I’m a dog mom too! What did you get your baby for Christmas? |
How and why are they annoying? I am not an introvert, but I like most of them. |
I’m just kidding!! Yeah, sure. |
| Religion. |
NP here. Agree. I can chime in on my thoughts. Some people use the excuse of being an "introvert" in place of having basic social graces. |
I know these people. It’s like a badge of honor. A similar version (or often claim both) is that they’re “nerds” because they read graphic novels or play board games or something. They constantly tell you but it’s more like a fashion choice than real. |
| Wow so many haters here. A toxic stew. |
With dog people, as with parents, there's this spectrum of annoyance. The more poorly behaved the dog/child is, cross-checked against how responsive the parent/owner is regarding and behavioral problems, dictates how charming or annoying I find their obsession with their child or dog. So calling yourself a dog mom is either cute or heinous, but we can't know until we've spent 30 minutes with you and your dog. |
Now if it's Harvard, Penn, or MIT, I just laugh at them. |
PP and yeah that’s true. I spoil my dog like crazy but I don’t take her everywhere and I certainly don’t take her places where it’s not legal to. It drives me crazy seeing people with dogs at the grocery store. One of my best friends just isn’t an animal person so I don’t talk to her about my dog. Others love her and want to see pictures of her all the time, and I’m happy to oblige. She’s well behaved but not perfect, and I avoid doing things that’ll get her too excited or annoying around other people. (Like I will never take her into a crowd, even if she’s allowed. She’ll get overwhelmed and bark). Anyway, I got my cutie a new bed for Christmas. It looks like a giant cotton ball and she loves it and has been hanging out there all week. |
Atheists. Can’t be bothered to find and post that “I’m an atheist—debate me” meme. You sound like my atheist BIL, pp. |
| Disney adults..... |
| People that say their dog is a rescue. |
Omg! Yes! Once you get past age 10, you are too old for Disney unless you are taking kids there. |
| I think sometimes it is other people making something your whole identity. I definitely found this to be true before I had kids. I was the yoga person for awhile—everyone talked to me about yoga and introduced me by saying I was into yoga etc. I didn’t do anything to encourage it! I think people think they are being nice, paying attention to what you’re interested in, but it’s weird. |
