The way some dog-owners seem to struggle to understand that not everyone’s a fan of dogs in the way they are or necessarily comfortable having them in their space. ‘S/he’s alright; their bark’s worse than their bite’ doesn’t necessarily mean that a passing stranger wants to be licked or jumped over. Respect that basic boundary.

(The “Little things that irritate you” thread was getting over-saturated, thanks to me.)

Nope. The only dog I like is Brian Griffin, and he’s an anthropomorphic pseudo-intellectual (no shade to him). Some people akin not being a dog-liker to mental illness but that says more about them than the person who has their preferences. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, and they’re entitled to that.

Dogs bark too much and just do not respect basic human boundaries. I just can’t get with them, and never have. The entitlement of many-a dog-owner who can’t possibly comprehend why random strangers don’t want to be licked or chased after doesn’t help.

That’s a shame

I generally don’t trust people who don’t like dogs .. dogs are very, very perceptive creatures and in my experience are very rarely wrong in their judgement.

This is exactly the kind of attitude I’m talking about.

I thought you would appreciate some honesty
