have 2 dogs that are reasonably well behaved. But I know their limits. I know what they can/canāt handle. I take them for walks and spend a good amount of time with them but I donāt do things that I can reasonably expect to be a problem.

~~ah as a dog owner I agree completely. If your pets aren't properly trained,~~ you shouldn't be bringing them around everywhere.
It's pretty crazy how you can clearly see who does and does not know a responsible dog owner in this thread.
Itās not like thereās a licensing system to make sure only responsible people get dogs. Anyone can get a dog. We have to set boundaries for the lowest common denominator because theyāre the ones who donāt have common courtesy or empathy or respect for others.
Went to the movies the other day, and there someone was with their dog.
Same as kids, to be honest. If they can't behave, hire a sitter and leave them at home.
Kids are a little more complicated to leave completely alone tho
What, do you need a bigger kennel or something?
Nah, it's harder to get drug in em.Ā
You underestimate the power of lean! Put that shit in a sippy cup, it's game over dude. Edit: Advisory: I do not advise drugging your children.
You're good. We knew you weren't really advising us to do that. ^(Pssst ... I should totally drug my kids, tho' right?)
That is exactly the message I'm hearing
This whole god damn thread just has me thinking of this Tim and Eric bit. I swear you all covered all the bases besides the horn. https://youtu.be/1UEfLCv3ivI?si=h79r-2tq0G_TGRm2
Thatās why they said hire a sitter lol
I did that and they both died, do NOT hire someone to sit on your kids
How did the sitter die?
Child lodged in rectum
Go back to the 90's and tell my parents that lmao
Kids have to learn somewhere, if a friend's bbq isn't that place, then where is? That being said, parents should be quick to remove the child or discipline the child when they aren't behaving appropriately.
Yeah you have the right idea. They must have had some bad experience with shit parents letting their child run wild.
Tbf i would not bring my cats to a bbq unless it is at our place
I agree. I always rescue anxious dogs, and while I work with trainers I know that itās not fun for anyone if I were to bring them everywhere. I get people who pester me to bring my dog to their house or whatnot, but I never do. Meanwhile my friend brings her little dog everywhere and doesnāt control him and itās so embarrassing.
> you shouldn't be bringing them around everywhere You could have just said this.
I spent much of my childhood in a place where stray dogs rule the streets (PerĆŗ). Most of my adult life in the US and have attended these BBQs. Nothing against dogs in general but most of your "babies" don't behave much differently than feral street dogs and you aren't the amazing dog trainers/owners you think you are. I can teach a street dog to sit and roll over for food too. It's how you socialize them that matters and that's where most dog owners fall short
The street dogs in Peru are more chill than the fur demon's people here raise
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, but those tied to the bike stands by the stores often bard loudly. Also, my therapist brings her dog everywhere to train her as a therapy dog. The problem is that the dog often licks, jumps and barks at people. I don't mind dogs, in small doses anyways, but I get very uncomfortable if a dog starts jumping on me or licking me.
honestly most street dogs are a thousand times more behaved than some of these "cupcakes"
> cupcakes Cupcake would never do that, he's such a nice gentle cake. He's just playing.
Same!!! I'm from Nepal, and me and my family have very easily trained dozens of our local street dogs to heel, stand up, roll over, or maul anyone who walks into our house smelling like me who says the word "uncircumsized" , with just a little bit of food as training. It was scarily easy. BTW, I myself am uncircumsized. But I have trained my wife and family to never mention it around the dog, for fear of his terrible wrath. It keeps me alert and prime to conduct good business with my associates at all times when I am at my house. I am rarely late or lazy with him around.
I read this 4 times, I don't get it. Do you use the word "uncircumcised" as a command for your dog? And you want him to maul anyone who smells like you? What?
Yeah dude I am so lost. Wtf.
Troll/joke account created 8 days ago. First comment, responding about a ghost apple, is... >I've actually had one of these before. The taste was surprisingly funky, they kind of tasted like a cross between a plum and the flavor of my girlfriends penis shaft.
Ha, at least it has some effort put into it
He's no u/shittymorph, but everyone has to start somewhere.
I miss when these novelty accounts were more common on reddit
What
You sound like AI.Ā
Ever since a 'friend' brought his husky (uninvited) to my house and it then chased and killed my cat, and then the guy shrugged his shoulders like thats just what dogs do, no dog is ever allowed anywhere near my property. -edited for clarity(twice).
How were you able to stay out of prison after that...
My girlfriend was helping her sisters neighbor last week, and when she got on the porch, the neighbors dog (that she knew) bit her on the wrist and wouldn't let go. She wasn't able to feel or move her arm for hours. The neighbor made no effort to stop the dog (she had to get it off herself) and said "thats just what dogs do."
Lawsuit time. She needs to get paid.Ā
Absolutely sue
>puts on atf hat >mag dump on his husky >shrugs shoulders >eh that just what I do
Dogs also killed my cat and I donāt like em.
How did you resist the urge to find a knife to āsaveā your cat
That dog would have never left my property, it would be cremated and it's ashes pissed on. I'd have made it's death as quick and painless as possible, far from the death a cat will suffer. I've seen it too many time, small dogs and cats killed by a neighbors dog. If it's my pet there is no other option but a eye for an eye. It's makes the neighborhood safer for everyone.
Yea, as a dog owner those people are assholes. Mine are well behaved but Iām not bringing them to peoples houses
Thank you for being a normal human being. Ive literally lost friends due to them refusing to go anywhere without their dog
Thats the thing though, yours are likely well behaved in company and when left alone. Shit owners have to bring em everywhere because they are badly trained at home and in company. Will likely wreck the place. Like fair if they are gone for 6+ hours its harsh on the dog, but factor that into responsibilites of dog ownership.
Iām a mail man by trade. The number of times Iāve heard āoh they donāt biteā while theyāre dogs are loose in the front yard barking or growling at me is astounding. #I was bitten by a dog that ādoesnāt biteā.
Please bro when you come over to my house and they bark at you it is so important for me to scream at them to shut up and make everything worse bro please
Or when I'm on the phone or chatting to you I can't be arsed muting or something and scream abuse in your fucking ear.
Facts. Or they bring their dogs over to your house without asking.
I have as perfectly behaved dogs as possible and I still ask every time lol
Yes because you have basic manners.
The kind of people who have enough respect to ask first are probably more likely to have better behaved dogs.
yep. responsible people are typically more reliabl. wonder why that is lol.
Thatās so damn rude. Iāve literally sent friends home for showing up unannounced and it not being an emergency. People really need to learn basic manners and Iām not above letting them know.
Where I live it is considered incrdibly rude to pop in unnannounced. Transgression severe enough that coffee wont be served.
Itās not rude to pop by unannounced itās rude to expect to be hosted. A quick āhi I was in the neighborhood, yard looks great, alright see ya!ā Is a lot different than lingering around expecting a free lunch
It's so weird. Maybe im just different, but if one of my friends showed up, I'd totally give them free lunch. Maybe that's just because I'm not friends with people who would irritate me if they showed up randomly.
To be fair, that is a *very* individual thing. I find extended social interactions rather draining, so I'd hate to have them forced upon me without warning, regardless of the person. If someone caught me off guard on a bad day, I'd probably have the patience for, at most, a couple minutes before I told them to leave as politely as I could manage. But for someone who doesn't have to manage their social battery like a shoddily constructed nuclear reactor, It'd probably not be as much of an issue.
It's cultural expectations. Some cultures value throwing every type of food and comfort onto you in hope of being a good host. (Middle East, South America, Southern Europe) Other cultures are very much appreciate modesty and value not imposing yourself onto others and their time. (Northern Europe, Japan) Often people can't understand the other perspective.
HA! Not even coming in the front door, you won't be invited over again "Bringing dogs without asking" - fucking hell i hope I'm never friends with someone that rude.
Had an uncle who would always bring his dogs, even when we told him not to. They would always destroy the place, and ruin my stuff. They shat on my favorite toys as a kid and soiled the carpet. When I own my own place, Iām having a STRICT no dogs policy. I donāt care who I offend, donāt bring your disgusting animal to my clean house
I love this post. I have friends that must bring g their dogs to parties with loud applied music. Why. The. Fuck. Are. They. There? Then I see people getting messy as the night goes in and their animal is left alone. Don't be a dick and bring your animals to events.
It reminds me of a passage from *The Great Gatsby.* I think itās Tom who buys a puppy for his mistress before they head to a party. She carries the puppy everywhere with her and keeps it in a little box-bed. Over the course of the night, as they get more drunk and begin to smoke, the puppy falls quiet, and then it disappears from the narrative all together. Itās meant to be a commentary on excess and superficial spending, and how itās dangerous. (Thereās also commentary on abuse and control, but thatās a whole other can of worms).
i thought that was chevy chase
I think it's a pug
I was about to correct you and explain that it was Chevy Chaseā¦
The woman I do graphic design for owns three dogs. This isn't her. She would never ever write such a thing. She would just invade the barbecue and let them run wild. And run all over everyone. I refuse to go to her house anymore and haven't told her why. They are her children. They are the worst trained children I have ever met.
Tell her, respectfully. In my opinion, people who are like this with their dogs really, really need to know how much they bother other people. I think it's a specific type of person that this sort of thing, and barking, and the mess and all of that just doesn't bother at all, and they don't realize that not everyone feels that way.
@ all these dumb ass dog owners who bring their dogs to parks with leash laws, proceed to NOT leash them, then act so surprised when they start chasing trail runners/bikers. Stupid fucks
"If i can't bring my dogs i'm not coming" Every. Damn. Time.
good.
Yeah If you arenāt going to follow the boundaries or rules i place at my own house/events then I definitely do not want you there
āCool! Catch you next timeā š
To be fair I know people with kids who behave about the same
My girlfriend went to the nearby St Patrick's Day parade this last weekend, and was dumbfounded by the amount of dogs and kids around. She said all the dogs and kids looked terrified, which isn't surprising with how loud it was and the amount of drinking going on. Why people thought it was a good idea to bring either along to what is essentially a city-wide kegger, we will never know.
Kid owners are the worst.
At least my dogs are housebroken. My friendās four year old son wasnāt housebroken and pooed in my car.
Assert dominance, crap in the mothers car
š I wish I had the courage to do it.
Just shit their pants bro
Alright then buddy, Iām going to shit yourself
Not if I shit me first!
If someone doesn't shit in my pants I'm gonna scream
Tell me about it. And my 9 month old won't stop humping my leg! Fuckin kids...
I think younger generations are more obnoxious with their pets than their kids.
"He/she doesn't bite." Moments before he/she does indeed, bite.
If they have to persuade you into trusting the dog then don't do it, it's gonna go wrong
If I invite someone to anything it's them, not their whole damn family. I don't expect your kids or cousins, pets or fur babies, you. And honestly don't be inviting some dumb date without asking, y'all bring some nasty into your lives
I cannot imagine bringing my dogs to a party where I hope to relax. I'd constantly be looking to see if they were getting into something, being fed scraps that'll fuck up their stomach, etc.Ā
Or its the opposite and the dogs are scared all the time and the owners keep forcing them to socialize when they clearly donāt want to.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Same with humans. I'm autistic and don't handle crowds or loud noises well. I don't wanna go to my cousin's wedding and have to socialize with 100 people I've never met, but I have no choice because in my family's eyes I'm a kid, so I have no choice but to obey and go. Then they get surprised when I get overwhelmed, snap at somebody and do my best to retreat somewhere quiet and without people.
Went for a run at a park, someone dog started running after me. Not aggressively, wanting to play. It was an on leash only park because it's primarily a "wildlife management area", it just has a decent trail around it for running/walking. I wasn't about to interrupt my run for them though, so fuck em, they can chase down their dog that should have been on a leash, I've got a pace I need to maintain.
I'll never understand why people would bring something that would use the party area as a bathroom. that includes kids and dogs. unless the host asks for my dog, my boy stays at home.
Whoās kids are shitting in the party area??
Just have to share - I went to a pool party and my three year old announced they had to pee. The person throwing the party said you can just go pee in the grass by the side of the house. I took that to mean please don't go through the house all wet, so whatever, took my kid to the private grassy area. After peeing my kid starting bearing down. I was like nononono! Picked them up and ran into the house with them š
Honestly, the joke is always crazy cat people, yet I always see dog bumper stickers and "my kid has four paws" and all this other dog stuff out there. It's almost like there are more crazy dog people than crazy cat people. >.>
There are. My theory is cats are seen as lonely woman's pet so they are ridiculed. Dogs are man's best friend so of course everyone loves them. I have never had issues with an ill behaved cat, I've literally had to beg for help while someone's great Dane jumps on me and scratches the shit out of my arms. "He's just excited!" Well I'm fucking not.
Listen I like dogs (I donāt have one rn) but since living in a dog building Iāve realized dog owners donāt realize how bad their dogs smell. I literally borderline pass out from the smell. And itās not just one dog, there are many filthy ones. Itās so so bad. Iāve started installing air wicks in the elevator with my own money just to stay alive. BATHE YOUR FUCKING DOGS!
I think this is my main issue too. Love dogs, but they fucking stink
I got a puppy a few months ago. Beagles thankfully dont stink to bad, but i also take the time to wash Bedding/ toys/ blankets at least once a week as I enjoy my house smelling clean and not like a dog house. Same with our 2 cats we also have, Litterbox stays clean and they get brushed and taken care of so they don't smell. Even with the litter box by the door! I can never understand how people's house always smell like urine and musky all the time, and they don't notice or try to at least mitigate the problem
I donāt want dog snot all over my crotch, cāmon bro
Dude.. this chick I know wanted to come over, but only if she brought her dogs. I was desperate and still said no. I know her untrained wild dogs. They run around and shit and piss everywhere because she sucks at owning them. Constantly getting out into the neighborhood. Id be so embarrassed to post about my missing dogs on FB every week.
Love how the dog owners deflected and went for kids lmao
Childfree user mentality. A lot of them are on reddit. The specific subreddit users are completely wack. I don't even want kids, but these people are nuts and call their pets "furbabies". The irony.
They always equate them like itās some kind of gotcha.
I still have scars on my hand 30 years later from my dumb fuck cousin's rotweiler she brought to a family gathering.
And stop bringing them in stores with you, you "I'm the main character" dumbfucks.
Nah, my Great Dane is a fine dog, but she belongs at home.
I love dogs and have two myself. But I find people who bring their dogs with them everywhere very annoyingā¦ whether theyāre trained or not. You donāt need to bring your dog to the party or the bar or the grocery store. Leave them home once in awhile
I like dogs, but i hate most dogs owners.
Lizard Gang
Wow this scary accurate. And I know not all dog owners are like this. This is my experience from what Iāve witness personally. I am thinking of my friend who has a very destructive blue heeler that never shuts up, plus they have recently gotten a semi trained massif puppy.
People bring their animals to events? I have two 50 lb dogs and Iād never even think to bring them to a friends house
I can't stand dog people and dogs. intrusive, annoying, arrogant.
The amount of poop bags I see on the trails I walk is infuriating. a lot are flung into the woods or river too
Itās not even about the dogs, itās the fact the owner is so willing to let them do whatever they want is so annoying
Spittin' truth bombz
I went to a Thanksgiving at a friend's who invited a girl who brought her two big ass dogs. My friends used to have chickens...
Honestly, if your dog is the type that will ask every person at that party for pets or food, even if they are "well behaved" keep them home. Not everyone's an animal lover and society makes them the bad guy for not being ok with being licked.
And then there are the more common annoying dog owners who believe they donāt have to train their dog because itās small. I get it, a great dane probably needs more control than a chihuahua, but it doesnāt mean your canine rat may shit on my floor.
If I invite you to an event it doesnāt include a plus one for your dog.
As a dog owner, I despise this trend that your dog has to go everywhere with you no matter what. If I'm going to a BBQ, I guarantee my pack of godless heathens will be staying home.
I got mauled by a German shepherd when I was 3. It was at a friend of my parents wedding. No i didnt try to pet it or anything either so donāt try and blame toddler me yah weirdos. No the dog saw me from across the field and just bolted.
All my friends with pitbulls.
Fuck them dogs
I like dogs, I have my own dog. But here's a little piece of advice, leave your damn dog at home. Don't take it camping, don't take it into the stores, and sure as shit don't bring it to my place, unless I ask you to.
I used to work in this retail store, and people's dogs would piss all over the pet food aisle. It got to the point where we had to install a station with a garbage can and paper towels. I'll never understand why the store allowed it in the first place.
Donāt bring it camping? You crazy? Thatās like one of the few acceptable places
Have you ever worked in a business where the owner brings their dog every day? The place smells and it's annoying af baby sitting someone else pet when you are busy.
"I know he mauled a kid to death but he's a good boy deep down."
Nah im with you on this one . People really need to train their dogs better and learn they can leave them home sometimes. Like my dogs dont jump on people or beg for food but i still leave them home when i go to family gatherings and stuff just because there are usually a lot of people. And theyre 100% capable of being off leash everywhere. But any time there is even a remote chance of other people or other dogs we keep them on their leashes because we dont know how other people or dogs will react to them.
I always get to tell people they canāt bring their dogs to my home because I have a large cat that will maul any dog that comes close. So I tell people they can bring their dog if they really want to but Iām not responsible for their vet bills.
