We have a guinea pig.
It's possible it's in the "trashy pet" category. |

Rottweilers. Owners are also tatted up, wear Ed Hardy shirts and tell everyone how sweet and loving their Rottie is and any of us who make assumptions based upon breed is simply wrong. Your toddler and Rottie have been best friends and play together. It's just the douchey owners who are trouble, not the breed.
I know you always yell, "he won't hurt ya...just wants to play", but I may have pooped my pants a little that time your dog lunged at me. I also think about how I could defend myself should your dog attack me ( would a rake help? How about this trash can? Would I hurt to kil or simply scare or injure...hmmm) |
That depends. If you live with small children, then no. If you are over 25, live with your parents and you wanted a dog but you couldn't afford the adoption fee and bought the guinea pig because PetCo was running a special where they threw in the cage and a bag of food for free... then yes. |
Good to know - it's my young child's pet and we adopted it from someone

Any dog someone uses for fighting and/or make them look tough.

Intact pit bulls with cropped ears (ie, not a forlorn rescue mix that pp mentioned, but tha thug life on tha corner pits) Ferrets Purse dogs Piranhas or any kind of fighting, toothed fish in an aquarium that costs more than a remedial English class at Montgomery county community college (that they didn't take) Parakeets |
Hhhmmm. I have one. No tattoos, no Ed Hardy (can you still buy that?). Partner at a BigLaw firm, Ivy grad. I'm one of the 'pearl clutchers' and the 'blonde bob and cardigan set' you tend to also make fun of, running around in my Tory Burch flats. (well, on the weekends anyway). And she doesn't lunge at people, unless you're coming in through the window? |
Pretty much ANY intact dog is trashy, unless you are a professional, trained breeder (is there accreditation for breeders?). Parakeets? No. They're sweet, if properly socialized. Everything else on your list, totally. And I love the price comparison between aggressive pets and community college. *sigh* |

Meh, I think a piranha might be kind of a cool pet.

How could we omit snakes up til this point? And I LIKE snakes. But any pet that requires you to feed it another live animal = trashy.
Not saying it isn't natural -- it surely is. But why would you want to watch a helpless mouse die every few days? What the heck is wrong with you that you want to facilitate that? |
| Holy shit we're officially the trashiest people ever! We have a snake, are almost always fostering a pit, our piranha just died and we have two little dogs. Although they're super smart and work as therapy dogs in hospitals so I don't know why people think they can't be trained. |

parakeets are cute.
we had a chameleon for awhile, but they are so high-maintenance. agree re:ferret. |
| I sort of think betta fish are trashy. They are all wavy, floating in their cheap tank. |
