[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am no longer friendly to jerk dog owners. I'm not going to say "hi"or offer a little smile if we pass each other. I don't think your dog is cute, nor your behavior as its owner, and I'm not rewarding you with the attention you seek.

I will firmly say "no thanks" "excuse me" or flat out "NO" if your dog approaches me, while I'm minding my business on the right side of a path.

People need to stop enabling rude dog owners and faking being nice. You don't need to be rude in response to their crappy behavior, but be firm and honest. [/quote]

I've been thinking about this in general lately -- how I'm just a polite person who tries to get along with others and that's less me to just put up with a lot of rude behavior. And I just don't want to anymore.

I no longer smile at dog owners as I don't she their dog's aggressive behavior outside. When I hear dogs barking for long periods of time, I just call in a noise complaint. I will leave a grocery store or restaurant where people are there with dogs, and I will stop and let the manager know it's why I'm leaving.

I just think [b]we've all been polite for too long because God forbid we express unhappiness with a dog[/b] and get accused of hating dogs (ftr, I don't hate dogs at all, I just hate when they have crappy, irresponsible owners).[/quote]

Yep xMillion. they arrive just as you are leaving, returning home. No I don't want your fking dog at my driveway! If I did want a greeter, I have my own to do so. So disgusting.[/quote]

Wait, so you have a dog but think other people’s dogs ate disgusting? Kinda hypocritical.[/quote]

DP but it's not hypocritical. Just because I have a dog doesn't mean I'm excited when other people's dogs run up to me off leash, jump or lunge at me, lick me, block the sidewalk, block my access to my house, etc. I don't think the dog is disgusting but I am disgusted by the poor behavior of other dog owners who don't bother to train, control, or leash their dogs, or who take them all kinds of places I would never bring my dog.[/quote]
